Patent number: 7932815Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems, and methods for wirelessly communicating between a tractor and a set of trailers in a tractor-trailer environment are described. In embodiments, a tractor wireless communication device associated with a tractor is initialized and associated with a tractor initialization time. Additionally, a trailer wireless communication device associated with at least one trailer is initialized and associated with a trailer initialization time. In various embodiments, it is determined whether the tractor wireless communication device and the trailer wireless communication device are in physical proximity by comparing initialization times. Further, in various embodiments, tractor-trailer information events are communicated wirelessly between a tractor and a trailer.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Intermec IP Corp.Inventors: Rene Martinez, Arvin Danielson

Publication number: 20080025378Abstract: A hierarchical communication system is described in which two wireless local area networks exhibiting substantially different characteristics are employed to link inherently portable or mobile computer devices. A series of radio base stations make up a infrastructure network. The infrastructure network and at least one portable computer device make up the first local area network. The communication on the first local area network is accomplished by spread spectrum frequency hopping communication A second local area network allows for radio communication between a portable computer device and peripheral devices with built-in transceivers utilized by the portable computer device. The communication in each local area network is controlled by a reservation access communication protocol. The communication protocol facilitates frequency hopping synchronization and supports adaptive data rate selection based upon the quality of communication on the communication channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: Ronald Mahany, Guy West, Alan Bunte, Arvin Danielson, Michael Morris

Publication number: 20080025235Abstract: A hierarchical communication system, arranged in a spanning tree configuration, is described in which wired and wireless communication networks exhibiting substantially different characteristics are employed in an overall scheme to link portable or mobile computing devices. Copies of data, program code and processing resources are migrated from their source toward requesting destinations based on request frequency, communication link costs and available local storage and/or processing resources. Each appropriately configured network device acts as an active participant in network migration. In addition, portable two-dimensional (2-D) code reading terminals are configured to wirelessly communicate compressed 2-D images toward stationary access servers that identify the code image through decoding and through comparison with a database of images that have previously been decoded and stored.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: Ronald Mahany, Guy West, Alan Bunte, Arvin Danielson, Michael Morris, Robert Meier

Publication number: 20070293258Abstract: Improved apparatus for a radio communication system having a multiplicity of mobile transceiver units selectively in communication with a plurality of base transceiver units which communicate with one or two host computers for storage and manipulation of data collected by bar code scanners or other collection means associated with the mobile transceiver units. A network controller provides selective interface means to be employed between the host computers and the base transceivers whereby low data rate base transceivers may be utilized with the network controller while spread spectrum or high data rate networked base transceivers may be also utilized. The network controller may allow selection of interface means for three of its ports from its front panel with use of three input keys. The network controller is entirely external to the host computer or computers, and can couple to a variety of commonly encountered host ports.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Inventors: Charles Gollnick, Ronald Luse, John Pavek, Marvin Sojka, James Cnossen, Robert Geers, Arvin Danielson, Mary Detweiler, Gary Spiess, Guy West, Amos Young, Keith Cargin, Richard Arensdorf, Ronald Mahany

Publication number: 20070065046Abstract: A data capturing module combined with a portable data terminal of the hand-held type to record handwritten data. Using a digitized pad, the module can provide for direct input of handwritten data into the system, or a peripheral digital scanner can be employed to provide for data entry. Depending upon the particular application, the module therefore provides for data entry of handwritten text or graphics using the data terminal and other components of a portable data system to enter, display, print or otherwise communicate the handwritten data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: David Hacker, Jerry Walter, Arvin Danielson, Dennis Durbin

Publication number: 20060233161Abstract: Portable measuring devices which communicate by low power transceivers through a communication controller with a printer device collect weight and size data on articles to be shipped. The collected weight and size data are combined with origin and destination data, and labels are printed bearing pertinent shipping and routing information in machine readable format. The labels are attached to the articles to be shipped and accompany the articles to their respective destinations. At transfer points the labels are read by scanner devices which also communicate by low power transceiver links with the communication controller. The wireless linking of the scanner devices promotes human safety by the absence of cords which could cause entanglement of an operator in mechanized conveying equipment. The communication controllers at each stage of the shipping process have the capability of transferring received and updated status information on the shipped articles to a central data station.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2006Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Steven Koenck, Alan Bunte, Keith Cargin, George Hanson, Ronald Mahany, Phillip Miller, Steven Salvay, Arvin Danielson, Guy West
