Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to providing location services in a wireless network. According to one implementation of the present invention, the wireless network infrastructure provides high-accuracy location information via location services to wireless clients. In one embodiment, during an advertisement phase, a location server provides a list of available location services to wireless clients via a central controller. In another embodiment, during a presentation phase, a driver of the wireless client presents the available location services to one or more applications of the wireless client. In another embodiment, during a request phase, the driver transmits a location service request to the central controller, which passes the location service request to the location server.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are discussed for approaches to transparent mobility, which attempts to permit a wireless station to be handed off between wireless access points without packet loss, without noticeable delay to the station user, and/or without loss of session continuity.
Abstract:
There is a disclosed a conduit supporting structure that imposes, maintains and/or reinforces a flow guiding formation of a conduit, whereby to effect a desired flow configuration in the conduit.
Abstract:
A method of communicating information in a computer system. First generate a send set. The send set includes a first type indicator. The first type indicator corresponds to a send object. Next, define a drag site as being associated with the send set. Register the drag site with a first exchange manager. Generate a receive set. The receive set includes the first type indicator. Define a drop site as being associated with the receive set. Register the drop site with a second exchange manager. Drag from the drag site to the drop site. Drop on the drop site. In response to the drop on the drop site, the second exchange manager requests an object corresponding to the first type indicator. The first exchange manager communicates the information, the information corresponding to the send object.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for aiding in providing views of multiple network devices in a network management application. The method can include the resizing of an view to allow for presentation of multiple views. The method includes the steps of displaying a first image of a network device in a first size; selecting a second size, the second size being different than the first size; and displaying a second image of said network device in a second size.
Abstract:
A sensor device for monitoring a component of interest, including at least one sensor for measuring at least one parameter indicative of condition of the component of interest, signal processing device for processing the signals of the sensor, and a mounting element for mounting the sensor device close to the component of interest. The mounting element can be made of a zinc alloy.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a receiver configured for receiving a response message from a tracked device in a wireless network, the response message transmitted in response to a provoking message having an identifier of the tracked device in a transmitter address field, and a processor for measuring at least one location related parameter, extracting the identifier of the tracked device from the response message and identifying the response message as a location tracking message based on information in the response message. A field of the response message includes the identifier of the tracked device copied from the provoking message and the transmitter address is not provided in another field of the response message.
Abstract:
A multicast delivery system facilitating power management. In particular implementations, a method includes maintaining in the memory a plurality of multicast stream queues, each multicast stream queue associated with a delivery interval; storing frames of respective multicast streams in a multicast stream queue based on a delivery interval associated with the multicast stream; and delivering multicast streams at respective delivery intervals to one or more wireless clients.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a wireless device is configured to associate with a first access point on a first frequency. The wireless device listens for a predefined frame, which may be sent by neighboring access points or other wireless devices. When the wireless device receives a signal comprising a predefined frame, the wireless device acquires a parameter, such as signal strength, for the signal. The wireless device sends the parameter for the signal to the first access point.
Abstract:
Technology generally directed to operation of loading dock equipment such as vehicle restraints, dock levelers, overhead doors/openers, barrier gates, lights, and linked or unlinked control systems is disclosed herein. The disclosed technology may be employed to power electrical loading dock systems from batteries and/or alternative power sources, including “green” power sources. For example, the technology may be employed at new, temporary, and/or mobile facilities having any number of loading docks where reliable commercial power may not be readily available. Further, the technology may also be employed at warehouses in remote and/or developing areas where electrical infrastructure is not available and/or reasonably priced. The technology may be embodied as methods, apparatuses, manufactures (e.g., computer- and/or processor-readable storage and/or other mediums), and/or the like.
