Secure PKI Communications for "Machine-to-Machine" Modules, including Key Derivation by Modules and Authenticating Public Keys
ActiveUS20150095648A1Extend battery lifeImprove efficiencyKey distribution for secure communicationMultiple keys/algorithms usageComputer hardwareDigital signature
Methods and systems are provided for efficient and secure “Machine-to-Machine” (M2M) between modules and servers. A module can communicate with a server by accessing the Internet, and the module can include a sensor and / or actuator. The module and server can utilize public key infrastructure (PKI) such as public keys to encrypt messages. The module and server can use private keys to generate digital signatures for datagrams sent and decrypt messages received. The module can internally derive pairs of private / public keys using cryptographic algorithms and a set of parameters. A server can use a shared secret key to authenticate the submission of derived public keys with an associated module identity. For the very first submission of a public key derived the module, the shared secret key can comprise a pre-shared secret key which can be loaded into the module using a pre-shared secret key code.

A system, method, and computer program product for sharing bandwidth by a plurality of devices in a wireless personal area network or a wireless local area network. A media access control protocol frame includes a beacon signal sent from a coordinator including coordination information to each of the devices of the WPAN, an optional contention access period, and a contention free period that includes an additional shared period that is managed as a slot cycle time division multiple access period, a polling period, or as management period. The coordination information includes a device-unique start time indicator and a transmission duration defining a guaranteed time slot within the contention free period of the frame for each of the networked devices. Each of the network devices sleeps while not receiving the beacon and not transmitting data during their guaranteed time slot, thereby reducing power consumption as compared to slot cycle time division multiple access or polling schemes which require listening by all devices during the contention free period.

Wireless terminal dynamically programmable proxies
InactiveUS20060013235A1Web contentImprove file transfer timeInformation formatData switching by path configurationNetwork connectionTranscoding
The present invention relates to scheduling, compression and transcoding of data content for mobile terminals with limited resources. The present invention provides a method of transferring information or content to or from a terminal dependent on a number of parameters associated with the terminal. Such parameters might include its battery level, processing resource status and memory resource status, and the nature of its connection(s) to the network(s) (network performance). Thus for example a terminal with plenty of processor resources but a single narrowband wireless link may implement a high compression ratio in order to improve the file transfer time to the terminal, even if this requires a high de-compression processing overhead. Such a set-up may be changed during a connection session, for example if the battery runs low necessitating reduced processing. In preferred embodiments this method of transferring content is implemented using a programmable or dynamically adaptable proxy device which adjusts the transcoding and / or compression, as well as its scheduling or rate and timing of transfer of the transcoded / compressed information to and from the terminal over one or more network connections.

Cell equalizing circuit
InactiveUS7061207B2Guaranteed maximum utilizationMaximize battery lifeCharge equalisation circuitElectric powerLithiumCharge current
An electric circuit for equalizing voltages between serially arranged cells. The circuit is operable to generate AC voltages at amplitudes dependent on the DC voltages of the received cells. The AC voltages are all connected to an inductive coupling circuit. The inductive coupling allows higher-voltage cells to induce a recharging current flow in lower voltage cells and so equalize the cell voltages. The circuit also operates to ensure that cell voltages are maintained in equilibrium during charging or discharging of received cells, irrespective of the individual charging and discharging characteristics of the cells. The circuit thus prevents individual cells in a battery from being over-charged or over-discharged and allows more efficient use of the full capacity of a battery without risking damage to the individual cells. The cell equalizing circuit is thus especially useful for rechargeable cells, such as lithium-ion cells, which are sensitive to damage by over-charging and over-discharging.
