Patent number: 11736316Abstract: An Ethernet network is composed of one or more network infrastructure devices, such as a hubs, repeaters, switches or routers, which provides data interconnection and may provide operational power, or some part thereof, to remote network data terminal equipment such as a wireless access point, IP telephone, IP camera or network end station. Most Ethernet networks operate over a combination of the pairs in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, or in some cases may operate over fiber optic cables. The individual links of Ethernet network, between the network infrastructure device and the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) may be able to operate at one or more data rates such as 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 2.5 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s, or any combination thereof. The invention discloses an Ethernet Physical Layer (PHY) circuit, in combination with an Integrated Connector Module (ICM), which may reside inside the network equipment at either end of the Ethernet link.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: KinnexA, Inc.Inventors: Ian Crayford, Kuan-Hsiung Wei, Shin-Hao Chien

Publication number: 20230239171Abstract: A LED based emergency illumination source with integrated communications and processing functions, which can communicate via wireless communications to a mobile phone, smart phone, smart pad, smart watch, wrist band, key fob, notebook, tablet, desktop, or other computing device. The LED based emergency illumination source can be operated from a backup battery source in the event that power is disrupted, can be programmed to operate autonomously, and is able to alter its behavior, based on the proximity of a controlling element. The communications and processing functions can be integrated into LED lighting household and commercial illumination devices, as well as other electrical devices, such as wall outlets, light switches, plug in timers, appliances, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Ian CRAYFORD, Kelly COFFEY, Speros KOULOURAS
