  • Patent number: 10680853
    Abstract: A system for combining wireless sensor networks includes a first sink transmitting a request to combine (RTC) and first routing-information. First nodes propagate data and instructions in a first wireless sensor network. The first nodes broadcast the RTC when the first nodes are boundary nodes. The first routing-information are established based on first transmission paths between the first sink and the first nodes. A second sink receives the RTC and the first routing-information from the first sink. The second sink transmits second routing-information to the first sink. The second routing-information are established based on second transmission paths between the second sink and the second nodes. The second node relays the RTC to the second sink according to a flag in a packet of the RTC. The first wireless sensor network combines with the second wireless sensor network to exchange the first routing-information and the second routing-information.

  • Patent number: 10085271
    Abstract: A method for detecting a source of interference creates a sorting table according to distances between station devices and an access point (AP) device, and the created sorting table is sent to the AP device. The AP device determines upon a target device from the sorting table and controls the target device to acquire status and distance information between target device and AP device and send the information to the AP device. A value ? is computed according to the information sent by the target device and the calculated value ? is compared with a preset value k. The source of an interference, which affects the signal sent by the AP device, is calculated based on the comparison, and the AP device applies appropriate de-noising to the signal according to the determined interference source.

  • Patent number: 9304146
    Abstract: An RF reflectometry scanning tunneling microscope is suitable for observing a surface of an object, and includes a probe that cooperates with the object to form a tunneling resistor therebetween, an RF resonant circuit that cooperates with the tunneling resistor to form a LCR resonant circuit including an inductor connected to a parallel connection of a capacitor, a resistor and the tunneling resistor, a directional coupler receiving an RF signal and outputting the RF signal to the LCR resonant circuit, and an RF signal measuring device that generates a scanning result associated with the surface of the object based on a reflected RF signal resulting from reflection of the RF signal by the LCR resonant circuit.
