Oracle OTC Subsidiary Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 12 -- Oracle OTC Subsidiary, Redwood Shores, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,284,702) developed by Joseph Siegrist, Vienna, Va., for a "method and apparatus for the prevention of unwanted calls in a callback system."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "In one method and apparatus for blocking unwanted calls in a callback system, parameters associated with a callback request (e.g., the user device to which the call is to be directed, the IP address from which the request originated or an identifier of the source computer from which the callback request originated, the party from whom the call is requested) are tracked for each call. A decision to automatically block the requested callback is made based on one or more criteria based on a combination of these parameters, which may be a total over a period of time. In a second method, one or both of the parties to the callback is queried as to whether the callback is unwanted and, if so, one or more parameters associated with the request are blacklisted."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 9, 2010 (12/878,762). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,284,702&OS=8,284,702&RS=8,284,702

SkyBitz Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 12 -- SkyBitz, Herndon, Va., has been assigned a patent (8,284,629) developed by Rich Battista, Ashburn, Va., for a "wireless sensor interface with mobile terminal satellite modem and global location system."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A system and method for implementing a low-power local-area wireless network for use with a mobile terminal satellite modem. This low-power local-area wireless network enables sensors on an asset to wirelessly transmit sensor data to a mobile terminal affixed on the asset. The mobile terminal reports the sensor data along with asset position information to a centralized facility via a communications satellite."
The patent application was filed on March 1, 2011 (13/037,449). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,284,629&OS=8,284,629&RS=8,284,629

Sprint Spectrum Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 12 -- Sprint Spectrum, Overland Park, Kan., has been assigned a patent (8,284,773) developed by Samuel M. Woleben, Lenexa, Kan., Zheng Cai, Fairfax, Va., and Iris Zeng, Overland Park, Kan., for "advanced joining into multicast group to facilitate later communication among group members."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and system for establishing group multicast communication, such as PoC multicast communication. Multiple terminals will join a PoC multicast group automatically at some point before the underlying PoC session is being initiated and thus before there is any PoC content for a PoC server to multicast to the group members. Further, this joining process will occur without the PoC multicast channel being listed in the terminals' multicast channel listings. Thereafter, when one of the terminals opts to initiate the PoC session and thus signals to the PoC server, the server will cause the participating terminals to tune to the associated PoC multicast channel for the PoC multicast group that the terminals had already joined. The invention thereby helps to effectively randomize the timing of join-signaling by the various terminals and thus helps to conserve network resources."
The patent application was filed on Nov. 1, 2007 (11/933,859). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,284,773&OS=8,284,773&RS=8,284,773

Moog Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 12 -- Moog, East Aurora, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,283,993) developed by Donnie S. Coleman, Dublin, Va., for a broadband twist capsules.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A twist capsule (10) broadly includes: a flexible tape (13), and a pre-emphasis circuit (11) operatively associated with said tape to compensate for attenuation of high-frequency digital waveform constituents attributable to skin effect and/or dielectric loss, such that the operational bandwidth of signal transmitted over said tape may be increased. An equalization circuit (14) may be arranged at the output end of the tape to further extend the operational bandwidth."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 18, 2008 (12/449,757). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,283,993&OS=8,283,993&RS=8,283,993

HPEV Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 12 -- HPEV, Wesley Chapel, Fla., has been assigned a patent (8,283,818) developed by Timothy Hassett, Santa Rosa, Calif., and Mark Hodowanec, Leesburg, Va., for an "electric motor with heat pipes."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A motor that includes a motor portion structured to house a stator and a rotor mounted to a shaft of the motor. The motor additionally includes a cooling portion disposed adjacent to the motor portion and separated from the motor portion by a structural interface. The cooling portion provides a cooling chamber structured to have a cooling fluid passed therethrough via a cooling fluid moving device that is structured to be coupled to and driven by the motor shaft. Furthermore, the motor includes a plurality of heat pipes having evaporator ends disposed within the motor portion and condenser ends disposed within the cooling chamber. During operation of the motor and cooling fluid moving device, the cooling fluid contacts the heat pipe condenser ends to extract heat from the condenser ends, hence cooling the evaporator ends of the heat pipes, thereby cooling the motor portion of the motor and the stator and rotor housed therein."
The patent application was filed on July 31, 2009 (12/533,236). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,283,818&OS=8,283,818&RS=8,283,818
