Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify and manage IoT protocols and associated devices. An example apparatus includes a gateway device to communicate according to a first protocol. The example gateway device includes a plugin agent to discover a first device and probe the first device to gather data regarding a protocol of the first device. The example plugin agent is to transmit the gathered data to a plugin manager to determine whether the first device is to communicate via the first protocol, and, when the first device is unable to communicate via the first protocol, determine a plugin for the gateway device to enable the gateway device to communicate with the first device, the plugin agent to provision the plugin for the gateway device with respect to the first device.

International Classification:

H04W 8/22
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented systems and methods for device provisioning. The method may include receiving, by a computer, a selection instructions to detect wireless devices. The computer may include one or more processors, a radio transceiver, and a microphone. The method may also include identifying, by the radio transceiver, a plurality of wireless devices. Additionally, the method may include transmitting, by the radio transceiver to the wireless devices, respective requests for inaudible audio signal transmission. The method may also include receiving, by the microphone, a first inaudible audio signal from a first wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices. Further still, the method may include determining, based at least in part on the first inaudible audio signal, that the first wireless device is located in the same room as the user device.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to an end fitting and method to install the end fitting to a flexible pipe. The method includes disposing a shell mandrel at a free end of the flexible pipe external to a jacket of the flexible pipe and performing a cutback of layers of the flexible pipe to expose an internal pressure sheath of the flexible pipe. An armor layer of the flexible pipe is radially outward from an axial direction of the flexible pipe. At least one internal pressure containment transition component and at least one internal pressure sheath seal are installed on the exposed free end of the flexible pipe. The end fitting is assembled such that the at least one internal pressure containment transition component and at least one seal are assembled with non-radial fasteners having a backward facing direction.
