  • Patent number: 11777805
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a self-configuring network comprising one or more nodes each configured to provide wireless coverage to one or more transceivers. Some embodiments may: obtain a wireless propagation model, including environmental data; determine, via a computing device of the network, a set of optimal operating parameters using the obtained model and the environmental data; and configure, via the computing device, at least one of the one or more nodes with the set of optimal operating parameters. As a result, overall system performance on the larger macro scale may be maximized. That is, improving performance of only one or a few devices, on a micro-scale, may not be sufficient, as this may be achieved at the expense of harming performance of other devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6817401
    Abstract: A retrofit blind assembly for a doorlight. The assembly includes a frame, a transparent panel, and a blind snap-fitted to the frame. The blind actuator includes gears and a toothed belt for positive, non-slip actuation. A pair of blind guides are mounted on the opposite sides of the frame to receive and guide the opposite ends of the blind. The mounting system includes a pair of brackets that can be secured between the doorlight and the door and upon which the assembly can be hung. The mounting system also includes a pair of movable catches on the lower portion of the frame snap that can be locked behind the doorlight to secure the lower end of the assembly.
