Abstract: A video data cable for use with a video medical device comprising an image capture device includes a processor; data storage; logic to identify the video medical device; logic to determine which of the video medical device or the data cable have a most up-to-date set of image capture settings based on the identified video medical device; logic to transmit the most up-to-date set of image capture settings to the video medical device when it is determined that the data cable includes the most up-to-date set of image capture settings; and logic to receive the most up-to-date set of image capture settings to the video medical device when it is determined that the data cable includes the most up-to-date set of image capture settings.

Abstract: A method for updating image capture settings of a video medical device, comprises connecting the video medical device to a video monitor via a data cable, wherein two or more of the video medical device, the video monitor, and the data cable each include storage for storing image capture settings. It is determined which of the video medical device, the video monitor, or the data cable have a most up-to-date set of image capture settings for an identified video medical device. The most up-to-date set of image capture settings is forwarded to the video medical device when it is determined that one of the video monitor or the data cable include the most up-to-date set of image capture settings. The stored image capture settings on the video medical device are updated based on the received most up-to-date set of image capture settings.

Abstract: Systems and methods of enhanced real-time communications between WiFi devices. In one embodiment of the present invention a method for enhanced payload protection in a WiFi system includes transmitting multiple copies of data packets in successive frame body transmissions. In another embodiment, a method for enhanced communications over a WiFi link includes examining a unit ID packet to determine a destination of a data payload when errors are detected in IP and/or MAC headers. If a destination is determined, the packet is corrected and forwarded to the device based on the unit ID determination. In another embodiment, a method for enhanced real-time communications in a WiFi network includes establishing a communications frame that includes an active timeslot, preferably based on U-APSD, for a WiFi device to use for transmission of successive audio data packets transmitted between the WiFi handset and AP.

Abstract: A method for reducing errors in streaming data over a wireless link that aligns data frames with wireless packets. The method is especially suitable for a wireless link that requires a uniform packet size and prohibits re-transmission of packets. One embodiment aligns a start of a data frame with a first wireless packet, transmits a beginning portion of the data frame in the first wireless packet over a wireless link, inserts into a second wireless packet an ending portion of the data frame along with fill data sufficient to fill the second wireless packet, and transmits the second wireless packet over the wireless link. A further embodiment includes synchronization markers at the start of the beginning portion and the ending portion.
