摘要： Methods and apparatuses of planning a wireless local area network are disclosed. Various embodiments receive data such as floor plan data, coverage data, and/or capacity data about a site for the WLAN. Based on such data, features of the WLAN access points can be determined. Examples are the quantity, placement, and/or configuration of the access points. Measured data, such as WLAN data, are received. The measured data are compared with expected data, such as expected WLAN data. Expected WLAN data can be generated from various sources, for example floor plan data and access point data (e.g., quantity, placement, and/or configuration). Based on such measured data, WLAN features can be changed, such as floor plan and/or access point data (e.g., quantity, placement, and/or configuration).

摘要： A method and apparatus for communicating information. In particular, a method of communicating data between a plurality of applications, comprising the following steps. A first list is encoded. The first encoded list includes a first set of data objects. Each of the data objects includes data to be communicated. Next, the first encoded list is transmitted to a first of the plurality of applications and decoded for the first application. The first application accesses a first subset of data objects from the first encoded list. The first subset of data objects does not necessarily include all data objects in the first set of data objects. Next, the first application generates a second encoded list, where the second encoded list corresponds to the first encoded list. Then, the first application causes the second encoded list to be transmitted to a second application and decoded for the second application. The second application then accesses a second subset of data objects corresponding to the second encoded list, the second subset of data objects not necessarily including the same data objects in the first subset of data objects. The first application and the second of the plurality of applications exchange data type information for the second subset of data objects corresponding to the second encoded list.

摘要： An intermediate bearing assembly that is mountable on a pedestal of a marine vessel that incorporates an integrated alignment system. In particular, the bearing assembly includes a housing for receiving a portion of a shaft; and a lifting and lowering system attached between the housing and the pedestal for providing a concentrated applied force at approximately the center vertical axis of the housing. The lifting and lowering system includes four hydraulic jacks located equidistant from the center vertical axis of the housing. Hydraulic pressure is related through the area of the jack cylinders to radial force. As a result, when a predetermined jacking force is achieved, the correct radial force loading on the bearing is attained. Each of the jacks is free to seek a position of extension independent of the others. The jacks are then locked into a secure hold position to maintain the shaft in alignment. If at any time during the vessels duty the shaft becomes misaligned the jacks are unlocked and hydraulic pressure is either reduced or increased to level the shaft and the jacks are then locked into the new holding position. This operation can be repeated as many times as required during the vessel's life without the cost of expensive traditional chocking procedures.

摘要： In one embodiment, wireless access point management is optimized. The data bandwidth and/or processing requirements for data indicating operation of the access point is baselined. For example, air quality or interference measurements are made at the access point on a regular basis. The interference measurements over one or more periods, such as one period of 24 hours, provide a baseline. Rather than transmitting and processing the subsequent measurements that are normal or within the baseline, a lack of information or data requiring less bandwidth than the measurements communicates to a controller or server that the measurements are normal or within the baseline.

摘要： 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.
