  • Publication number: 20200099744
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coordinating inter-region operations in provider networks. An inter-region coordinator (IRC) operates asynchronously to the control planes of regional networks to coordinate inter-region operations. The IRC in a region may include one or more IRC servers. To perform inter-region operations, the servers may implement a local-remote-local method in which a server invokes an API in the local region to get work, sends the work to a control plane of a remote region, receives a response from the remote region, and informs the control plane in the local region of the status of the work.

  • Patent number: 10401319
    Abstract: A structural health monitoring system may include a structural health monitoring device comprising a measuring circuit attachable to a target area of a workpiece. The measuring circuit may be communication with a radio circuit having an antenna configured to facilitate offboard communication. The measuring circuit may be configured to measure an impedance of the target area of the workpiece, and the processing circuit may be configured to determine a change in the impedance of the target area indicative of a change in structural health of the workpiece. An ambient energy harvester circuit may be configured to provide electrical power to the measuring circuit. A remote reader may wirelessly interrogate the structural health monitoring device to obtain information regarding the change in the impedance of the target area.

  • Publication number: 20190060126
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a wound includes a wound dressing configured to cover a wound surface of the wound, one or more sensing devices attached to the wound dressing, a network interface hardware, and a controller. The controller includes one or more processors, and one or more memory modules storing computer readable and executable instructions. The controller receives data measured by the one or more sensing devices, determines whether an infection is likely to occur based on the data measured by the one or more sensing devices, and outputs an alert, through the network interface hardware, in response to determining that the infection is likely to occur.

  • Patent number: 10075922
    Abstract: A method of conserving battery power of mobile devices within a location-based group starts with server receiving location data and proximity information from each of the mobile devices. Location data received from first mobile device includes the first mobile device's location. Proximity information received from first mobile device includes an identification of mobile devices within a predetermined radius of first mobile device's location. Server identifies based on location data and proximity information a specific location and forms a subgroup of mobile devices that are within a predetermined radius of the specific location. Server queries and receives a level of power associated with each mobile devices in the subgroup and transmits control signals to each mobile devices in the subgroup to shut down radio functions based on the level of power. Other embodiments are also described.
