Patent number: 9107194Abstract: In an embodiment, a wireless data exchange network includes a wireless device (WD) operating under a wireless network communications protocol, a wireless access point (AP), operatively linked to the WD and a wired network, and operating under the wireless network communications protocol, and a wireless mobile device (WMD) capable of operatively linking with the WD and the AP, and operating under the network communications protocol. In another embodiment, a method for dynamically establishing a wireless data link between the WD and the AP wherein the WMD functions as a bridge there between, where the method may include determining the state of the data exchange link between the WD and the AP, selectively receiving and retransmitting data, by the WMD, from the WD to the AP and from the AP to the WD; and maintaining the wireless network communications protocol of the WMD during reception and retransmission of data between itself and the WD or the AP.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Crimson CorporationInventor: Roy Morris

Patent number: 8787576Abstract: Unauthorized wireless access points are detected by configuring authorized access points and mobile units to listen to all wireless traffic in its cell and report all detected wireless devices to a monitor. The monitor checks the reported devices against a list of authorized network devices. If the reported wireless device is not an authorized device, the monitor determines if the reported device is connected to the network. If the reported device is connected to the network and is not an authorized device, the monitor alerts the network operator or network manager of a rogue device connected to the network and attempts to locate and isolate the rogue device.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Crimson CorporationInventors: Robert Whelan, Lamar Van Wagenen, Roy Morris

Patent number: 7606242Abstract: The present invention allows any number of mobile units to roam between a large numbers of sub-networks, each with a large number of access points (tens of thousands or more total access points), with minimal direct administration effort. A hierarchy of management servers may be used across the multiple sub-networks, which can be under the control of multiple entities. The invention provides the capability for the mobile units to authenticate the access points associated with, to ensure they are both authorized and managed. Peer-to-peer and ad hoc associations between mobile units are managed as well.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2002Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Wavelink CorporationInventors: Robert Whelan, Lamar Van Wagenen, Roy Morris

Patent number: 7522906Abstract: A system for enforcing configuration requirements for hardware and software on mobile units operating on Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The system allows the configuration policy to change dynamically with the access point or sub-network association. Whenever a mobile unit connects to a new sub-network or access point, the system invokes and then verifies the proper configuration profile for that sub-network or access point. Thus the system ensures the configuration of the mobile unit meets the requirements for the sub-network being used.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2002Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Wavelink CorporationInventors: Robert Whelan, Lamar van Wagenen, Roy Morris

Patent number: 7133526Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that overcome deficiencies of prior art IEEE 802.11 WEP key management schemes. Preferred embodiments of the present system and method update WEP keys and rotate transmission key indices in a synchronized manner and on a frequent basis making it impractical for a hacker to gather sufficient network traffic using any one WEP key to decrypt that key and without disrupting communications. Preferred embodiments of the present system and method do not require changes in access point or mobile unit hardware, radio drivers, or firmware and are therefore compatible with existing or legacy network infrastructure or components. The disclosed system and method may be used to facilitate secure communications between one or more access points and one or more mobile units and/or groups of two or more mobile units engaging in peer-to-peer associations.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2005Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Wavelink CorporationInventors: Robert Whelan, Lamar Van Wagenen, Roy Morris, Gilbert Wellisch

Patent number: 7069333Abstract: A mobile field system comprises a service center that is connected to the office of a field service organization and number of customers of the field service organization via the Internet or another computer network. The service center is also connected to the mobile systems of technicians who work for the field service organization by a mobile communications system such as a wireless Internet service provider. One or more message queues may be used to increase the reliability of communications between the systems. By using such a queue, messages may not be lost and the communications can be made transparent to the user of the remote system.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2000Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: FieldCentrix, Inc.Inventors: Roy Morris, Albert Lin, Brett Knox

Patent number: 7029504Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing calcium nitrate granules. A calcium nitrate melt is sprayed into a re-circulating bed of a first fluidized bed granulator, wherein the re-circulating bed is supplied with air that has been conditioned and heated to a temperature of between 60° C. and 100° C. Calcium nitrate granulates formed in the granulator are introduced to a primary cooler in the form of a second fluidized bed where the granules are cooled to from 50° C. to 60° C. by conditioned air. The granules are sorted in a sorter and then cooled in a secondary cooler to a temperature of less than 40° C. before being bagged. The granules so produced are hard and dry and do not break down easily during handling.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2001Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Omnia Fertilizer LimitedInventors: Dirk Renier Hendrik Rabie, Wilfred Roy Morris, Johannes Petrus Gysbert Eygelaar
