Abstract: An emergency gateway can receive carrier location information from a carrier location server for an end-user device that initiated an emergency services call. The emergency gateway can also receive supplemental location information for the end-user device from a supplemental location server and select one of the carrier location information and the supplemental location information. The emergency gateway can generate routing information for the emergency services call based on the selected location information, wherein the routing information identifies a given Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for the emergency services call. Further, the emergency gateway can route the emergency services call to the given PSAP based on the routing information.

Abstract: Automatic suspension of call and/or short text message service for a mobile device in motion. The speed of the wireless device is obtained or detected, and compared with a predetermined speed threshold to determine whether the speed has reached or exceeded the predetermined speed threshold. If so, suspension of a text messaging service is automatically triggered in response to the speed exceeding or reaching the threshold. Emergency call and/or text messaging capabilities may be retained even during suspension of service. An indication of the service suspension may be displayed on the mobile device. Suspension of the relevant service may be maintained for a predetermined period of time to provide a hysteresis so that when the device momentarily stops but is generally still in a driven situation, the service(s) remain suspended. The wireless device may permit a user to temporarily disable the suspension of service for a given period of time.

Abstract: Apparatus for degreasing and electroplating wire with a high current density electrolyte at high speeds includes a supply reel, guide pulleys, driving drums, degreasing and washing tanks, plating tanks and a take-up reel. The speeds of the driving drums for plating and degreasing are related and controlled in accordance with wire tension by means of a pulley, spring-based pivotable dancer arm, and a variable resistor. Fluid drag by wires running in one direction is eliminated by placement of a plurality of closely spaced anodes across the top of the plating bath and a flow stabilizer plate over the degreasing tank. A control circuit provides a desired constant ratio between drive speed and plating current.
