Described herein is an apparatus comprising a location-awareness determination circuit configured to determine a location of the apparatus; at least one processor configured to determine at least one contextual factor of the apparatus including a type identifier of the determined location; an app-management facilitator configured to activate at least one mobile application ('app') that is associated with the determined location of the apparatus based, at least in part, upon the determined at least one contextual factor; and deactivate at least one of the selected apps on the apparatus when the apparatus exits the location, based on the determined at least one contextual factor of the apparatus.

Location-aware mobile application management

Apparatus, systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for tracking a trajectory by rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are described herein. An example trajectory tracking controller includes an altitude controller to calculate an output value of a thrust control variable based on a trajectory of a rotorcraft independent of one or more system parameters of the rotorcraft. The example trajectory tracking controller also includes an attitude controller to calculate output values of roll, pitch, and yaw control variables based on the trajectory independent of the one or more of the system parameters. The example trajectory tracking controller further includes a motor speed selector to select speeds for propeller motors of the rotorcraft based on the output values of the thrust, roll, pitch, and yaw control variables and activate the propeller motors based on the selected motor speeds.

Trajectory tracking controllers for rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS)

Described herein are techniques related to preventing dropped cellular phone calls through predicting the behavior of cell phones along a route traveled by a mobile device. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope and meaning of the claims.

Preventing dropped calls through behavior prediction

Described herein are techniques related to managing mobile applications ('apps') of a mobile device based, at least in part, upon the determined location of the device. The techniques described herein are especially suited for situations where the present location differs from the locations associated with particular apps that are already installed on the mobile device. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Embodiments disclosed herein include methods, apparatus, and system architectures for using GPS within wireless networks to assist with wireless network management including handovers and data transfers, along with navigation decisions within heterogeneous networks.

GPS assisted network administration

Transmitting data on a serial data transmission path to reduce latency including reading only enough of a device address of a serial data word to determine if the serial data word is addressed to a first device having an address, wherein the serial data word is transmitted across a first link of a first serial data transmission path to the first device and passing the serial data word across a second link of the first serial data transmission path to a second device if the serial data word is not addressed to the first device.
