Assignee:

Rajant Corporation - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709238, 709242

Abstract:

A system and method for improving digital communication in a wireless mobile ad-hoc network. More specifically, the system includes one or more portable network devices operable to support the seamless operation of a self-initializing, self-healing, adaptive portable network. The portable network devices implement protocols that provide bandwidth management capabilities for use with radios, routers and other wireless network devices. Each portable network device includes at least one wireless transceiver, a processor and control software. The processor and control software are logically coupled to the wireless transceiver to facilitate digital communication via a plurality of communication channels with other network devices.

US Classification:

455/555000, 455/561000

Abstract:

A wireless communication network comprises a plurality of wireless communication nodes, each wireless communication node comprising a first wireless access point and a second wireless access point coupled to the first wireless access point. The first wireless access point is configured in a first mode to wirelessly communicate with at least one wireless client and with a wireless access point of another wireless communication node. The second wireless access point is configured to wirelessly communicate with a wireless access point of a different other wireless communication node. Multiple wireless communication nodes according the present invention may be coupled together to form a wireless bridged network.

Inventors:

Rajant Corporation - Malvern PA, US
Martin A. Lamb - Romansville PA, US
Joseph E. Parks - Coatesville PA, US
David Acker - Malvern PA, US

Assignee:

Rajant Corporation - Malvern PA

International Classification:

H04W 40/02

US Classification:

370225

Abstract:

Traditional computer networks have been designed with the need for highly reliable packet delivery. This is largely handled by a centrally managed simple send-acknowledge protocol. In a highly dynamic mesh network, these methods are inadequate to ensure the most reliable packet delivery. This invention uses the natural redundancy of routes in a mesh and other techniques to increase the reliability of a network, even as the paths to any given node are dynamic in nature.

Abstract:

A fabric selection tool provides an automated procedure for recommending and/or selecting a fabric for a window treatment to be installed in a building. The recommendation may be made to optimize the performance of the window treatment in which the fabric may be installed. The recommended fabric may be selected based on performance metrics associated with each fabric in an environment. The fabrics may be ranked based upon the performance metrics of one or more of the fabrics. One or more of the fabrics, and/or their corresponding ranks, may be displayed to a user for selection. The recommended fabrics may be determined based on combinations of fabrics that provide performance metrics for various façades of the building. Using the ranking system provided by the fabric selection tool, the user may obtain a fabric sample and/or order one or more of the recommended fabrics.
