  • Patent number: 8289372
    Abstract: The invention is achieved by using a method for displaying a thermal image in an infrared (IR) thermal camera, comprising the steps of registering an outdoor temperature value, registering an indoor temperature value, calculating an isotherm level by using the registered temperature values and a temperature color alarm level, imaging a surface area to create an image of the temperature distribution in at least a part of the surface area, comparing the surface area temperature in at least one image point of the thermal image to the isotherm level, adjusting the color of the at least one image point in dependence of the relation between the surface area temperature in said at least one image point and the isotherm level and displaying the colored thermal image. The invention allows you to determine immediately, on-site, if a building is well insulated or not. It presents an easily interpreted and understandable thermal image which instantly draws a users attention to an identified critical area.

  • Patent number: 6167271
    Abstract: A system to enable communication between a base station controller (24) within a cellular network (12), and a wired telephone system (38, 39) in a wired subscriber loop (113), wherein the base station controller (24) is responsive to, and generates, cellular network signaling, and the wired telephone system is responsive to, and generates, wired signals. The system includes: a protocol processor (121) receptive to the wired signals, for generating processed signals; and a terminal adapter controller (34) conductively coupled both to the base station controller (24) and to the protocol processor (121), receptive to the processed signals, for generating cellular network signaling. In another feature of the invention, the cellular network signaling is GSM signaling. In another feature of the invention, the system also includes a voice service module (123) conductively coupled to the protocol processor, for compressing voice data to standard cellular compression.

  • Patent number: 6128694
    Abstract: A method of correcting identification data stored in an EEPROM is described. Identification data stored in an EEPROM of a device such as a NIC is programmed into a flash ROM in which the host computer's BIOS is stored. During boot up of the host computer, the BIOS checksums the identification data stored in the EEPROM to determine whether it is valid. If the identification data is determined to be invalid, the EEPROM is reprogrammed with the identification data stored in the flash ROM. Optionally, a flag is set in a CMOS RAM for use by a network administrator to monitor the health of the EEPROM.

  • Patent number: 6118668
    Abstract: A computer in which an expansion card cage assembly is mounted in the computer chassis. The expansion card cage assembly includes a wall extending parallel to the chassis wall, a riser card mounted relative to the wall of the cage assembly and having a connector adapted to engage the connector of the motherboard, and at least one expansion card connected to the riser card. A lever is provided on the cage assembly wall and is adapted to engage the chassis wall to quick-detachably connect the cage assembly to the chassis.
