  • Patent number: 9106474
    Abstract: System and method for streaming data. A host device that includes a server may acquire data from a data source. The server may receive a request for data from at least one client device over a network via a lossless transmission protocol, wherein the request may specify a range of data to stream to the at least one client device. The server may stream the data over the network to the at least one client device via the lossless transmission protocol in accordance with the request. The at least one client device may receive and process the streamed data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110286386
    Abstract: System and method for transmitting data over a wireless medium. A wireless sensor node receives data from at least one sensor, where the data include a plurality of data sets. For each data set: the wireless sensor node compares the size of the data set with a specified packet size, and if the size of the data set exceeds the specified packet size, transmits a plurality of packets containing respective portions of the data set to a gateway device over a wireless medium. If the size of the data set does not exceed the specified packet size, then a packet containing the data set is transmitted to the gateway device over the wireless medium.

  • Patent number: 7293112
    Abstract: A display node in a graphical program may be used to automatically transfer an image from an embedded device lacking display capabilities to another device having a display. A method for displaying an image involves creating a graphical program on a display in response to user input and executing the graphical program on a first embedded system. The graphical program may include a first node for acquiring an image and a second node for displaying the image. If the first embedded system is coupled to a second system having a display device, executing the graphical program involves the second node transferring the image to the second system and directing the second system to display the image on the display device of the second system. If the first embedded system is not coupled to a second system having a display device, the second node may perform no display operation during execution.
