Patent number: 8683024Abstract: The present invention discloses a remote network management system for coupling a series of remote serial devices, servers, and computers to one or more user workstations allowing for selective access of the remote devices. The remote serial devices, servers, and computers are all connected to a remote management unit which interfaces the user workstations to the remote devices. The power supply of each remote device is also connected to the remote management unit through a controllable power supply. The video from the remote networking equipment is digitized and optimized by an LCD controller located within the remote management unit before it is compressed for transmission. An option menu containing a menu of all the remote devices allows a user to select and operate any of the remote devices. The option menu is also utilizes to selectively control the power to the remote serial devices, servers, and computers.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2003Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: RIIP, Inc.Inventor: David Hoerl

Patent number: 8619024Abstract: Disclosed is a high-frequency boost circuitry for use with a computer management system. Detection circuitry at the receiving end of a video signal measures the amplitudes of various frequency components of the video signal. If the amplitudes of the high-frequency components of the video signal are substantially lower than the amplitudes of the low frequency components of the video signal, the detection circuitry sends the amplitude information to analysis circuitry located at the transmitting end of the video signal. The analysis circuitry utilizes this information to determine the appropriate level of amplification needed for the video signal. This results in improved signal to noise ratio at the receiver in the computer management system.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: RIIP, Inc.Inventor: David Hoerl

Patent number: 8558795Abstract: The present invention discloses a wireless remote network management system for wirelessly interfacing a series of remote devices (e.g., computers, servers, etc.) to one or more user workstations. Each remote device is coupled to a wireless transmitter, and each user workstation includes a wireless user station coupled to a keyboard, a video monitor and a cursor control device (e.g., a mouse). Preferably, the transmitters and user stations utilize an 802.11 compatible ad-hoc network for communication. Alternatively, a central wireless access point may be utilized to centralize communications between the transmitters and user stations. The wireless network enables a user workstation to access, monitor and control a remote device. An option menu containing a list of all the remote devices allows a user to select any of the remote devices for operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2004Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: RIIP, Inc.Inventor: David Hoerl
