20120171954 | ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION WITH DOUBLE WAKE UP - The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and computer program product for controlling reception in an asynchronous operation mode, wherein a transmitter sends an extended preamble sequence of length longer than the maximum length of a wake up message itself plus the maximum length of a gap between wake up messages, such that a receiver turning on during a sequence of wake up commands and not detecting the wake up commands, can be sure to successfully detect a preamble if it tries again a second time a set interval later. | 07-05-2012 |

20130316652 | METHOD TO USE AUXILIARY CHANNEL TO ACHIEVE FAST AND POWER-EFFICIENT ASSOCIATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A medical system includes one or more MBAN devices that acquire and communicate patient data. The medical system further including one or more medical body area network (MBAN) systems, each MBAN system including the one or more MBAN devices that communicate the patient data with a hub device via short-range wireless communication, the communication of the patient data via the short-range wireless communication being within a predefined spectrum. The hub device receives patient data communicated from the one or more MBAN devices and communicates with a central monitoring station via a longer range communication. The one or more MBAN devices transmit an association request to the hub device on one or more auxiliary channels to associate each MBAN device with the MBAN system, the auxiliary channels being outside the predefined spectrum. | 11-28-2013 |
20140119350 | TECHNIQUES FOR EFFICIENT DATA TRANSFERS IN A BODY AREA NETWORK - A method for transferring data among devices in a body area network (BAN). The method comprises dividing an access time to a wireless medium of the BAN into at least a contention-based period and a contention-free reservation period; allowing devices to transfer data during the contention-based period using a local prioritized contention access (LPCA) mechanism; and allowing only devices having reserved time slots to transfer data during the contention-free reservation period. | 05-01-2014 |
20140318716 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING FALSE POSITIVE OCCUPANCY SENSOR DETECTIONS CAUSED BY MOTION - A method and corresponding system is disclosed that provides for management of a response to motion detection in a motion-based system. The method includes: determining a schedule of movement of a position and an orientation of a window treatment, wherein a scheduled time of movement of the window treatment is greater than a time-out period of an occupancy sensor and determining at least one of the position of the window treatment and the orientation of the window treatment at a corresponding time of movement wherein the movement is based at least on one of a current time and a next time, and responsive to a detection of motion, outputting the determined at least one position and orientation at the current time. | 10-30-2014 |
20140318717 | METHOD FOR SHARING MOVEMENT ADAPTATION SCHEDULE TO PREVENT FALSE POSITIVE INDICATIONS IN MOTION SENSING BASED SYSTEMS - A method for management of a response to motion detection in a motion-based system is disclosed. The method, and a corresponding system, determines a schedule ( | 10-30-2014 |
20150154404 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING PRIVACY PROTECTION IN NETWORKED LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEMS - A method and corresponding system is disclosed for use in a Networked Lighting Control System whereby an individual can determine various privacy settings for data collected that relates to an area in which he/she is being monitored. These various settings include selecting by the individual what specific types of data can be/cannot be collected; whether he/she can be linked to the collected data; and limiting the purpose for which the data can be used. | 06-04-2015 |
