    Abstract: A process for determining the location of entities carrying transmitters (TXs) that transmit TX ID messages to at least one receiver (RX) connected to a computer, in a network of computers. Each RX sends data messages to its associated computer which includes an identifier identifying the TX transmitting the TX ID message, the signal strength of the received TX ID message, and a RX identifier. Each RX computer generates badge hit messages from each data message, and provides them to a centralized computer of the network. The centralized computer generates a badge hit table having a separate entry for each badge hit message, which has fields including the information received in the badge hit message and a hit time indicating the time the entry was added to the table. The badge hit table data is used to determining the location of the TXs, and so the entities.

    Abstract: Acoustic emissions are detected by reflecting microwave radar signals off of an object, receiving reflected radar signals, generating an intermediate frequency, and filtering the intermediate frequency to remove low frequency signals associated with object movement and not acoustic emissions. A microwave Doppler radar detector provides the signals, a band-pass filter filters the intermediate frequency signal, and resulting signal is collected and analyzed to establish a relationship between the acoustic emission and the filtered signal. One application described is detecting tool wear using a microwave Doppler-based acoustic emission sensor and predicting tool wear based on the detected acoustic emission.

    Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for detecting position errors in robotic motion According to the method, a Doppler motion detector unit is placed proximate a critical position of a robot. Signals from the Doppler motion detector unit are monitored. Robot position errors are detected in the robot at least partially based on the signals from the Doppler motion detector unit. The industrial robot can be halted upon detection of an error and/or an alarm signal can be activated. The system includes the robot, the detector with a low-pass filter and a control system operatively connected to the detector and low-pass filter.

    Abstract: A process for measuring the location of people and objects carrying radio frequency (RF) transmitters (TXs) that transmit messages to a plurality of RF receivers (RXs) located in a space. Each RX is in communication with a computer of a computer network and forwards data received from the TXs to the network via its associated computer, along with a value indicating the signal strength of the received TX transmission. The signal strengths attributable to the same transmission are used to form a locating signal strength vector which is then compared to exemplary vectors generated from signal strength readings gathered in a calibration procedure from a set of representative locations in the space. In comparing the locating vector to the exemplary vectors, constraints are enforced on movements between locations (e.g., cannot pass through walls) and to probabilistically enforce expectations on transitions between locations.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to providing a communication interface in a network appliance that enables a software update for the network appliance to be securely and wirelessly provided by a mobile node over a relatively limited (short) distance with a mobile node. The operator of the mobile node is authenticated and communication between the network appliance and the mobile node is encrypted. Even if an unauthorized person was able to be positioned in relatively close proximity to a network appliance such as within the physical confines of a data center, these authentication and encryption measures make it difficult for an unauthorized update to be provided to the network appliance. Updating the software for a network appliance can include one or more actions including, but not limited to, deleting existing files, rebooting, uploading new files, such as binaries, scripts, JAVA applications, and the like.
