  • Self-discharging reserve power units and related methods
    Patent number: 10008879
    Abstract: Self-discharging reserve power units and related methods are described. A self-discharging reserve power unit comprises an electrical energy storage component to provide power to a process control device. The electric energy storage component is coupled to an energy discharge component and a controller, which causes the discharge component to discharge energy from the electrical energy storage component following completion of an operation by the process control device.

  • WIRELESS UNDERGROUND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170005909
    Abstract: Technology for a wireless underground communication system is disclosed. The wireless underground communication system can include a multi radio directional router (MRDR). The MRDR can include a dedicated in-by transceiver Wi-Fi node, and the dedicated in-by transceiver Wi-Fi node can be assigned a first unique IP address. The MRDR can include a dedicated out-by transceiver Wi-Fi node, and the dedicated out-by transceiver Wi-Fi node can be assigned a second unique IP address. The wireless underground communication system can include a routing module configured to route data between a plurality of MRDRs based on one or more of Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), using the dedicated in-by transceiver Wi-Fi node and the dedicated out-by transceiver Wi-Fi node.
