Abstract: A free floating wave energy converter includes at least one flexible pipe, adapted to float at a surface of a body of water, having an inlet end for receiving alternating slugs of water and air when the pipe is moored facing at an angle to a wave direction in the body of water and having an outlet end in fluid communication with a power takeoff and other devices, a plurality of supports attached to the pipe at spaced apart locations, each of the supports extending traverse to a longitudinal axis of the pipe and outwardly in opposite directions and at least two inflatable tubes attached to the supports on opposite sides of the pipe extending longitudinally substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipe, wherein the pipe is raised and lowered relative to the surface of the water by respectively inflating and deflating the tubes with a gas.

Abstract: A wireless detection device receives a user input indicating at least one wireless communication network service. The detection device processes the user input to select a pseudo-pilot signal configuration. The detection device wirelessly transmits a pseudo-pilot signal having the selected pseudo-pilot signal configuration. The detection device wirelessly receives a device identifier from a wireless communication device responsive to the pseudo-pilot signal. The detection device stores data indicating the device identifier and a time when the device identifier was received from the wireless communication device. The detection device may transfer the data to a control system or display the data to the user.

Abstract: A free floating wave energy converter includes a flexible pine and an inlet. The flexible pipe floats on water surface, following the wave form. Slugs of water and air enter, one after the other, through the inlet. Because the flexible pipe follows the shape of the wave, water is transported through a manifold to a pressure chamber connected to a generator. The inlet consists of hollow, inflexible pipe attached to the throat of the flexible pipe. The inflexible pipe is fixedly attached to a buoyancy tank or plurality thereof. The buoyancy tanks are arranged in a vertical plane or in tandem, with the inflexible pipe passing along the plane vertical to the fore and aft axis of the buoyancy tank and the frontward portion projecting sufficiently ahead of the buoyancy tank with the flexible pipe terminating at a singular outlet.

Abstract: Wireless networks comprise base stations that each have communication ports. The wireless networks exchange media with user devices through the communication ports. The wireless networks are identified by Ethernet OUIs, and the base stations and ports are identified by unique codes. An Ethernet backhaul network exchanges the media in Ethernet frames between the communication ports. The Ethernet backhaul network routes the Ethernet frames based on MAC addresses that indicate a destination OUI, a destination base station code, a destination port code, a source OUI, a source base station code, and a source port code.
