| 20120027010 | ALARM SYSTEM IP NETWORK WITH PSTN OUTPUT - Alarm customers on VoIP may use an adapter for conversion to Internet Protocol (IP) signals or may have an alarm system that uses IP signals to transmit alarm signals over the Internet. IP signals from alarm customers may go to any monitoring center for alarm system monitoring. IP signals from alarm systems using IP conversion equipment can go only to monitoring centers with specialized receiving equipment specific to the type of transmitting equipment in use at the customer's premises. There is a pool of customers, whose dealers would convert to IP and stay with the current monitoring center if the center invested in receiving equipment. For the many small centers who will not or cannot invest in receiving equipment, the present invention will take IP signals from any or all brands of IP transmitting equipment, to a central server then retransmit to any center over POTS to the alarm monitoring center. Thus, an alarm monitoring center need not invest in a number of different IP monitoring systems in order to be IP monitoring compliant. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20100277271 | ALARM SYSTEM FOR USE OVER SATELLITE BROADBAND - The present invention allows an alarm monitoring to use satellite broadband services as a data link for communication between an alarms system and a monitoring station, middleware provider, individual user, or other alarm monitor. Standard alarm system protocols are modified to make the communication protocol compatible with the features of satellite broadband. These modifications compensate for the time delay in data transmission inherent in satellite communications, as well as other limitations of satellite communications. In particular, the “handshake” tone, instead of “1400 hz for 100 ms, silence for 100 ms, 2300 hz for 100 ms”, is changed to “DTMF ‘A’ for at least 100 milliseconds”. In a preferred embodiment the receiver transmits the DTMF A tone for 250 milliseconds. In addition, the delay for “wait for the Acknowledge tone” is extended from 1.25 seconds, to 5 seconds. The “acknowledge” tone, instead of “1400 hz for 400 ms”, is changed to “DTMF ‘D’ for at least 100 milliseconds”. In a preferred embodiment, the receiver transmits the DTMF D tone for 250 milliseconds. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110169628 | WIRELESS VOIP NETWORK FOR SECURITY SYSTEM MONITORING - A Voice over IP (VoIP) module is used to connect an alarm system to a monitoring station over the Internet. A built-in wireless or Ethernet over A/C power component is described, such that the Voice-over-IP equipment can be placed at a distance from a router, without the need to run an Ethernet cable from the VoIP equipment to the router. This arrangement is useful, as in many cases, the customer's security system is hidden within a closet, or else placed within the home or business at a significant distance from their Internet connection and router. The present invention accomplishes this by adding a built-in WiFi (wireless) radio, or a built-in Ethernet over Power circuit, into the Voice-over-IP equipment installed in the home or business. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20100268911 | Method and Apparatus for Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration on an Array of Processors - A method and apparatus for dynamic partial reconfiguration on an array of processors. The method includes the steps of verifying if a processor is ready for dynamic partial reconfiguration to begin, deciding the degree of dynamic partial reconfiguration, including the number and identity of all processors to be modified, executing native machine code in the port of a processing device, and modifying a segment of the internal memory of said single processing device. Additional embodiments allow modification of multiple processors in the array, including the modification of all processors on a die or system. The apparatus includes a processor array having a first group of processors connected together for performing a first task, and a second group of processors connected together for performing a second task with at least one processor connected to said first group of processors and said second group of processors for facilitating communications between said first group of processors and said second group of processors without participating in said first task and said second task. In an embodiment of the apparatus, this one processor dynamically reconfigures the array. Additional embodiments allow additional processors to aid in the reconfiguration. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090083360 | Shift-add based parallel multiplication - A system for performing parallel multiplication on a plurality of factors. In a binary processor, a first and a second memory have pluralities of bit-positions. The first memory holds a first value as a multiplier that will commonly serve as multiple of the factors, and the second memory holds a second value that is representative of multiple multiplicands that are other of the factors. A multiplier bit-count is determined of the significant bits in the multiplier. And a +* operation is performed with the first value and said second value a quantity of times equaling the multiplier bit-count. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20120105203 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PERSONAL ALERTS - Embodiments of the invention are generally related to systems for allowing a person to issue an alert or alarm, and are particularly related to a system and method for providing personal alerts. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a mobile device, such as a cellular telephone or personal digital assistant (PDA) or other device, and/or a software application with a user interface executing on the device. The software application includes a personal 911 or alert icon, which is available to the user as needed. In normal use, a user can configure and enable the device and/or application before an emergency situation occurs, so that it the opportunity to issue an alert available when needed. In an embodiment, the user can do this by depressing/activating and holding an alert icon displayed on the user interface. When released, the user has a short time to disable or cancel the alert. If the alert is not disabled during this time period, the application sends a message, such as a voice or text message, preferably with the users name and position (e.g. longitude and latitude, or other geographic information), estimated current address, and/or any other relevant information such as medical or other information provided by the user during the configuration process, to those contacts previously entered and recorded. | 05-03-2012 |
