Abstract: A method at a first device for enabling a device-to-device wireless link, the method detecting whether a presence signal of a second device is received over a first time period, the presence signal of the second device having a time-slot boundary; and if the presence signal of the second device is not detected, initiating a time-slot boundary by the first device including: transmitting a first presence signal of the first device in a selected time-slot; and checking for an acknowledgment to the first presence signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a concrete product incorporating rubber aggregate produced by casting under pressure. The concrete product may optionally be cast at 6.9-27.7 MPa for periods of, for example, 24 hours. In one embodiment the rubber aggregate may comprise coarse and/or fine rubber aggregate to replace natural sources of coarse and fine aggregate. Casting under pressure was found to generally improve the performance characteristics of the concrete when compared to corresponding concrete cast without pressure.

Abstract: A management system monitors a set of objects of a user by wirelessly communicating with one or more location components associated with the objects, and each object of the set has a respective location component. The monitoring includes ascertaining by the management system, based at least in part on data obtained via wireless communication with the location component(s), a spatial centroid of the set and a spatial separation of an object in the set from the spatial centroid, and correlating the ascertained spatial centroid to a context classification of multiple context classifications. The management system further determines whether a difference between the ascertained spatial separation and the average spatial separation of the location component(s) for the correlated context classification exceeds an acceptable spatial separation tolerance. Based on the difference exceeding the acceptable tolerance, the management system provides an electronic alert to the user.
