Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080224866 | Virtualization and Quality of Sensor Data - A method for generating information related to a first object based on sensor data associated with a second object includes determining a containment hierarchy between the first object and the second object. Sensor data associated with the second object is determined using the containment hierarchy. A quality of data index is determined for the sensor data associated with the second object using the containment hierarchy. Information related to the first object is generated based on the sensor data associated with the second object and the quality of data index. | 09-18-2008 |
20080224867 | Real-Time and Offline Location Tracking Using Passive RFID Technologies - A system for location tracking using passive tags includes a reader and a location tracker. The reader receives an identifier associated with a first passive tag. The location tracker receives the location of the passive tag, and maps the location of the first passive tag to the identifier associated with the first passive tag. The location tracker determines the location of an object based on the location of the first passive tag. The location tracker may receive the location of a second passive tag, and map the location of the second passive tag to an identifier associated with the second passive tag. The location tracker may update the location of the object using the location of the second passive tag in response to the reader receiving the identifier associated with the second passive tag. | 09-18-2008 |
20080302871 | RFID Key Rotation System - In various embodiments, a method for tracking objects includes receiving an internal identifier associated with an object. A first key or external identifier for a tag is associated with the internal identifier. A second external identifier is generated and the second external identifier is then written to the tag. The second external identifier is associated with the internal identifier associated with the object. | 12-11-2008 |
20080303667 | RFID and Sensor Signing System - In various embodiments, a method for signing tags associated with objects includes receiving a first identifier associated with a tag. A first signature is generated for the tag based on the identifier and a public key. The first identifier and the first signature are then stored in the tag. | 12-11-2008 |
20080307435 | Event Processing Finite State Engine and Language - In various embodiments, a method for processing event streams includes receiving a finite state machine defined in response to a set of processing components, a set of states, and a set of entry points. Event data associated with an event stream is also received. The event data is processes according to the finite state machine to generate an event. | 12-11-2008 |
20090096608 | INDUSTRIAL IDENTIFY ENCODING AND DECODING LANGUAGE - In various embodiments, a method for processing industrial identifiers includes receiving unstructured data. An encoding scheme is determined for the unstructured data based on an execution tree associated with a plurality of industrial identifiers. The encoding scheme is then output to an application. Data may be received for one or more fields associated with one of the plurality of industrial identifiers. An industrial identifier may be generated based on the execution tree in response to the data. | 04-16-2009 |
20090177774 | NETWORK MASS OPERATION INFRASTRUCTURE - In various embodiments, a method for managing edge processors includes providing an interface that allows a user to define a network operation associated with a edge processor. A network operation is generated based on input received via the interface. An action defined by the network operation is then performed at one or more edge processors. | 07-09-2009 |
20090177863 | HIERARCHICAL MANAGEMENT OF REALTIME EDGE PROCESSOR - A hierarchical network infrastructure includes an interface that allows a user to define a management hierarchy between a plurality of edge processors. Input is received via the interface designating a management node and a first set of relationships between the management mode and at least one edge processor. A management hierarchy between the management node and the at least one edge processor is generated based on the first set of relationships. Using the management hierarchy, telemetry information can be relayed, hosts can be managed, and the software running on then, and information can be configured to trickled up the chain. Each sub tree of the management hierarchy may have different Access Control for local administrators. | 07-09-2009 |
20120124353 | EVENT PROCESSING FINITE STATE ENGINE AND LANGUAGE - In various embodiments, a method for processing event streams includes receiving a state machine defined in response to a set of processing components, a set of states, and a set of entry points. Event data associated with an event stream is also received. The event data is processed according to the state machine to generate an event. | 05-17-2012 |
