Patent CA-2652901-A1 (CA)
Title: Location marker for distributed temperature sensing systems
Inventor: TAVERNER DOMINO
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 2009-02-06
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distributed temperature sensing (DTS) include marking one or more points at known locations along a waveguide or fiber of a distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system and applying position information from such marked locations to DTS measurements. A Bragg grating in the waveguide or fiber may provide a discrete marker for identification of the position information. Application of the position information from such marked locations to the DTS measurements avoids ambiguous interpretations of other inherent features to assess location and enables data analysis referenced by the known locations to correlate the DTS measurements in space.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling a wireless access point (AP) (e.g. a battery-powered wireless AP) for reduced power consumption are provided. In one illustrative example, the AP is adapted to provide communication access for end stations in one or more activated service intervals of each superframe. During operation, the AP changes the number of activated service intervals that are available to end stations for the communication access, as well as the durations of their active subinterval durations, in accordance with a change in traffic requirements.  The AP  regularly broadcasts data which indicates the activated service intervals that are made available to the mobile devices. A wireless transceiver of the AP is enabled during each activated service interval made available to the mobile devices, but the AP is placed in a power conservation mode during each deactivated service interval provided in between the activated service intervals. The AP may also be placed in the power conservation mode during inactive subintervals of each activated service interval.

Abstract: A single receiver can collect multiple protocol data units at one time originating from different sources. While it can be desirable for higher priority protocol data units to be processed, loss of data unit portions can cause confusion to the receiver. Therefore, even if a higher priority protocol data unit transfers to the receiver while a lower priority data unit is being processed, the lower priority unit can be completed before processing the higher priority unit; thus, there can be a lower likelihood of confusion among protocol data units.
