Abstract: Devices in enterprise-scale networks are often tracked by asset catalogs that record the physical locations of respective devices. Such tracking often involves administratively heavy communication of device deployment, and communication or recording errors may lead to missing catalog entries or entries that incorrectly identify the physical locations of the devices. Instead, a MAC address encoding may be established that maps physical locations to particular MAC addresses, such as representing a building, floor, room, row, and rack of a device in the second through sixth MAC address octets. A locator device with a network adapter featuring a selected MAC address that encodes a particular physical address may be inserted into a network device at the physical location. The physical location of the network device may thereafter be queried for the MAC addresses of connected devices, and the selected MAC address may be translated into the physical location of the network device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing, by a computer system (100) installed on board a motor vehicle, a signal transmitted by a remote communicating entity and received by means of a radiofrequency signal communication apparatus arranged inside the vehicle, and to a system implementing such a method and to a motor vehicle comprising such a system. The aim of the invention is to determine the plausibility of a radiofrequency signal transmitted by a remote communicating entity, in particular a signal that contains data relative to a followed course and/or a geographical position of the vehicle.

Abstract: This present invention is a spatial data processing system and method that allows the automatic, rapid, scalable analysis and transformation of large amounts of travel behavior data (e.g., tracking data points) into individual “points-of-interest” and discrete trips stored in a spatial database. Each trip has a point-of-interest as a starting and ending location, and contains multiple positions (e.g. latitude and longitudes) which define the travel path of the user/device during that time period.

Abstract: An enhanced control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle adds constraints to the process of choosing a flight path in the event of an in-flight contingency, such as engine out or an encounter with jamming, which forces a diversion or unplanned landing. The constraints are: (1) ensure communications are available when needed during contingency operations; and (2) ensure signals from a global positioning system (or other navigation system) are available when needed during contingency operations.

In one embodiment, the roadway information system may comprise, for example, a first mobile client system associated with the first roadway vehicle, a second mobile client system associated with the second roadway vehicle, a wireless communication network, and a processing system communicatively coupled to the wireless communication network. The first mobile client system may deliver first travel related data to the processing system via the wireless communication network. The processing system may deliver second travel related data to the second mobile client system via the wireless communication network, where the second travel related data relates at least in part to the first travel related data.

Abstract: An improved system and method for defining an event based upon an object location and a user-defined zone and managing the conveyance of object location event information among computing devices where object location events are defined in terms of a condition based upon a relationship between user-defined zone information and object location information. One or more location information sources are associated with an object to provide the object location information. One or more user-defined zones are defined on a map and one or more object location events are defined. The occurrence of an object location event produces object location event information that is conveyed to users based on user identification codes. Accessibility to object location information, zone information, and object location event information is based upon an object location information access code, a zone information access code, and an object location event information access code, respectively.

The application enables a handheld computing device to transfer a user's various online account credentials to a user's other computing devices securely and automatically. Thereafter the other computing device accesses a user's cloud-based storage and various on-line accounts and also pulls selected documents, bookmarks and related information directly from a user's handheld.
