I have a feeling there are some interesting things amongst these 2,996 patents filed by Harris Corporation, the maker of the Stingray and other IMSI catchers: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=an%2F%22harris+corporation%22%0D%0A&d=PTXT
For example, @USPTO (Jul 1) - "#8,768,311 - Intelligent asymmetric service denial system for mobile cellular devices and associated methods": http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=22&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PTXT&S1=(%22harris+corporation%22.ASNM.)&OS=an/%22harris+corporation%22&RS=AN/%22harris+corporation%22 > The system and method prevents reception of calls to a mobile cellular device > within a relatively small area or zone, with minimal inconvenience to the > public by also permitting outgoing transmissions. The mobile cellular device > has a wirelessly settable parameter associated therewith enabling > establishment of an inbound call. A selective call blocker includes a > receiver, a transmitter, and a selective call blocking controller cooperating > with the receiver to determine the wirelessly settable parameter. The > selective call blocking controller also cooperates with the transmitter to > wirelessly change the wirelessly settable parameter to selectively block an > inbound call to the mobile cellular device and without defeating the > capability of the mobile cellular device to establish an outbound call. Harris Corporation is a sprawling defense contractor also dabbling in hydrocarbons, so many of these patents will not be germane for the list. Please share what you find that seems relevant to the on-going conversation re: IMSI catchers... gf -- Gregory Foster || [email protected] @gregoryfoster <> http://entersection.com/
