Abstract: A damper system is configured for installation in ductwork including a duct supplying conditioned air through a register boot to a register vent. A damper is movable between a closed position and an open position. A control module includes a control module housing, a controller, a power supply and a transceiver. The controller monitors a remaining energy level of the power supply and transmits a first low battery message via the transceiver when the remaining energy level drops to a first energy threshold. The controller instructs the damper assembly to move to a predetermined position and to transmit a second low battery message via the transceiver when the remaining energy level drops to a second energy threshold.

Abstract: Sensor communication testing is described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include a sensor comprising a wireless transmitter configured to generate a radio-frequency (RF) signal, an RF attenuator configured to direct the RF signal in a pre-determined direction, and a controller configured to receive a self-test command to execute a communication test, send a communication test signal to a sensor panel in response to the self-test command, and receive a communication test response signal from the sensor panel in response to the communication test signal, where the communication test response signal indicates whether the sensor has passed or failed the communication test.

Abstract: A network includes an access point Wi-Fi Direct (AP WFD) device. The AP WFD device includes access point (AP) functionality. A plurality of client WiFi Direct (WFD) devices is coupled to the AP WFD device. The client WFD devices include client functionality. The AP WFD device is configured to synchronize the client WFD devices and to stream multimedia data to the client WFD devices.

Abstract: A method of assigning nodes and time slots in a wireless audio node mesh network includes transmitting via a gateway node to nodes in a wireless mesh network, such that nodes in the wireless mesh network that receive transmissions from the gateway node are allocated to a first level as child nodes of the gateway node, transmitting via the first level nodes to further nodes in the wireless mesh network such that further nodes that receive transmissions from the first level nodes are allocated to a second level as child nodes of the first level nodes, and allocating non-conflicting transmission and reception time slots to the gateway node, the first level nodes and the second level nodes.
