Abstract:
The versatility provided by network nodes in accordance with the present invention allows the formation of networks using different types of links, links with differing bandwidth, data rates, and bit error rates, as well as both asymmetric and symmetric links. For example, a network can include a first network node coupled to a second network node with a wireless link. The network can include a third network node coupled to the second network node an optical link and coupled to the first network node by a wireless link. A fourth network node can be easily inserted between the third network node and the third network node using wireless links. The optical link between the second and third network nodes can operate at one bandwidth and the various wireless links would operate at other bandwidths depending on the environmental conditions between each pair of nodes.
Abstract:
A system and method of monitoring zones for alarm conditions and automatically alerting individuals in a plurality of zones about the safety of a particular zone is provided. The method includes providing a site map of a predefined area, configuring a plurality of zones in the predefined area, receiving ambient condition data and location data from a plurality of wireless devices located in the predefined area, computing an alarm level for each zone in the plurality of zones based on the received ambient condition data and location data, and transmitting alert notifications to the plurality of wireless devices. The alert notification sent to each wireless device is based on the computed alarm level of the zone in which that wireless device is located relative to the computed alarm level of the other zones in the plurality of zones.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a multi-specific fusion protein composed of a CD86 antagonist binding domain and another binding domain that is an IL-10 agonist, an HLA-G agonist, an HGF agonist, an IL-35 agonist, a PD-1 agonist, a BTLA agonist, a LIGHT antagonist, a GITRL antagonist or a CD40 antagonist.

Abstract:
To more fully utilize the available bandwidth of a network link, network nodes in accordance with the present invention allow TDM data to be combined with packet data. A Packet/TDM cross connect switch, having both a TDM switch and a packet switch, is used in these embodiments. Data packets are transformed into TDM packet columns. The TDM packet columns are combined with standard TDM data columns in the payload of a TDM data frame. Data packets may be sorted based on a priority scheme, in which high priority data packets are given precedence over lower priority data. However, both high priority and low priority may be combined in a TDM packet column.
Abstract:
To provide the quality and reliability of a fiber optic link over a wireless link, network nodes in accordance with the present invention include a link quality management unit, which controls multiple transmission parameters of a wireless interface in response variable link conditions. For example, the link quality management unit of one embodiment of the present invention controls transmission power, modulation, and error correction. In general, a receiving network node provides feedback to a transmitting network node. Thus, in many embodiments of the present invention, the link quality management unit includes a signal quality detector, which measures a signal quality value, such as bit error rate, signal to noise ratio, or error vector magnitude. The measured signal quality is transmitted back to the transmitting node so that appropriate changes can be made to the transmission parameters.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring a gas leakage incident in an industrial facility comprises a local area network, and a plurality of closed-circuit television cameras operatively connected to the local area network. The closed-circuit television cameras are positioned to provide video images of plural areas in a facility, with a central station operatively connected to the network for receiving video images from the television cameras. As plurality of gas detectors positioned in plural areas of the facility are operatively connected to the local area network, with each gas detector being operable to provide a signal which indicates occurrence of a gas leakage incident. Real-time monitoring of one or more gas-leakage incidents facilitates efficient evacuation of operating personnel, with the system preferably configured to automatically direct one or more of the closed-circuit television cameras to the area from which a gas leakage signal originates.
