Abstract: A system includes a plurality of thermostats corresponding to a plurality of HVAC systems that serve a plurality of spaces and a computing system communicable with the plurality of thermostats via a network. The computing system is configured to, for each space of the plurality of spaces, obtain a set of training data relating to thermal behavior of the space, identify a model of thermal behavior of the space based on the set of training data, perform a model predictive control process using the model of thermal behavior of the space to obtain a temperature setpoint for the space, and provide the temperature setpoint to the thermostat corresponding to the HVAC system serving the space. The plurality of thermostats are configured to control the plurality of HVAC systems in accordance with the temperature setpoints.

Abstract: Provided are a call deflection and response system and method, wherein a voice call from a caller device is received, a skill group is determined to resolve an issue associated with the call, and a text response to the issue is sent to the caller device, providing a context-based personalized response. A caller leaves a detailed voicemail explaining an issue needing resolution, which is electronically transcribed and then run through a classifier to determine concepts and intents associated with the call. Based on the concepts and intents, responsibility for the call and associated files are transferred to a particular skill group on a chat platform for resolution. A chat entity from the appropriate skill group determines and provides an issue response via text message to the caller device, e.g., to the caller's mobile phone.

Abstract: A wireless network having an architecture that resembles a peer-to-peer network has two types of nodes, a first sender type node and a second receiver/relay type node. The network may be used in a medical instrumentation environment whereby the first type node may be wireless devices that could monitor physical parameters of a patient such as for example wireless oximeters. The second type node are mobile wireless communicators that are adapted to receive the data from the wireless devices if they are within the transmission range of the wireless devices. After an aggregation process involving the received data, each of the node communicators broadcasts or disseminates its most up to date data onto the network. Any other relay communicator node in the network that is within the broadcast range of a broadcasting communicator node would receive the up to date data.

Abstract: A method for processing partial lines of image data from a detector, each partial line of data representing a portion of an image pixel matrix, includes: (a) communicating partial lines of image data over a network from an imaging system to a remote facility; (b) receiving partial lines of image data in a first sequence; (c) assigning to each partial line of image data in a first series a position in a second sequence by reference to a plurality of base addresses; (d) altering the base addresses; and (e) assigning to each partial line of image data in a second series a position in the second sequence by reference to the altered base addresses.

Abstract: Partial lines of data representative of adjacent pixels in an image pixel matrix are reordered to facilitate reconstitution of a scanned image. The partial lines are received by a signal processing circuit and are assigned unique addresses by reference to base address and offset values. Each partial line is then stored in a memory address corresponding to the assigned address. The values of the base addresses and offsets may be altered to accommodate different image matrix sizes and scanning patterns.
