Abstract: Various embodiments that relate to local communication are discussed. A radio from one geographical area can enter a communication environment of a different geographical area. However, if the radio still functions consistent with the previous geographical area, then the radio will not blend into the new geographical area. Therefore, the radio can alter operational characteristics when entering the new geographical area such that the radio blends into the new geographical area from a radio frequency perspective.

Abstract: Various embodiments that pertain to a bridge between networks. There can be a desire for a first communication network to share messages with a second communication network. However, these networks can individually have their own security measures that make direct network-to-network communication difficult if not impossible. Therefore, a bridge can be created that allows for communication between the networks.

Abstract: A device that comprises a first semiconductor die and a second semiconductor die. The first semiconductor die comprises a first clock signal generator. The second semiconductor die comprises a fault detection circuit, the fault detection circuit comprising a second clock signal generator, a first counter coupled to the second clock signal generator, multiple storage devices coupled to the second clock signal generator and to the first counter, a logic gate coupled to the multiple storage devices, a second counter coupled to the logic gate and to the first clock signal generator, and a comparator coupled to the logic gate and the second counter.

Abstract: A stock supply assembly for a dunnage conversion machine includes a stock material support having a support structure, such as a shelf for a stack of fan-folded sheet stock material. The shelf is movable between a relatively lower loading position and a relatively higher operating position vertically displaced relative to the loading position. In the process, the support structure maintains a consistent orientation as the support structure moves between the loading position and the operating position.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a rapid deployment communications tile. As opposed to running various data and/or power wires, a construction crew can use set of tiles that have built in data and/or power transmission capabilities. These tiles can be keyed such that they interlock together to form a relatively uniform surface, such that the surface can also be used as a floor. Further, the tiles can have hardware components that enable the data and/or power transmission capabilities. These hardware components can be environmentally protected such that their performance is not subject to environmental factors.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to directing of a signal. An incoming signal can be compared to a threshold voltage. If the signal does not meet the threshold voltage, then the signal can be used for normal usage, such as communication with a software-defined radio. However, if the signal does meet the threshold, then the signal can be directed away from normal usage. In one example, the signal can be directed away from a communication component and directed to an energy harvesting component that charges a battery of the software-defined radio.

Abstract: A system for extracting energy from an energy storage device configured to supply direct current (DC) energy at a nominal voltage rating comprises a first node dimensioned and arranged to receive direct current energy from the energy storage device. Embodiments include a self-oscillating circuit having primary and secondary windings wound around a ferrite core, wherein a positive terminal of the primary winding is tied to the negative terminal of the secondary winding at the first node, and wherein a positive terminal of the secondary winding is coupled to a second node, the second node being coupled to a load requiring power to be supplied at one of a voltage less than, equal to, or higher than the nominal voltage. Some embodiments further include a transistor having a base resistively coupled to a negative terminal of the primary winding and a collector coupled to the second node.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a smart card. When not connected to an external system, such as a laptop computer, the smart card can be configured to power itself. Thus, various functions can be practiced on the smart card in absence of connection to the external system. Example functions of the smart card can include user identification and authorization. In addition, the smart card can be configured to distinguish between different users and provide different access levels to different users and/or difference access to containers resident within the smart card. This can be done prior to when the smart card is connected to the external system.
