  • Patent number: 11916793
    Abstract: The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.

  • Publication number: 20150169835
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assessing a patient is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes displaying a first set of queries concerning a patient and receiving a response to at least one of the queries, the response indicating that the patient has recently experienced at least one of (i) losing consciousness, (ii) falling, and (iii) being uncertain about whether the patient has lost consciousness. Processing of responses to further query sets can be utilized to determine a differential diagnosis and recommendations regarding hospital admission, treatment, follow-up medical tests, and billing codes for the patient's condition that may have led to her faint or fall.

  • Patent number: 8551263
    Abstract: A method of reducing whisker growths includes identifying a solder connection to be treated. The solder connection may contain one or more whisker growths. A heat source is applied at a defined temperature to the solder connection for a defined period of time sufficient to melt at least a portion of the one or more whisker growths. The heat source is removed from the solder connection prior to the melting of the solder connection.

  • Patent number: 7660263
    Abstract: A system and method for graphically representing associations between wireless network devices in a way that visually indicates the maximum amount of throughput between the associated devices, as well as a channel that is currently selected for communications between the associated devices. The thickness of a line between the associated devices may indicate the maximum throughput between the devices, whereas the color of the line may indicate the channel on which the associated devices are currently communicating. Other visual characteristics of lines generated between associated devices may be used to visually represent maximum possible throughput and current channel selection. Associations between the devices in the wireless network may be determined by checking a list of associated stations maintained in each access point.
