US Patent:

8396484, Mar 12, 2013

Filed:

Aug 15, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/192975

Inventors:

Roderick Michael Johnson - Scottsdale AZ, US
Brad Scheurman - Calgary, CA
Dane Blackwell - Calgary, CA
Ryan Scott Jones - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

CorTxt, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554561, 4554562, 4554563, 4554564, 4554565, 4554566

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products for determining a location of a device based on location information are described. In some implementations, location assist information may be requested so as to determine a location of sufficient quality to satisfy a requesting application. Upon receiving the location assist information, empherides from one or more visible sources may be requested. The location assist information may be used to determine the location of the device until the device has received and decoded the empherides.

Assignee:

CORTXT, INC. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04W 64/00

US Classification:

4554563

Abstract:

Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided to harness massively distributed, but locally available location, application usage, device usage, network and overall Radio Frequency (RF) systems awareness, processing, memory and connectivity from mobile devices in a manner which would broadly characterize the environments these mobile devices operate within given the capabilities of each type of mobile device to contribute information about its local environment.

Appl. No.:

17/454030

Inventors:

Ryan Bower Jones - Carlsbad CA, US

International Classification:

B08B 1/00
H02S 50/10
H02S 40/10
H02S 50/00
B08B 13/00

Abstract:

A solar panel cleaning system includes: an automated cleaning device for cleaning a surface of a reference cell panel; a cleaning device controller in communication with a motor of the automated cleaning device, the cleaning device controller configured to receive a signal corresponding to measurement of a current of photovoltaic system. The cleaning device controller activates the automated cleaning device to clean a surface of the reference cell panel when the received signal indicates that a measurement of the current of the photovoltaic system is to be taken.

International Classification:

H02S 50/10
H02S 40/10
G01R 31/02
B08B 1/00

Abstract:

A solar panel monitoring system for a photovoltaic system includes: a soil monitoring panel including a plurality of arranged photovoltaic cells; a reference cell panel located in proximity to the soil monitoring panel, the reference cell panel including one or more photovoltaic cells; an automated cleaning system located on the reference cell panel for protecting a surface of the reference cell panel, the automated cleaning system including a cleaning system controller; and a measurement unit in electrical communication with one or more of the photovoltaic cells of the soil monitoring panel and one or more photovoltaic cells of the reference cell panel for measuring a short circuit current of the one or more photovoltaic cells of the soil monitoring panel and the one or more photovoltaic cells of the reference cell panel. When the cleaning system controller activates the automated cleaning system to clean and reveal the surface of the reference cell panel before the measurement unit measures a short circuit current of the one or more photovoltaic cells of the reference cell panel.

Inventors:

Ryan Bower Jones - Carlsbad CA, US

International Classification:

H02S 50/00
G01R 31/40
G01N 21/94

Abstract:

A solar panel soiling monitoring system is provided for measuring soiling losses on a photo-voltaic system. The solar panel monitoring system includes: a soil monitoring panel including a plurality of arranged photovoltaic cells connected in series to one another; a measurement unit in electronic communication with a switchbox for controlling measurements of each of the photovoltaic cells; a communication unit in electronic communication with the measurement unit; and a data storage system in electronic communication with the communication unit including a processor, a computer readable storage medium, and one or more computer programs operable on the data storage system. The data storage system determines soiling conditions of the soil monitoring panel based on measured short circuit currents of each of the plurality of photovoltaic cells of the soil monitoring panels.

US Classification:

4554141

Abstract:

Methods and systems for more efficiently providing telecommunications services are provided. A menu of options may be presented to a user upon detecting that the user has attempted to connect a call to a recipient. If the user selects an option before a predetermined amount of time has elapsed, the actions associated with that option may be performed instead of setting up a call between the user and the recipient. If the predetermined amount of time elapses without the user making a selection of an option or if the user has explicitly indicated a desire to establish the call, the call may be established
