Appl. No.:

13/096700

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709207, 709217, 709232, 709234

Abstract:

In an embodiment, objects are downloaded to an access terminal (AT) based on which window(s) are prominently displayed on the AT. In another embodiment, objects are downloaded to the AT based on a set of user-specified object download priorities. In another embodiment, a portion of a streaming data session to the AT is de-prioritized in response to a transition of a display of the AT from a first set of windows associated with the streaming data session to a second set of windows associated with a different session. For example, the de-prioritization can result in the portion (e.g., a video-portion of a audio and video conference) being omitted or reduced. In another embodiment, in response to the AT entering a limited environment, objects being downloaded to the AT can be dynamically altered to conform with the AT's limited environment.

International Classification:

H04W 28/10

US Classification:

370230

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a communications device exchanges, between first and second access terminals, higher priority data in association with a communication session of a first type and also lower priority data in association with a communication session of a second type. If the communications device determines a transition of the first access terminal to a lower data-rate environment, the communication device reduces a size of data packets exchanged between the first access terminal and an application server for the communication session of the second type. If the communications device determines an upcoming data packet is a low-data packet (e.g., a silence packet), the low-data packet is suppressed. If the communications device determines that the first access terminal has attempted transmission of a set of last or near-last data packets in the sequence, the communications device re-transmits the set of last or near-last data packets without waiting for ACKs.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

In an embodiment, an access terminal includes at least first, second and third functional layers, whereby the first functional layer (e.g., a MAC layer) attempts to a data packet on behalf of the third functional layer (e.g., an application-layer) to an application server via a serving network. If the first functional layer receives an ACK that the serving network has received the data packet, the third functional layer is notified of the ACK. If the first functional layer determines the attempt to transmit the data packet to the serving network has failed, the third functional layer is notified of the transmission failure. In another embodiment, during set-up of a traffic channel (TCH) for a communication session, the access terminal transmits a message to the application server over a signaling port that includes both application-layer and transport-layer connection information to facilitate set-up of a data port for the communication session.

International Classification:

H04W 92/00
H04B 7/00

US Classification:

370338, 455507

Abstract:

Techniques for increasing throughput during a file sharing operation including a mobile device are provided. Throughput can be increased by reducing the number of times packets are retransmitted due to ACK signals being delayed due to the lossy nature of over-the-air transmissions.

Appl. No.:

13/014222

Inventors:

James Lin - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

G01N 30/02

US Classification:

436161, 422 681

Abstract:

A liquid specimen collecting and testing device has two chambers, a first for collecting a liquid specimen and a second for exposing a measured volume preliminary screening aliquot of the specimen to preliminary screening test strips. The first chamber has a catch basin of defined volume which is less than the sample volume. The basin is simultaneously sealed from the rest of the first chamber, thus separating and apportioning the measured volume preliminary screening aliquot from the collected volume. Simultaneously, an opening made leading from the basin to the second chamber initiating the preliminary screening test. Thus intermingling of a preliminary screening aliquot and a remainder aliquot is avoided.

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for payload adaptation for a mobile device based on a request from the mobile device include determining a communication connection characteristic of the request and obtaining one or more results to generate obtained results responsive to the request. The apparatus and methods further include customizing the obtained results to generate customized results based on the communication connection characteristic and transmitting the customized results to the mobile device.

Inventors:

James J. Lin - Plano TX

Assignee:

Atlantic Richfield Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G01R 138

US Classification:

181107

Abstract:

A method for determining the effective or apparent firing time of a seismic source. The seismic detectors positioned at known distances from the source, but outside the non-linear acoustic region, are used to detect arrivals of energy from the source. The arrival times and known distances are used to determine effective source firing time which is in turn used to calibrate the source for actual seismic operations.

US Classification:

370260

Abstract:

In an embodiment, an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) network that is operated by a single operator receives a request from a user equipment (UE) for registering to a group IMS session. The IMS network determines a location region where the UE is located and identifies a single application server deployed in the location region at which to register UEs that are located in the location region and request registration to the group IMS session. In another embodiment, an application server deployed in a first location region receives a request to register a UE to an IMS session from the IMS network. The application server selectively redirects the registration for the UE either to (i) an application server deployed in a second location region, or (ii) another application server deployed in the first location region.
