  • Patent number: 10783772
    Abstract: A system for delivering power to a load includes a master control unit (MCU) communicatively connected to a wireless network. A remote control circuit is electrically connected to the MCU. The remote control unit delivers a signal of a first voltage to the MCU when the remote control unit is not receiving a command signal from a remote controller, and deliver a signal of a second voltage to the MCU when the remote control unit is receiving a command signal from the remote controller. A relay unit is electrically connected to the load and to an output of the MCU. The MCU is programmed to selectively power the load by selectively passing control signals to the relay unit in response to commands received from the wireless network. When no signals are received from the wireless network, the remote control circuit may control the load, either directly or via the MCU.

  • Publication number: 20200280902
    Abstract: A data transmission method and related apparatuses are disclosed. A sanding node transmits a plurality of data packets to a receiving node at an initial transmission rate. Each data packet carries a random sequence number and a rolling sequence number. The random sequence number identifies a data part of the data packet, and the rolling sequence number indicates a transmission sequence of the data packet. The sending node receives a packet loss feedback from the receiving node. The packet loss feedback is generated after the receiving node detects a packet loss event according to rolling sequence numbers of received data packets. The sending node determines a random sequence number of a lost data packet based on the received packet loss feedback. The sending node transmits a replacement data packet to the receiving node. The replacement data packet carries a different rolling sequence number.

  • Patent number: 10701616
    Abstract: A data transmission acceleration method and related apparatuses are disclosed. A sanding node transmits a plurality of data packets to a receiving node at an initial transmission rate. Each data packet carries a random sequence number and a rolling sequence number. The random sequence number identifies a data part of the data packet, and the rolling sequence number indicates a transmission sequence of the data packet. The sending node receives a packet loss feedback from the receiving node. The packet loss feedback is generated after the receiving node detects a packet loss event according to a rolling sequence number of a received data packet. The sending node determines a random sequence number of a lost data packet based on the received packet loss feedback. The sending node retransmits a data packet corresponding to the determined random sequence number. The retransmitted data packet carries a new rolling sequence number.
