Abstract: Described herein are techniques for a system to track usage of a software application on a remote device, without having connectivity to the remote device. The system transmits an activation token to a computing device different from the remote device to activate the software application, and receives a deactivation token generated by the remote device from the computing device when the software application is deactivated. The system uses transmission of an activation token and receipt of a deactivation token as indicators of start and end times of use of the software application. For example, the system uses the indicated start and end times to determine a billing period for use of the software application.

Abstract: Wireless sensor nodes for enabling network connectivity in a wireless sensor network system are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes receiving a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LWM2M) network packet from a network node over a network; using a media access control (MAC) layer to route the LWM2M network packet to a sensor node when a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address specified in the LWM2M network packet matches a virtual IP address; and using a network layer to route the LWM2M network packet to the sensor node when the destination IP address does not match a virtual IP address.

Abstract: An adaptive self-configuring sensor node is disclosed herein. The node is associated with one or more sensor, and can include a microcontroller unit (MCU), sensors and a wired/wireless communication module (e.g., transceiver) to communicate the data collected by the sensors. Sensor node software running on the CPU can be adaptively reconfigured based on the sensors connected with the node, and using configuration data that is read from a non-volatile memory (NVM). The NVM can further store loadable sensor device specific data acquisition and processing (DAP) routines corresponding to one or more of the sensors, which can be executed to configure a sensor or cause collection or processing of sensor data.
