Abstract: A speed and position sensing device designed for retrofitting onto the wheel of a vehicle is provided. The provided sensor transmits measurement data by means of wireless communications and thus achieves the easy installation. The provided sensor is able to power itself by harvesting the energy generated as the result of the wheel rotation.

Abstract: A network-enabled device is provided. The provided network-enabled device includes at least one light indicator, and an electronic circuit capable of controlling brightness of said light indicator and driving said light indicator in a manner that allows simultaneous indication of at least a first dimension and a second dimension of said network-enabled device's operational state on said at least one light indicator using at least a first method and a second method of status indication. The present invention reduces the size, cost, and complexity—both internal and aesthetic—of network-enabled devices by combining the functions of the network LED (or a set thereof) and the device LED (or a set thereof) in a single status LED (or a set thereof).

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed that relate to the control of devices over a network from a central controller. A computer server can control, monitor and affect devices which include a controller and a network interface for communicating information between the device and the server. The device and central controller communicate using a predefined communications protocol for either remote configuration, control, or monitoring of the device and the protocol allows the central server to recognize the device as a hierarchical tree of contexts including data elements and metadata describing each said data element.

Abstract: The present invention provides an Ethernet module for a finished Ethernet device, said finished Ethernet device comprising: a host circuit board, and a connector jack mounted upon said host circuit board; wherein said Ethernet module comprises a circuit board vertically mountable upon the host circuit board, and wherein said Ethernet module is dimensioned to correspond to a rear face of said connector jack. By the innovative construction of space-saving Ethernet module, the present invention reduces the footprint of the Ethernet module on the host circuit board and increases the efficiency of utilization of the finished Ethernet device's internal volume.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data logging system and a data logging method for heterogeneous data. The record file and the index file according to the present invention are constructed in such a way that the data from the log record corresponding to a given target visual data line are accessible within essentially constant time independent of the position of the visual data line within the data view, the size of the data view, the size of the log record, and the size of the record file. In the present invention, the interpreted data for each log record, occupying zero or at least one of the visual data lines, are represented within the data view continuously side by side. The computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program allowing a computer to execute the data logging method according to the present invention and the computer program product for the same are also provided.

Abstract: A connector jack with reduced host PCB footprint and an assembly of the same are provided. The provided connector jack is constructed based on a housing defining at least a front face with a plug receiving cavity on the surface thereof and with a plurality of electrical contacts positioned within the cavity, and a bottom face having a recess area on the surface thereof and adapted for mounting on a circuit board. In the present invention, at least a portion of the housing is made of a transparent or translucent material so that the status indicators located within the recess will be visible through the transparent portion of the front face of the jack housing, and the recess area occupies a substantial portion of the bottom face and allows to place at least one status indicator and at least one additional component on the circuit board and at least partially within the recess area.
