Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting false alarms are disclosed. An indication may be received that a sensor device has changed state. Data indicative of movement of the sensor device may also be received. Based on the received data indicative of movement of the sensor device, it may be determined whether the movement of the sensor device is abnormal. Based on the changed state of the sensor device and based on determining that the movement of the sensor device is abnormal, an indication of a false alarm may be caused to be output.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for optimization of Packet Traffic Arbitration mechanisms. Enabling intelligent packet traffic arbitration may comprise allocating network resources based on various criteria for transmissions across overlapping channels. These criteria may be weighted to determine whether to enable arbitration mechanisms to prioritize the lower-power transmissions while avoiding latency in the higher-power transmissions.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for improving the coexistence between wireless communications via different protocols. Values for parameters associated with communications via a first protocol and/or values for parameters associated with communications via a second protocol may be used to select a coexistence configuration (e.g., pulse-width modulation). The coexistence configuration may be applied to communications via the first protocol.

Abstract: A multiway switching device may comprise a wireless device in communication with a relay and a manual switch of the device. A toggle state of the relay may be indicative of an electrical configuration between conductors and rectifier circuits of the multiway switching device. The wireless device may receive, from the manual switch or from an external device, a signal indicative of a modification to the toggle state of the relay. Based on the signal, the wireless device may cause the modification to the toggle state of the relay. The wireless device may cause output of a status signal indicative of the modification to the toggle state of the relay.

Abstract: Transmit-side active signal management circuitry applies one or more active signal management processes to a digital signal at a transmit side of an interconnect. At the receive side of the interconnect, receive-side active signal management circuitry applies one or more corresponding active signal management processes, as appropriate, to the received digital signal to recover the information represented by the original digital signal. The interconnect can include a cable used to transmit the signals between a source device and a destination device, whereby one or both of the transmit-side active signal management circuitry and the receive-side active signal management circuitry is implemented at a corresponding cable receptacle of the cable. Alternately, one or both of the transmit-side active signal management circuitry and the receive-side active signal management circuitry can be implemented at a cable adaptor, thereby permitting the use of a passive cable interconnect to transmit the signal.
