Abstract:
The present invention provides a communications system, node and method of operation for forming a wireless network from independently operating nodes that have the ability to self-synchronize with each other, independently determine master and slave modes of operation to cooperate as a network, and independently vary those functions to adjust to changes in the network.
Abstract:
A distributed wireless sensor network includes two or more wireless nodes adapted for sensing a condition at any first node, first programming located within each node for transmitting a signal representing the sensed condition from the first node to another node, second programming located within each node for receiving the signal transmitted from any other node and for retransmitting a received signal representing the sensed condition along with additional data indicating the number of retransmissions of the signal between nodes.
Abstract:
An embodiment includes an oscillator comprising an amplifier formed on a substrate; a multiple gate resonant channel array, formed on the substrate, including: (a) transistors including fins, each of the fins having a channel between source and drain nodes, coupled to common source and drain contacts; and (b) common first and second tri-gates coupled to each of the fins and located between the source and drain contacts; wherein the fins mechanically resonate at a first frequency when one of the first and second tri-gates is periodically activated to produce periodic downward forces on the fins. Other embodiments include a non planar transistor with a channel between the source and drain nodes and a tri-gate on the fin; wherein the fin mechanically resonates when the first tri-gate is periodically activated to produce periodic downward forces on the fin. Other embodiments are described herein.
