Patent number: 10687228Abstract: A network device operates as a node in a wireless mesh communication network. The device includes a wireless communication interface to couple the device to adjacent nodes via respective direct communication links. The device stores routing data indicating, for each of multiple destination devices, via which of the adjacent nodes packets can be routed to the corresponding destination device along a respective routing path. In a first instance, the network device receives a packet from an adjacent node, determines that the packet includes data for a destination device referenced by the routing data, and sends the packet to the destination device, in accordance with the routing data. In a second instance, the network device determines that a packet includes an update related to one of the routing paths, updates the routing data in accordance with the update, and sends the packet to one or more of the adjacent nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: MeshPlusPlus, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Gardner

Patent number: 10674399Abstract: A network device operates as a node in a wireless mesh communication network. The device includes a wireless communication interface to couple the device to adjacent nodes via respective direct communication links in a phased repeating geometry. The device employs a phased synchronization within the wireless mesh communication network to transmit multiple packets and create overlapping network coverage of a geographic space. The device receives a first packet from a first node during a first phase, a second packet from a second node during a second phase, and applies an exclusive- or operation to the first packet and the second packet to generate a third packet, and sends the third packet to a first adjacent node and a second adjacent node during the third phase. In a second instance, the device applies an exclusive-or operation to a first phase packet and a second phase packet to retrieve a third phase packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: MeshPlusPlus, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Gardner

Publication number: 20130080841Abstract: An amount of a resource, such as bandwidth, needed to successfully accomplish a target Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is estimated in a data processing environment giving two or more physical or virtual data processing machines. Time-stamped samples of a usage metric for the resource are taken over a usage period. These samples are later accessed and time aligned to determine an average usage metric at defined intervals. An expected tolerance for RPO failure allows determining a first assumed amount of the resource available to achieve a target RPO that is less than might otherwise be expected. These steps can be repeated for other expected replication failure tolerances to allow a risk versus resource available trade off analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2011Publication date: March 28, 2013Applicant: SunGard Availability ServicesInventors: CHANDRA REDDY, DANIEL GARDNER

Patent number: 7887055Abstract: An improved puzzle of the type that requires an examinee to fill a geometric grid with indicia using a set of clues and guided by placement rules, comprising a plurality of geometric shapes arranged contiguously to form rows, columns, diagonals, and spaces where the geometric shapes intersect. The placement rules of an embodiment are to fill the geometric shapes with non-repeating indicia such that indicia are also not repeated in any row, column, diagonal, or geometric shape. Clues are provided by the examiner in the form of a predetermined subset of the solution indicia, aggregation information about the indicia in each diagonal, and aggregation information about the indicia bordering areas where the geometric shapes intersect. This construct provides a superior challenge for the examinee by increasing the number and types of techniques required to solve a puzzle instance.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Inventor: Douglas Daniel Gardner
