  • Patent number: 11611893
    Abstract: An intelligent distributed antenna system is disclosed which improves upon known distributed antenna systems particularly with respect to identifying failures or anomalies in the system. The disclosed system includes a signal source, a master unit, and one or more remote units each connected to antennas for transmitting radio frequency signals to terminal units and each connected to the master unit through fiber. The remote units, the master unit, or both may include power signal readers. The remote units may be configured to determine a point of failure in the system based on the power measured from reflected signals. The master unit can be in communication with the remote units to generate alarms and reports as well as to control the system in response to detection of a failure or anomaly.

  • Patent number: 11610463
    Abstract: Disclosures relate to a sensor system and arrangements having different sized removable spacers. The spacers may be mixed and matched as needed or desired to compensate for misalignment conditions. Further, different spacer combinations and adjustments may be guided by a security management computing device. Variations in configurations of mounting surfaces, such as door and window assemblies, may be accommodated. Alignment of a transmitter or a receiving device, e.g., a magnetic device, with respect to a transmitter or receiving device despite misalignment of the components due to, for example, uneven surfaces of a door or a window, or a respective frame may be achieved.

  • Patent number: 11611944
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in nodes used for wireless communications. A first node first receives a first radio signal and a second radio signal; and then determines that transmitting power of first control information in a first time window is a first power value and transmitting power of second control information in a second time window is a second power value; and transmits the first control information in the first time window with the first power value; the first power value is unrelated to the second power value, and the second power value is relevant to whether the first time window overlaps with the second time window. The present disclosure designs power allocation priorities of first control information and second control information to optimize both transmission performance and efficiency of a feedback channel in sidelink.

  • Patent number: 11609947
    Abstract: A device may be configured to determine whether an audio file is a first type of audio file that is capable of being processed to recognize the voice query based on a characteristic of the audio file itself or a second type of audio file that may require speech recognition processing in order to recognize the voice query associated with the audio file. In determining whether the audio file is a first type of audio file or a second type of audio file, a query filter associated with the device may be configured to access one or more guidance queries. Using the one or more guidance queries, the device may classify the audio file as a first type of audio file or a second type of audio file based on receiving only a portion of the audio file, thereby improving the speed at which the audio file can be processed.

  • Patent number: 11611471
    Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments, aspects of the disclosure may provide efficient, effective, and convenient ways of managing network devices. In particular, a client router may connect to an upstream virtual gateway. The virtual gateway may manage a large number of client devices. Each client router may be represented virtually within the gateway as a virtual router. The virtual gateways may be distributed regionally, in order to manage large numbers of client routers and/or to reduce transmission delays. The virtual gateways may be managed by a gateway controller. The gateway controller may be centralized, and perform various configuration functions, such as configurations for hardware, logical networking, or content access policies. In some instances, messages sent between the gateway controller using a first protocol and the client router using a second protocol may be translated by a protocol agent.

  • Publication number: 20230084405
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a configurable optical peering fabric to dynamically create a connection between participant sites without any physical site limitations or necessity of specialized client and network provider equipment being located within such a facility. Client sites to a network may connect to a configurable switching element to be interconnected to other client sites in response to a request to connect the first client site with a second site, also connected to network, via the switching element. A request may trigger verification of the requested and, upon validation, transmission of an instruction to the switching element to enable the cross connect within the switching element. The first site and the second site may thus be interconnected via the switching element in response to the request, without the need to co-locate equipment or to manually install a jumper between client equipment.
