Abstract: An Internet of things (IoT) node operating in a low-power wide-area (LPWA) IoT network includes a store to keep at least a node unique ID, an incoming message processor configured to receive incoming messages over an LPWA and create an information unit associated with the incoming message, and an outgoing message creator configured to create an outgoing message and transmit it using the same LPWA protocol, the outgoing message includes the node unique ID and the information unit. A method for providing information to an application for computing geolocation of a moving appliance in an Internet of things (IoT) network includes receiving a radio signal over LoRa™ from an IoT device, computing an RSSI, creating an outgoing message with the ID of the receiving device, the ID of the sending device and the computed RSSI and sending the outgoing message to the application over LoRa™.

Abstract: A system for analyzing movement of a plurality of objects, including a transceiver, a location and movement estimator, and a group classifier, where the transceiver receives a plurality of information units from the objects, each information unit includes data related to radio signals, the location and movement estimator uses the data to compute movement characteristics for the objects, and the group classifier classifies the objects to coordinated groups according to their movement characteristics.

Abstract: A solar electricity generator including an array of solar electricity generating elements, a solar energy concentrating element operative to transmit concentrated solar radiation from the sun onto the array, voltage measuring functionality operative to measure at least one of a total row voltage generated by at least one row of the electricity generating elements in the array and a total column voltage generated by at least one column of the electricity generating elements in the array.

Abstract: A method for distributing content on demand over a cable network in which the subscribers are connected to a Central Unit in a hierarchical order of nodes, each node comprises a plurality of subscribers clusters. A Management System is provided at the Central Unit. Some of the subscribers within each cluster are provided with an STB, and the rest of the subscribers within each cluster are provided with an SSTB. Titles are transmitted from the Central Unit to the SSTBs, and stored within the SSTBs. A viewable list of the titles stored in all the SSTBs that are connected within the cluster of that subscriber is provided to each STB subscriber or SSTB subscriber. Whenever a subscriber selects a title for viewing from the viewable list, the selected title is transmitted to the STB or the SSTB of that subscriber from at least one of the SSTBs within the cluster of that subscriber which contain the title or a portion thereof.
