  • Patent number: 12022574
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising receiving, by a processor of at least one sensor device, a signal from a sensor element of the at least one sensor device, wherein the sensor element is configured to sense a physical phenomenon, wherein the signal is indicative of the physical phenomenon as sensed by the sensor element; determining, by the processor of the at least one sensor device, whether a level of the signal is indicative of an alarm condition; and using a cellular radio of the at least one sensor device to send a notification directly to a cloud system in response to the level of the signal being indicative of the alarm condition.

  • Publication number: 20070101193
    Abstract: A network of microcontrollers for monitoring and diagnosing the environmental conditions of a computer is disclosed. The network of microcontrollers provides a management system by which computer users can accurately gauge the health of their computer. The network of microcontrollers provides users the ability to detect system fan speeds, internal temperatures and voltage levels. The invention is designed to not only be resilient to faults, but also allows for the system maintenance, modification, and growth—without downtime. Additionally, the present invention allows users to replace failed components, and add new functionality, such as new network interfaces, disk interface cards and storage, without impacting existing users. One of the primary roles of the present invention is to manage the environment without outside involvement. This self-management allows the system to continue to operate even though components have failed.

  • Publication number: 20020013906
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining controlled information delivery of many kinds from a test taker. In one aspect, the system and method provide a medical test device delivery, retrieval and data distribution system in a secure and efficient format. In this aspect, the method comprises: transmitting a data collector to an end user; collecting the data collector from the end user; and transmitting user data from the collector to authorized users. The step of transmitting may comprise shipping a medical test device to a patient, and may further comprise the sub-steps of accepting a request to ship a device from a requesting user; and communicating with a shipper directing shipment to the end user. In the aforementioned method, the user must be authorized to make the request for the shipment. The method may further comprise distributing the results of the test to the user via a combination of public and/or private networks.
