Patent number: 12684071Abstract: Various arrangements for handling a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) emergency call are provided herein. A VoIP emergency call can be made to a designated emergency phone number from a user equipment (UE). During the VoIP emergency call, location data can be obtained from a presence information data format location object (PIDF-LO) tag. The location data from the PIDF-LO tag can be compared with a registered location mapped to the UE. If determined that the location data indicates a location more than a threshold distance away from the registered location, a registered location update request can be transmitted to the UE.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2023Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: William Beckwith, Darci O'Hearn, Sougata Saha, Yohannes Tolossa, Mehdi Alasti, Raghavendhra Rao

Publication number: 20250267626Abstract: Intelligent paging for User Equipment (UE) devices in idle mode or inactive mode is disclosed. A UE device that is in idle or inactive mode may be temporarily brought into active mode to acquire its location using intelligent paging. This allows the requesting entity to track the UE device. The location of UE devices may be tracked at the Cell-ID level or at a more accurate level, such as with latitude, longitude, and/or altitude.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: August 21, 2025Applicant: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Mehdi ALASTI, William BECKWITH

Publication number: 20250008300Abstract: Systems and methods for improving accuracy of location information related to mobile communication are provided. In one example, a method includes: receiving communications including location information corresponding to locations where the communications are initiated by a requestor, wherein the communications include a first communication including first location information having a first level of accuracy, obtaining a first registered location based on the first location information, returning the first registered location to the requestor, receiving updated location information for the first communication from the requestor, wherein the updated location information has a second level of accuracy, comparing the first level and second level of accuracies, and in response to the second level of accuracy is higher than the first level of accuracy, registering the updated location information corresponding to the first location information.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: William Beckwith, Darci O’Hearn, Mehdi Alasti

Patent number: 8887131Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing the object code size of an application that requires run-time dispatching of object oriented methods. The method comprises scanning an object file corresponding to the application for references to object oriented methods in a dispatch table that performs run-time object oriented method binding. The highest inheritance level associated with an object oriented method is found. All references to object oriented methods above the highest inheritance level are designated as unused. All references to object oriented methods below the highest inheritance level are designate as used. All references to object oriented methods that are designated as unused are deleted from the dispatch table.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2008Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Objective Interface Systems, Inc.Inventors: William Beckwith, Lance Kibblewhite

Patent number: 8689244Abstract: A communication system according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises one or more integrated circuits. The one or more integrated circuits comprise at least one of a local integrated circuit and a remote integrated circuit. At least one sending application hardware module located on the local integrated circuit has a sending logic that controls the sending of messages from the sending application hardware module. At least one receiving application hardware module is located on at least one of the local integrated circuit or remote integrated circuit. A sending application hardware module sends messages to a receiving application hardware module without its sending logic having been constructed with a priori knowledge of the address of or the path to said receiving application hardware module. A dispatch logic located on the local integrated circuit that routes at least one or more.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Objective Interface Systems, Inc.Inventors: William Beckwith, Steven Deller, Joe G.

Patent number: 5724004Abstract: A communication device (104) includes a radio frequency power amplifier (202) and a bias circuit (204). The power amplifier (202) includes a depletion mode MESFET (214) for RF power amplification. To properly bias the MESFET (214) in a circuit including logic components powered by a conventional battery (136), the bias circuit (204) includes a level shifter (223) to provide the necessary gate-to-source voltage for the MESFET (214). To maintain the RF output power from the communication device (104) constant over temperature, the bias circuit (204) output voltage varies over temperature to track the temperature variation of the MESFET (214).Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1996Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Warren P.
