  • Publication number: 20150110119
    Abstract: A virtual gateway for communicating between one or more remote machine to machine capillary networks and a local base transceiver station includes an interface for communicating with a local base transceiver station. The interface emulates a Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol in the communication. The virtual gateway also includes an interface for communicating with one or more remote capillary networks and a SIM emulation component for emulating a SIM card.

  • Patent number: 8661054
    Abstract: The invention provides a file management method and system for managing file retrieval and access. The method operates at the operating system level within a file system of a computer device and allows creating file move links upon detection of a file move request. The file move link associates the file source location with the file target location and is stored within a file move link table of the file system for subsequent file access request. File path to target location is automatically retrieved and file reached transparently for the user.

  • Patent number: 8294573
    Abstract: A system of tracking transcontinental shipping containers, which is optimized to conserve the power consumption of tracking devices attached to the containers, is disclosed. The system uses short-range transceiving devices to form a mesh network that includes the tracking devices and a processing device coupled to the shipping vessel, thereby enabling the tracking devices to communicate and update their status without using a long-range or satellite communications adaptors.

  • Patent number: 7936250
    Abstract: An identifier device, which may be part of a tracking or similar transponder device, which can be removably coupled to an article to be identified or tracked. Data representing the identity of the article is encoded in the form of a pattern, and can be read by the identifier device when correctly engaged to the article, by sampling the pattern so as to extract the data encoded therein for transmission. The pattern may be a relief pattern, for example in the form of bumps and pits such as a Braille pattern, or magnetic domains, or the like.
