Publication number: 20200057164Abstract: A wireless tracking device operating in at least two modes to reduce power consumption and extend the operable period of the wireless tracking device. In an active mode, the wireless tracking device samples sensor signals at a higher resolution and may also actively communicate with a remote device via wireless connection. In a hibernation mode, most of the components or modules in the wireless tracking device are shut down to reduce power consumption. The wireless tracking device may switch to the active mode when a predetermine event is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc.Inventors: Martin TURON, Xin YANG, Michael P.

Patent number: 10563984Abstract: An angular rate sensor has a ring, a plurality of sensor-drivers, circuitry, a controller, an energy sensor, and an output signal generator. The sensors-drivers may be capacitors, inductors, or a sensor having a piezoelectric material. The sensor-drivers each have a component that vibrates along with the ring, and the sensor-drivers are arranged in cooperating sets, each cooperating set having two sensor-drivers positioned 180° apart. The circuitry can selectively engage some of the cooperating sets as sensors and others of the cooperating sets as drivers. Those sets used as sensors sense motion of the ring. Those sets used as drivers apply forces to the ring. Some of the drivers cause the ring to vibrate at its natural frequency, and some of the drivers seek to inhibit motion of the ring at particular locations. Locations at which drivers seek to inhibit motion are those locations that would be nodes in the absence of angular motion.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Moog Inc.Inventors: Michael Tracy, Martin Turon, Derek Tat

Patent number: 10567280Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a router registers an address for an end device and assigns a child identifier to the end device. The router encodes an endpoint identifier of the end device, and a router identifier of the router into an Endpoint Identifier, which the router incorporates into a Routing Locator (RLOC) for the end device. The router responds to address queries and receives data packets on behalf of the end device. The router stores the data packets for the end device until the router can forward the data packets to the end device.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Publication number: 20190394743Abstract: In embodiments of distributed coordination of mesh network configuration updates, pending commissioning datasets are managed and distributed to coordinate configuration changes of parameters that control participation in, and secure communication over, a mesh network. Pending network commissioning datasets are managed across fragmentation of the mesh network into multiple partitions and subsequent merging of the fragments to ensure that the most recent updates to pending commissioning datasets are propagated to mesh network devices and that all mesh network devices will receive pending commissioning datasets before the time that the pending commissioning dataset becomes the active commissioning dataset for the mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Publication number: 20190281496Abstract: In aspects of packet segmentation and reassembly for mesh networks, a source node in a mesh network segments an access protocol data unit (PDU) into a set of segments that are concatenated with a segment transport header and transmitted over the mesh network in segmented access messages to a destination node. The destination node allocates memory to store the content of the access PDU based on a segment total field in the segment transport header, and stores each received segment at the appropriate offset in the allocated memory, based on a value of a segment offset filed in each segmented access message. The destination node transmits a segment acknowledgement message including a segment acknowledgement field indicating which of the multiple segments have been received by the destination node.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: Google LLCInventor: Martin A.

Publication number: 20190159006Abstract: In embodiments of virtual addressing for mesh networks, a node in a mesh network publishes packets and/or subscribes to packets using a virtual address that is derived from a unique identifier. The unique identifier has a larger address space than the destination address field of the packet. The unique identifier and an application key are hashed to elide the unique identifier from the destination address that is transmitted in the packet over the mesh network. A node receiving the packet can determine that the address is a virtual address, and disambiguate the destination address to determine that the virtual address corresponds to a unique identifier known to the receiving node.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Applicant: Google LLCInventor: Martin A.

Patent number: 9999090Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a commissioning device of a mesh network can determine steering data for the mesh network, where the steering data is an indication of a device identifier associated with a device that is allowed to join the mesh network. The commissioning device can then propagate the steering data from the commissioning device for the mesh network to one or more routers in the mesh network, and the steering data indicates that a commissioner is active on the mesh network. The commissioning device propagating the steering data enables the one or more routers to transmit the steering data in a beacon message, and the steering data is effective to enable the device associated with the device identifier to identify that the device is allowed to join the mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Martin A.
