Patent number: 11979791Abstract: Various embodiments that relate to local communication are discussed. A radio from one geographical area can enter a communication environment of a different geographical area. However, if the radio still functions consistent with the previous geographical area, then the radio will not blend into the new geographical area. Therefore, the radio can alter operational characteristics when entering the new geographical area such that the radio blends into the new geographical area from a radio frequency perspective.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Michael Adams, William Toth, Matthew Lazzaro, Todd Lutton, Michael Neuman, Diana Neuman, Stanley Fong

Patent number: 8386461Abstract: Methods and computing devices enable users to identify documents using a hash value mapped to a word mnemonic for easy recall and comparison. A hash algorithm may be applied a document to generate a distinguishing hash value. The hash value is mapped to a plurality of words to form the mnemonic. To obtain the words, the hash value may be mapped to word indices used to identify particular words in word lists. Word lists may include a list of nouns, a list of verbs, and a list of adverbs or adjectives, so that the resulting three word mnemonics are memorable. More word lists may be used to map hash values to four-, five- or more word mnemonics. The number-to-mnemonic mapping methods may be used to map large numbers, such as account numbers, telephone numbers, etc. into mnemonics which are easier for people to remember and compare.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Todd Adam Bachmann
