| 20100013635 | LOCKING SYSTEM FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER INCLUDING BOLT SEAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH ARMS FOR RECEIVING BOLT SEAL - An electronic locking device secures a shipping container and includes a housing, two arms, a sensing circuit, and electronics. The pair of arms extend from the housing and couple to the hasp. The arms transition between locked and unlocked configurations relative to the hasp, with one or both of the arms pivoting relative to the other. A bolt seal locks the arms in the locked configuration. The sensing circuit, which includes sensing contacts, is in a “closed” state or “open” state depending on whether the arms are in the locked or unlocked configuration. The electronics record and report the state of the sensing circuit, thereby indicating whether the arms are locked or unlocked. | 01-21-2010 |

Each wireless node of the plurality of wireless nodes is associated with an emergency services sector resource, and is configured to communicate information regarding the emergency services sector resource to the user application via the wireless communications device. The user device is configured to display information regarding the emergency services sector resource from the user application. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100145865 | MANAGING AND SECURING CONSTRUCTION AND RENTAL EQUIPMENT - RSNs are attached to equipment at construction sites. Gateways located and construction sites. A rental company uses presence data to know in real-time which of multiple yards specific equipment is located for meeting customer needs. At a renter's construction site, a gateway receives engine-hours data from RSNs associated with rental equipment and reports to the rental company, which uses the data to determine whether contract limits on use are exceeded and/or whether the equipment is abused. For sites not having a gateway, a truck-mounted gateway is used to periodically visit and collect data from the RSNs at each site. The data collected is sent to the rental company via cellular link. A construction company uses the system to track and monitor its own equipment in storage yards and on construction sites. Classes are assigned such that a rental company sees only the rented equipment. RSNs send theft and vandalism alarms. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100150122 | MANAGING AND MONITORING EMERGENCY SERVICES SECTOR RESOURCES - A system includes one or more wireless islands, one or more incident management applications, and one or more message management and routing (MMR) systems. Each MMR systems is configured to act as an intermediary for communication between one of the wireless islands and one or more of the incident management applications. One of the wireless islands includes a radio network. The radio network includes a plurality of remote sensor nodes (RSNs), and a gateway controller. An RSN of the plurality of RSNs is worn by ESS personnel, the gateway controller is mounted to an ESS vehicle, and the RSN is configured to wirelessly communicate with the gateway controller. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20090112878 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING AND BACKING UP USER DEVICE CONTENT - Methods, systems and computer program products facilitate intelligent, automatic selection of content on consumer electronic devices to be backed up. User-defined rules selectively and automatically back up content and/or metadata about the content to a network, to another external device, or to an internal chip or memory. Via a user-friendly interface, users can initially set up rules for content backup, and thereafter, content backup can occur automatically. Stored back up content can be replicated on a device, for example, when the content has become corrupted on the device, when the content is lost, and/or when the CPE device crashes. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100128664 | CELL-TO-WIFI SWITCHER - Systems and methods that enable a user to seamlessly switch between networks and/or devices, during a content delivery session. The system comprises a network change detection component that can determine when the user switches from one network to another. Further, a context management component is employed that stores a context state of the content delivery session on the first network when a change in network is detected. The context state is employed to seamlessly resume content delivery on the newly connected network and continue the content delivery session. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110296466 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-NETWORK PROGRAM RETRIEVAL - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, network device having a controller programmed to transmit requests on a primary network for a program recording corresponding to a program on at least one of the plurality of Electronic Program Guides (EPGs) where the EPGs are retrieved from a plurality of network sources including a plurality of remote network sources unaffiliated with the primary network and receive the requested program recording. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 12-01-2011 |
