Abstract: An asset management system includes a sensor that detects asset tags to acquire asset geolocation codes of a plurality of assets in a geographic area. The asset management system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to an image sensor that receives the asset geolocation codes of the plurality of assets, receives the image data, generates a model of the geographic area using locations associated with the asset geolocation codes and the image data to place the plurality of assets in the model, and determines a geographic distance between a first asset and a second asset of the plurality of assets using the model.

Abstract: A system and method for selectively delivering sensitive messages to primary and companion devices associated with a user account. When a message containing sensitive information is received, it may be delivered to a designated primary device. After confirming delivery to the primary device, a placeholder message may be sent to companion devices, notifying the user of the sensitive message without revealing its contents.

Abstract: A low power long range transceiver is presented. The transceiver includes: an antenna configured to receive an RF signal; an analog front-end circuit configured to receive the RF signal from the antenna and pre-condition the RF signal by at least one of amplify the RF signal, shift frequency of the RF signal and filter the RF signal; and a demodulator configured to receive the preconditioned signal from the front-end circuit and an assertion trigger signal signifying an end of a predefined time period, where the demodulator, in response to the assertion trigger signal, outputs a data value for a given data bit in the RF signal. A controller is also configured to receive the assertion trigger signal and, in response to the assertion trigger signal, disables at least one component of the transceiver, thereby reducing power consumption.
