Abstract: In an AR environment in which the pointing direction of the video camera is slaved to field technician motion to capture a video signal within a camera FOV of an object at arm's length from the technician and remotely-generated hand gestures for manipulation of the object are overlaid on the video signal to instruct the technician in manipulation of the object, a customer-defined key code and FOV limitations are used to exclude portions of a scene for data capture and transmission compliance. If the video camera pointing direction does not satisfy an alignment condition to a marker in the scene, the camera is controlled to exclude at least a portion of the camera FOV that lies outside a user-defined allowable FOV from capture within the video signal. The customer-defined key code includes at least technician identification, marker pairing and specified tolerance fields that define the allowable FOV.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transmitting, from a radio, over a router-to-radio interface, a first transmission-on signal indicating to a router that data packets can be sent to the radio for transmission in a network, and transmitting, from the radio over the router-to-radio interface, a first transmission-off signal indicating to the router that data packet transmission should be suspended until receipt of a second transmission-on signal, wherein the first transmission-on signal and the first transmission-off signal are generated in a network layer of the seven-layer OSI model.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring nodes in a network are provided. A circular list of bins is maintained and each bin stores identifiers to zero or more nodes to be monitored. At periodic intervals, the nodes specified by a bin are processed such as by sending a polling message to the node. Additionally, responses from polling messages can also be processed at periodic intervals.
