摘要： A glass assembly for a dwelling having a first pane and a second pane integrated together with at least one spacer for encapsulating an inert gas forming an insulated glass unit. The first and second panes define an outer periphery and an internal periphery. The internal periphery defines a pet channel and the two panes have openings for receiving a pet door. A pet is enabled to pass from one side of the glass assembly, through the glass assembly, and exiting on the other side of the glass assembly while the inert gas is maintained within the insulated glass unit.

摘要： A system for setting WLAN node operating parameters includes at least one access point (AP) radio and a plurality of nodes in wireless communication with the AP radio according to media access control (MAC) parameters. Each of the plurality of nodes has a quality of service (QoS) threshold for wireless communication with the AP radio that is a function of the MAC parameters and includes a controller configured to provide individualized control of the MAC parameters. The controller is programmed to measure current settings for at least a portion of the MAC parameters for the node, input the current settings for those MAC parameters of the node into a WLAN system model to generate a system model output, and adapt a setting of at least one of the MAC parameters for the node to meet the QoS threshold for the node based on the system model output.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining the attenuation of an RF signal caused by a DPF at an unknown or different ambient temperature than the temperature used for DPF sensor calibration is disclosed. The method and apparatus determine the sensor attenuation just prior to determining the DPF attenuation by disconnecting the antennas and determining the attenuation of a loopback path. This sensor attenuation can then be deducted from the attenuation determined for the normal path that includes the attenuation caused by the loopback path, the cables, and the DPF. This method compensates for variation in the attenuation of the sensor caused by changes in ambient temperature of the sensor. Further temperature compensation is be achieved by determining additional factors to account for variations caused by changes in ambient temperature.

摘要： Methodologies for determining one or more staged topologies for a communication network, communication networks implementing one or more staged topologies, and systems for determining one or more staged topologies for a communication network are provided. In one embodiment, a method of determining a staged topology for a wireless communication network including a plurality of nodes includes identifying a plurality of topologies comprising different subsets of available communication links among the nodes, establishing the beaming capabilities at each node, selecting a subset of the identified topologies meeting the beaming capabilities of each node, associating a connection matrix with each identified topology in the subset of topologies, establishing one or more sequences of topologies using the identified topologies in the subset of topologies, multiplying the connection matrices associated with the topologies in each sequence of topologies to obtain a sequenced connection matrix corresponding with each sequence of topologies, multiplying each sequenced connection matrix by a weighting matrix to obtain a total cost matrix corresponding with each sequence of topologies, and selecting one of the sequences of topologies as the staged topology based on the total cost matrices corresponding with each sequence of topologies.
