Abstract: A wireless device is configured to receive scheduling information at a predetermined time interval from a wireless node. The scheduling information includes a plurality of reception definitions. Each reception definition indicates a reception start time, a reception duration, and assigned frequency information. Each reception definition is derived from a wireless device identification associated with the reception definition. The wireless device is configured to receive data associated with at least one of the reception definitions.

Abstract: A wireless device may directly transmit and receive data using carrier sense multiple access and receive an indication of an operating mode of the at least one other wireless device for power saving. The wireless device may transmit a message with scheduling information indicating times that the wireless device is awake, wherein the message includes a duration field and a count field.

Abstract: A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.

Abstract: A modular furniture assembly comprising first and second members (e.g., base and transverse member) may have convenient dual coupling mechanisms, for example, a magnetic coupling mechanism and a mechanical (e.g., hook and loop) coupling mechanism. The first member and/or second member may include a fabric or other cover over a foam or other body (e.g., fabric over foam, or other cover over a skeleton). Either or both members may include a rigid core (e.g., a board, skeleton, etc.). The coupling mechanisms may be such as to not detract from any soft, cushioned characteristics of a fabric over foam construction, if such is provided. The coupling structure in the first member and/or the second member may be tethered to the rigid core of the particular member to reduce tenting of the fabric or other cover of the first member and/or the second member as the tethered coupling structure is pulled.

Abstract: A wireless apparatus may receive scheduling definitions from a networking device. The wireless apparatus may determine, from the scheduling definitions, downlink transmission times and to start a timer at one of the determined downlink transmission times. The wireless apparatus may discontinue reception at expiration of the timer. The wireless apparatus may also, in response to reception of a downlink transmission, transmit an acknowledgement and to discontinue reception before the timer has expired.

Abstract: A modular shelving system includes at least two elongate U-shaped members, wherein each of the elongate U-shaped members includes: an elongate body member; and first and second parallel elongate leg members extending transversely in the same direction away from opposing ends of the elongate body member with space between the first and second parallel leg members, wherein the length A of the elongate U-shaped member is equal to twice the height B of the first side of the elongate U-shaped member, plus twice the height C of the second side of the elongate U-shaped member, such that A=2B+2C.

Abstract: A wireless apparatus utilizes a wireless transceiver, in communication with a processor, to transmit and receive messages via a wireless network. The wireless transceiver may receive a schedule definition for devices affiliated with a node of the wireless network. The processor may determine, from the received schedule definition, one or more time periods allocated to the wireless apparatus. The wireless transceiver may communicate with the wireless network in accordance with at least one of the one or more time periods.

Abstract: A system for conserving energy in a multi-node network (110) includes nodes (205) configured to organize themselves into tiers (305, 310,315). The nodes (205) are further configured to produce a transmit/receive schedule at a first tier (310) in the network (110) and control the powering-on and powering-off of transmitters and receivers in nodes (205) in a tier adjacent (315) to the first tier (310) according to the transmit/receive schedule.

Abstract: A system stores pedigrees that include details of how and when each of multiple blocks of encryption key material were distributed between two endpoints using quantum cryptographic techniques. The system receives an indication of a possible quantum cryptographic security violation and accesses the stored pedigrees to identify one or more of the multiple blocks of encryption key material that may have been compromised.
