  • Localizing a remote event timestamp from a network device with an independent clock method and apparatus
    Patent number: 7496686
    Abstract: A timestamp localization method and device includes two processors with independent clocks connected to a communication network. Two messages are exchanged between the processors. First a request message is sent with a transmit timestamp. Second, a reply message is sent back with receive, originate, transmit and remote timestamps. Then the remote timestamp is converted to a local timestamp using an algorithm and the timestamps from the reply message.

  • Ultrasonic locator system and method
    Patent number: 7483338
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transmitter system(s) and method(s) are described having location and tracking capabilities. The transmitter's, by using ultra sound and encoded micro-modulation, are able to provide enhanced longevity and reliability. A maze algorithm is devised that further provides discrimination of false detections, versus true detections, and no detection.

  • Voltage isolated detection apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7091728
    Abstract: A high-isolation call cord switch includes connectivity for a standard hospital-style push-button call cord while using low voltage alternating current to isolate detection circuitry from static electricity. An alternating current signal is used to permit transformer coupling, with its intrinsic isolation capability, between the call cord switch and the detection circuit.
