  • Patent number: 9450925
    Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for auto-commissioning of devices in a communication network are described herein. One or more embodiments include a method for auto-commissioning of a device added to a communication network, comprising: determining properties of signal transitions of the communication network via a device added to the network while the signal transitions of the communication network are passing unchanged, and processing the signal transitions of the communication network, via the device, based on the properties of the signal transitions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2016

  • Patent number: 8549296
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using simple authenticated messages are disclosed for use with implementing (i) synchronization schemes, (ii) encoded control messaging schemes, and (iii) encrypted data communication schemes. Messages are authenticated by applying a secure hash function to one or more authentication tokens to produce hash results which are compared to stored trusted bit strings, wherein the stored trusted bit strings are replaced with the most-recently received authentication token whose corresponding hash result matched the stored bit string.

  • Patent number: 7146528
    Abstract: Methods and an associated apparatus are disclosed for providing fault tolerance for memory. The method involves generating a remapping value. Then the remapping value may be logically combined with the address value intended for accessing a given memory location to remap the bad address to an unused address.
