Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for positioning a device. The method includes obtaining a location parameter associated with the device. The location parameter includes at least one of first location information or speed information. The method also includes obtaining an orientation parameter associated with the device. The orientation parameter includes at least one of first orientation information or angle velocity information. Further, the method includes determining target location information of the device by performing a first fusion calculation based on the location parameter and determining target orientation information of the device by performing a second fusion calculation based on the orientation parameter.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for an efficient method of replicating share objects to remote deployments. For example, the method may comprise modifying a share object of a first account of a data exchange into a global object wherein the share object includes grant metadata indicating share grants to a set of objects of a database. The method may further comprise creating, in a second account of the data exchange, a local replica of the share object on the remote deployment based on the global object, wherein the second account is located in a remote deployment. The set of objects of the database may be replicated to a local database replica on the remote deployment and the share grants may be replicated to the local replica of the share object.

Abstract: A virtual conferencing system is described which implements an interactive timeline.

Abstract: First apparatuses (1) to be remotely controlled by devices (3) comprise interfaces (11) for receiving first signals from second apparatuses (2) that define that the second apparatuses (2) have received codes from the devices (3), interfaces (12) for sending second signals to the devices (3), and first controllers (21) for detecting the first signals and in response to detection results generating the second signals for providing assistance to the configurations of the devices (3) for remotely controlling the second apparatuses (2). The devices (3) for remotely controlling the first apparatuses (1) comprise interfaces (14) for sending codes to the second apparatuses (2) for remotely controlling the second apparatuses (2), interfaces (15) for receiving the second signals from the first apparatuses (1), and second controllers (22) for detecting the second signals for configuring the devices (3) for remotely controlling the second apparatuses (2).

Abstract: Security systems and methods of operating the same. One security system includes a plurality of point devices positioned in a premises, a plurality of interim devices, and a control panel. The system also includes a first communication bus connecting the control panel and each of the plurality of interim devices and a plurality of second communication buses. Each of the plurality of second communication buses connects one of the plurality of interim devices with at least one of the plurality of point devices. The control panel is also configured to address a message for one of the plurality of point device based on an identifier of the one of the plurality of point devices and an identifier of at least one of the plurality of interim devices connected to the point device over one of the plurality of second communication buses.

Abstract: A wireless network having an architecture that resembles a peer-to-peer network has two types of nodes, a first sender type node and a second receiver/relay type node. The network may be used in a medical instrumentation environment whereby the first type node may be wireless devices that could monitor physical parameters of a patient such as for example wireless oximeters. The second type node are mobile wireless communicators that are adapted to receive the data from the wireless devices if they are within the transmission range of the wireless devices. After an aggregation process involving the received data, each of the node communicators broadcasts or disseminates its most up to date data onto the network. Any other relay communicator node in the network that is within the broadcast range of a broadcasting communicator node would receive the up to date data.

Abstract: In a client, a system receives a set of transformation functions for use in transforming a first content, requests the first content from a gateway, and receives the first content from the gateway, including an invocation of at least one transformation function maintained on the client. The system invokes the at least one transformation function to transform the first content to access a second content on the server. In a gateway communicating with a server, a system transmits a set of transformation functions to at least one client for use in transforming a first content, receives a request from at least one client for the first content residing on the server, rewrites the first content to include the invocation of at least one transformation function maintained on the client, and transmits the first content including the invocation of at the least one transformation function maintained on the client.
