International Classification:

H04B 700
H04B 1702
H04Q 700

US Classification:

342367

Abstract:

An antenna selection technique is used in an RF communincation system in which user modules (UM) communicate with at least one node. The UM's and nodes each have multiple antennae. The combination of each UM and node antenna is evaluated at the UM. Based on at least signal quality, the UM selects its antenna and the best node antenna for use. An alternate antenna is selected if a person is determined to be present in a predetermined area adjacent a UM corresponding to a predetermined RF power level.

Appl. No.:

8/067597

Inventors:

Michael J. Nolan - La Plata MD

International Classification:

B60R 2510

US Classification:

340426

Abstract:

A vehicle security system including a key switch, a first relay, a second relay, a first timer, a second timer, a warning device, and a push-button switch. The key switch activates and deactivates the system. Once the key switch is in an operative position and the system is activated, the vehicle's ignition switch in an operative position activates the second relay. Operation of the second relay, or of a vehicle door switch, activates the first relay which starts the first and second timers. The first timer initiates a first timing delay and, at the end of this timing delay, activates the warning device. The warning device warns the driver that the alarm sequence has been initiated. The push-button switch initiates an engine standby mode. The second timer initiates a second timing delay and cuts off the engine unless a standby mode is initiated before the end of the second timing delay.

Abstract:

An antenna selection technique is used in an RF communication system in which user modules (UM) communicate with at least one node. The UM's and nodes each have multiple antennae. The combination of each UM and node antenna is evaluated at the UM. Based on both signal quality and strength, the UM selects its antenna and the best node antenna for use.

International Classification:

H04L 1256

US Classification:

370 941

Abstract:

A hierarchical addressing technique is employed in a packet communications system to enhance flexibility in storing and referencing packet information. This method permits packet message data and certain packet control data to be stored in memory locations without having to be duplicated at a different memory location prior to transmission of the packet. This method is preferably employed in a ring configuration in which a series of packets have addressing mechanisms which points sequentially to each other to form a ring of packets received or to be transmitted.

International Classification:

H04B 1713

US Classification:

375202

Abstract:

A method for handing off user devices (131-134) between network control processors (110, 120) in a frequency hopping communication system (100) includes establishing a set of synchronization frequencies (A-D) for use by said NCPs (110, 120), informing the plurality of user devices (131-134) of said synchronization frequencies (A-D) and assigning a synchronization frequency (A, B, C or D) to each respective NCP, each NCP transmitting synchronization information at its assigned synchronization frequency (A, B, C or D) during each hopping dwell (1-82). Upon a determination that a user device hand-off is necessary, said user device in question (133) tunes to a synchronization frequency (B) different from the synchronization frequency (A) employed by the currently serving NCP (110) and synchronizes its operation to the NCP (120) transmitting synchronization information on the tuned to synchronization frequency (B).

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61F 5/443
C08L 75/04
C08L 33/10

Abstract:

An ostomy appliance system includes an ostomy appliance having a stoma opening and a first electrical interface, and at least one thermal sensor configured to detect at least one thermal property, such as temperature, at the ostomy appliance, the at least one temperature sensor connected to the first electrical interface with electrical circuitry. A wearable device may be removably connected to the ostomy appliance and operably connected to the at least one thermal sensor. The wearable device includes a housing, a second electrical interface configured for electrical connection to the first electrical interface, a power supply and a controller operably connected to the power supply. The controller is configured to determine a condition of the ostomy appliance based on the at least one thermal property detected at the at least one thermal sensor. The wearable device may also include a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a personal communication device.
