20160111114 | Self-Cleaning Recording Heads Based On Actuator Seek Profile - Cleaning a recording head slider in-drive during operation is accomplished by periodically performing a series of full stroke seek operations, whereby liquid contaminants that may have migrated to the head slider are flung from the slider and liquid from the disk surface may be adsorbed onto the slider for removal by way of flinging. Consequently, head-disk spacing may be stabilized and data write operations improved. Furthermore, the series of full stroke seek operations may be performed at predetermined intervals, and for a predetermined period of time. However, the series may be interrupted by a client request, and continued thereafter, so as not to affect the operational status of the recording system. | 04-21-2016 |

20120195275 | Methods and Systems for Improving Session Establishment with Wireless Communication Devices - Methods and systems for reducing the latency of instant communication session establishment are presented. According to various preferred embodiments, a RAN, may receive a setup request message via a packet-switched network. The RAN may determine, from a quality of service (QOS) indication contained in the setup request message, that the setup request message is requesting establishment of a instant communication session. The RAN may further determine an intended destination wireless communication device (WCD) for the setup request message. Based on the QOS indication and/or a profile indicating the destination WCD's capabilities, the RAN may pre-allocate resources for the instant communication session in parallel to paging the destination WCD. In this way, the latencies associated with these procedures are overlapped, thus reducing the overall latency of instant communication session establishment. | 08-02-2012 |

20140213262 | Management of Radio Connection Assignment in Coverage Area Correlated with Geographic Region - A method, apparatus, and system for helping to manage advanced handoff to a coverage area based on correlation with a geographic region. A mobile station determines that it is in or approaching a defined geographic region, and the mobile station determines from correlation data that the geographic region is correlated with a particular cellular coverage area. The mobile station therefore requests handoff to the cellular coverage area and provides an advanced-handoff indication to cause the serving radio access network to maintain assignment of a radio connection in the coverage area longer than the network would normally, to help allow time for the mobile station to arrive at the coverage area and begin communicating on the radio connection with the network. | 07-31-2014 |
20150071166 | NETWORK SELECTION SUPPORT FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - In an LTE network, an MME processes network status information to transfer aggregated data to an ANDSF.

The ANDSF transfers the information response for delivery to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device processes the information response to select between the LTE network and a non-LTE network at the device location. | 03-12-2015 |
