  • Establishing a Mesh Network
    Publication number: 20130279409
    Abstract: Establishing a mesh network. A gateway in the mesh network may broadcast a wireless message to neighboring nodes of the gateway in the mesh network. The neighboring nodes may store first hop count information based on the wireless message received from the gateway. The neighboring nodes may each broadcast the wireless message to other neighboring nodes in the wireless mesh network. The other neighboring nodes may store second hop count information based on the received messages from the respective neighboring nodes. The second hop count information may indicate a greater hop count than the first hop count information. The first hop count information and the second hop count information may be used to establish routes from nodes to gateways in subsequent communications in the mesh network.

  • Automatic Monitoring and Adjustment of a Solar Panel Array
    Publication number: 20120310427
    Abstract: Automatically determining issues associated with a photovoltaic (PV) system. Information regarding the PV system may be stored. The information may include logical information regarding a logical configuration of the PV system and physical information regarding a physical layout of the PV system. Measurement data regarding the PV system may be received. The measurement data regarding the PV system may be automatically analyzed using the logical information and the physical information. An indication of any issues determined by said analyzing may be automatically provided.
