Abstract: A telehealth communications network accessible anywhere sufficient bandwidth connection is available facilitates a medical encounter between a patient at a patient site and a provider at a provider site remotely located from the patient, and includes an operating console comprising at least one memory and at least one processor coupled to the network, the operating console configured to execute at least one workflow for facilitating the medical encounter.

Abstract: Mechanisms and techniques provide for authenticating devices in a network such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Network between control stations and one or more transceivers. A transceiver receives transceiver configuration information including a network address and transceiver authentication credentials and receives an authentication request from the control station. The transceiver applies authentication processing to request information within the authentication request in conjunction with the transceiver authentication credentials to produce an authentication response and transmits the authentication response to the control station to allow the control station to determine if the transceiver is authorized to communicate within the remote identification system.

Abstract: Deployment of an RFID system in a business entails a thorough analysis of the 3-dimensional topography in which it is deployed. A deployment field may have multiple floors, multiple entries, multiple exits, and multiple zones and fronts. A graphical deployment application, or visual design tool, provides a graphical representation of the deployment area. Such an application allows visual manipulation of the RFID components in the area to generate realtime graphical feedback about the operation of the dynamically configured deployment. The graphical user interface (GUI) based application receives parameters and variables defining the deployment area and the attributes of the transceivers and transponders for deployment therein. The application identifies a zone of readability of transponders in an area and visually displays such a zone along with the RFID components to determine placement of transceivers accordingly.
