Patent number: 9046461Abstract: A wireless sensor capable of sensing and measuring at least one ambient parameter is disclosed herein. The wireless sensor is capable of transmission of measurement values at a periodic rate, wherein the transmission rate is varied or non-varied. An amplifier varies a power transmission to the antenna based on a real-time soil conductivity value of a soil area and a real-time soil dielectric constant value of a soil area to improve a communication range and communication reliability of the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Green Badge, LLCInventors: Katayoun Sohrabi, Jeffrey Campbell

Patent number: 8953506Abstract: Methods and apparatus permitting the coexistence of multiple communication links to distinct wireless systems in a client device are disclosed. A wireless device can interface with both a primary communications system and at least one distinct communications system by managing the coexistence of active communications with the multiple communication systems. The wireless device can initially configure communications with the primary communications system for dynamically reconfigurable time multiplexed operation having scheduled periods of inactivity. The wireless device can determine timing and scheduling of communications with the distinct communications systems and can schedule the communications with the distinct communications systems during periods of inactivity in the primary communications system. The periods of inactivity may be limited to the scheduled periods of inactivity or can include unscheduled periods of inactivity occurring during active periods of the time multiplexed operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Wi-LAN, Inc.Inventor: Katayoun Sohrabi

Patent number: 8862277Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the dynamic response of soil moisture and setting a threshold in relation to the field capacity of a soil area is disclosed herein. By measuring the dynamic response of soil moisture under wet soil conditions, one can determine a practical field capacity for the soil, in-situ, based solely on the soil moisture sensor output. Essentially, by looking at how the soil moisture level varies with time one can determine the field capacity.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Green Badge, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Campbell, Katayoun Sohrabi, Clayton R. Karmel, Carmen Magro

Patent number: 8682494Abstract: A method for prescribing action to maintain a land area within a predetermined performance zone is disclosed herein. The method results in prescribing an action for the land area. The method measures soil salinity, soil temperature, soil moisture, air temperature, soil pollutant content, soil nutrient content, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Green Badge, LLCInventors: Carmen Magro, Jeffrey Campbell, Katayoun Sohrabi, Clayton R. Karmel

Publication number: 20070223497Abstract: A multi-radio sensor node is provided that includes two or more communication devices. The communication devices include radio frequency (RF) devices like radios. Each communication device supports simultaneous communications among multi-radio sensor nodes of respective independent network clusters. A network structure is provided that includes two or more local network clusters. Each local network cluster includes numerous multi-radio sensor nodes. Each communication device of a multi-radio sensor node supports communication among the multi-radio sensor nodes of a different one of the local network clusters so that simultaneous communications are supported among the multi-radio sensor nodes of the local network clusters. The multi-radio sensor nodes of the local network clusters determine their locations relative to the other multi-radio sensor nodes of the independent network clusters with which they communicate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2007Publication date: September 27, 2007Inventors: Jeremy Elson, Lewis Girod, William Kaiser, William Merrill, Lars Newberg, Brian Schiffer, Katayoun Sohrabi
