20120331540 | Authentication and authorization method for tasking in profile-based data collection - An apparatus and a new method of authentication and authorization of tasking requests to data collection agents on wireless devices directly makes use of public key cryptography, rather than depending on domain-name-based authenticated using the standard HTTPS chain-of-trust: A set of digital credentials is stored in the device's secure credential store. These credentials include at least one “supertasking authority” credential, as well as one or more normal “tasking authority” credentials. Profiles are only accepted by the agent if they are signed by a trusted tasking authority credential. Supertasking authority credentials thus serve as credential authorities (CAs) for tasking authority credentials. | 12-27-2012 |
20140181505 | Unified Mobile Security System and Method of Operation - A mobile secure agent on a wireless device executes one or more authenticated data collection profiles provisioned by a private profile producer. Each data package can only be transmitted to a collector certificated by the same private profile producer. Update profiles are signed and provisioned through a tunnel initiated from the mobile secure agent. A Certificate Authority provides libraries, anchors, and certificates in a key management message module to each mobile secure agent which enables revocation and replacement of certificates. Data stored in this way on a wireless device may only be transmitted in encrypted form to an authenticated destination. | 06-26-2014 |
20140244516 | Mobile Wireless Customer Micro-Care Apparatus and Method - Measurements are taken at each mobile wireless device and aggregated to establish norms. The transformations are suitable for a massively parallel array of processors using map-reduce computing. Upon demand, equivalent measurements for individual mobile wireless devices may be computed for comparable multidimensional analysis. The same transformations may be applied in a silo of processors chained by memory locations feeding data driven processes. Analysis of variance from norms can isolate potential causes of customer dissatisfaction. Detailed and immediate issue resolution and remedies may save support costs and increase subscriber revenue. Identical transformations applied to an individual device as well as across the entire comparable population of devices enables reactive care to a customer incident. | 08-28-2014 |
20140244517 | Incremental Batch Method for Transforming Event-driven Metrics and Measures within a Map/Reduce Data Center - A method for a plurality of processors configured to perform steps in a map/reduce network operation adds incremental batch transformation of sequential measures recorded by time periods and uploaded asynchronously from their capture on mobile devices. The method creates and tracks measure states for each measure. The current recurrence of a measure is a transformation of selected past recurrences and measures. Measure state is propagated according to rules. The ID for a current measure is derived from the IDs of its cache measures and the IDs of its trigger measures. A batch incremental enrichment transforms one or more measures from one or more recurrences into at least one output measure that may be transformed again by the same or another batch incremental enrichment. The apparatus determines if the value needs to be overwritten with a newer value by the type of transformation, the recurrence id and the state. | 08-28-2014 |
20150178477 | Data Collection Privacy Agent to Ensure, Absent an Agreement, that Only Public Standards are Collected, and to Package Private Data Exclusively for Intended Recipients - A system protects a mobile wireless device owner/user who has entered into a private data collection agreement with a service provider or subscribed as a survey participant. The system enables each survey or service to define a profile, which contains triggers, data to be collected, conditions to package it, and targets to receive packages. Embedded within the user's device, a data collection privacy agent verifies the owner/user's permission for each profile. When a permitted privacy agent is triggered, it stores the data to be collected upon each specific trigger condition or event. Upon determining a condition to package collected data, the permitted privacy agent compiles a package containing only the data related to a permitted profile sourced from an authenticated survey or service, encrypts it, transmits the encrypted package to a target defined within the profile, and reallocates any storage space which is no longer needed. | 06-25-2015 |
20150312254 | Concurrent, Diverse Party Multi-processor Wireless Quality Metric Collection Circuits and Method of Operation - A system includes a bidirectional signal bus controlled by an M×S master/slave bridge circuit. An application processor having at least one core is communicatively coupled by the bidirectional signal bus to a radio processor having at least one virtual machine. The core hosts a master agent. The virtual machine hosts a slave agent. Each master agent is coupled to a collector server by an authenticated connection circuit to receive and store profiles and build and transmit packages. Each master agent is coupled to at least one slave agent and can transmit a profile to the slave agent and request and receive packages which are generated by the slave agent by executing the profile. Each slave agent receives and executes profiles to collect data from radio circuits and upon command builds and transmits data packages to a master agent. | 10-29-2015 |
20160007198 | Credibility Token System for Over The Air Multi-programming of a Wireless Device and Method of Operation - A mobile secure agent on a wireless device executes co-resident authenticated data collection profiles provisioned by private profile producers. Each wireless device has a MAC address that is transformed into a credibility token which is included in a notification to execute or update a data collection profile. The credibility token may also include attributes of location current or stored data. Each wireless device retains location history data transformed by encryption or by hashing. Each data package can only be transmitted to a collector certificated by the same private profile producer. Update profiles are signed and provisioned through a tunnel initiated from the mobile secure agent. A Certificate Authority provides libraries, anchors, and certificates in a key management message module to each mobile secure agent which enables revocation and replacement of certificates. Data stored in this way may only be transmitted to one destination per profile. | 01-07-2016 |

20090275163 | System and Method of Encapsulation - Embodiments discussed herein generally include methods of fabricating MEMS devices within a structure. The MEMS device may be formed in a cavity above the structure, and additional metallization may occur above the MEMS device. The cavity may be formed by depositing an encapsulating layer over the sacrificial layers that enclose the MEMS device. The encapsulating layer may then be etched to expose portions of the sacrificial layers. The sacrificial layers are exposed because they extend through the sidewalls of the encapsulating layer. Therefore, no release holes are etched through the top of the encapsulating layer. An etchant then removes the sacrificial layers to free the MEMS device and form the cavity and an opening through the sidewall of the encapsulating layer. Another encapsulating layer may then be deposited to seal the cavity and the opening. | 11-05-2009 |
20100181631 | FABRICATION OF MEMS BASED CANTILEVER SWITCHES BY EMPLOYING A SPLIT LAYER CANTILEVER DEPOSITION SCHEME - Embodiments discussed herein generally disclose novel alternative methods that can be employed to overcome the gradient stress formed in refractory materials to be used for thin film MEMS cantilever switches.

20110212593 | CMP Process Flow for MEMS - The present invention generally relates to the formation of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) cantilever switch in a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) back end of the line (BEOL) process. The cantilever switch is formed in electrical communication with a lower electrode in the structure. The lower electrode may be either blanket deposited and patterned or simply deposited in vias or trenches of the underlying structure. The excess material used for the lower electrode is then planarized by chemical mechanical polishing or planarization (CMP). The cantilever switch is then formed over the planarized lower electrode. | 09-01-2011 |
20120181638 | METHOD FOR MEMS DEVICE FABRICATION AND DEVICE FORMED - The present invention generally relates to methods for producing MEMS or NEMS devices and the devices themselves. A thin layer of a material having a lower recombination coefficient as compared to the cantilever structure may be deposited over the cantilever structure, the RF electrode and the pull-off electrode. The thin layer permits the etching gas introduced to the cavity to decrease the overall etchant recombination rate within the cavity and thus, increase the etching rate of the sacrificial material within the cavity. The etchant itself may be introduced through an opening in the encapsulating layer that is linearly aligned with the anchor portion of the cantilever structure so that the topmost layer of sacrificial material is etched first. Thereafter, sealing material may seal the cavity and extend into the cavity all the way to the anchor portion to provide additional strength to the anchor portion. | 07-19-2012 |
20130032453 | ELIMINATION OF SILICON RESIDUES FROM MEMS CAVITY FLOOR - The present invention generally relates to a MEMS device in which silicon residues from the adhesion promoter material are reduced or even eliminated from the cavity floor. The adhesion promoter is typically used to adhere sacrificial material to material above the substrate. The adhesion promoter is the removed along with then sacrificial material. However, the adhesion promoter leaves silicon based residues within the cavity upon removal. The inventors have discovered that the adhesion promoter can be removed from the cavity area prior to depositing the sacrificial material. The adhesion promoter which remains over the remainder of the substrate is sufficient to adhere the sacrificial material to the substrate without fear of the sacrificial material delaminating. Because no adhesion promoter is used in the cavity area of the device, no silicon residues will be present within the cavity after the switching element of the MEMS device is freed. | 02-07-2013 |
20130299926 | METHOD FOR MEMS DEVICE FABRICATION AND DEVICE FORMED - The present invention generally relates to methods for producing MEMS or NEMS devices and the devices themselves.
