  • Patent number: 11943643
    Abstract: An access point (AP) and a station (STA) communicate with each other, with the AP indicating to the STA either or both of a preamble detection (PD) channel and a signaling (SIG) content channel and with the STA being initially monitoring a primary frequency segment of a plurality of frequency segments in an operating bandwidth of the AP. A downlink (DL) or triggered uplink (UL) communication is performed between the AP and the STA during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) such that: (i) during the TXOP, the STA monitors a preamble on the PD channel and decodes a SIG content on the SIG content channel; and (ii) after an end of the TXOP, the STA switches to the primary frequency segment.

  • Publication number: 20140340512
    Abstract: When analyzing video frames captured for monitoring the IV dripping process, dew droplets could exist in the image. We discussed image processing methods to remove the dew droplets from the background, including computing the difference between frames and averaging to get a proper background image. We also discussed various methods to keep the temperature of some areas of the inner surface of the drip chamber to be above the dew points in order to prevent dew droplets' formation or to remove them. In the end we showed how video of the dripping process could be shown on external display(s) for devices enclosing the drip chamber inside.
