  • Publication number: 20130223345
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for compressing block acknowledgment (ACK) frames/packets are described herein. In some aspects, a method of communicating in a wireless network includes generating a block acknowledgment frame comprising a plurality of fields in the following order: a block acknowledgment identifier field including an identifier of the block acknowledgment frame; a starting sequence control field including at least one of a sequence number and a function of a sequence number of a data unit for which the block acknowledgement frame is sent; and a block acknowledgement bitmap field indicating a received status of a number of data units. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting the block acknowledgment frame.

  • Publication number: 20130110450
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing technologies. In particular, aspects of the disclosure relate to mobile computing device technologies, such as systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for improving orientation data. In one embodiment, techniques are described for filtering data associated with a first sensor coupled to a computing device, by receiving a signal from the first sensor, detecting a change in a variability of a first signal parameter from a plurality of signal parameters from the signal, and adjusting, based at least in part on the detected change in the variability of the first signal parameter, at least one filter parameter of a filter used to filter a second signal parameter from the signal.

  • Publication number: 20130110439
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing technologies. In particular, aspects of the disclosure relate to mobile computing device technologies, such as systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for improving orientation data. In some embodiments, a magnetic vector filter receives magnetometer data from a magnetometer and gyroscope data from a gyroscope and determines the magnetic vector using the magnetometer data and the gyroscope data in the magnetic vector filter. In other embodiments, a gravity vector filter receives accelerometer data and gyroscope data and determines the gravity vector using the accelerometer data and the gyroscope data in the gravity vector filter.

  • Publication number: 20130106697
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing technologies. In particular, aspects of the disclosure relate to mobile computing device technologies, such as systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for improving orientation data. In one embodiment, the orientation data is generated based on information synchronized to a common sensor input from a plurality of sensor inputs. In one implementation, the common sensor input is from a gyroscope. Furthermore, techniques are provided for improved and novel methods of presenting orientation data to an application layer.

  • Publication number: 20130102963
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for secure automatic configuration of equipment through replication. One example method generally includes receiving a request for configuration information used to configure at least a first device to be replicated in at least a second device; and communicating the configuration information to the second device, in response to the request. At least one of the first and second wireless devices may be a medical device, and/or the configuration information may include patient treatment information. In this manner, the amount of configuration data entry by a caregiver and the number of errors in this configuration data are most likely considerably reduced. Furthermore, in an emergency, a common medical treatment may be easily configured for many patients at once (i.e., the configuration information may be easily replicated from patient device to patient device).
