    Consortium Standards Bulletin A ConsortiumInfo.org publication February 2006 Vol V, No. 2 FEATURE ARTICLE CASE STUDY: THE UNRULY EMERGENCE OF THE DIGITAL HOME Andrew Updegrove Abstract: Although basic electrical devices like thermostats, phones and radios entered our dwellings many decades ago, the long-awaited vision of the "digital home" is only now becoming a reality. The emergence of the futuristic home, controlled by and for the fulfillment of the comfort, safety and enjoyment of its owners, has become possible only with the development of the hundreds of telecommunications, wireless, data format, networking and other standards that have been created by scores of accredited standards development organizations and unaccredited consortia, some venerable, and others new and created specifically for this purpose. An examination of how this new standards development ecosystem has evolved demonstrates how complex standards infrastructures come into existence through the reordering of relationships among existing, and the formation of new, standard setting organizations. Such a review also illustrates how participants behave when commercial opportunities are great, and the stakes for success (or failure) are high. Introduction: Through the coincidental maturation of a variety of technologies, the New Year has brought a rash of news stories and product announcements relating to innovations in digital home technology. All at once, multi-year research, standards development and commercialization efforts in video delivery and storage technology, wireless services (both "last mile" and in-home), multiple types of display technology, and new PC capabilities are converging at roughly the same time, allowing long- anticipated innovations in home services and systems to become available to consumers.

  • High-Speed Wireless Personal Area Networks: an Application of UWB Technologies
    7 High-Speed Wireless Personal Area Networks: An Application of UWB Technologies H. K. Lau The Open University of Hong Kong Hong Kong 1. Introduction Recently, a large number of wireless networks are being developed and deployed in the market. According to the communication range, wireless networks can be classified into wireless wide area networks (WWANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless personal area networks (WPANs), and wireless body area networks (WBANs). With the advances in wireless technologies, latest generation of WPANs can provide a data rate of hundreds (or even thousands) of Mbps at a distance of less than 10 meters. Ultra-wideband (UWB) is an emerging technology that offers distinct advantages, e.g. high bandwidth and small communication ranges, for WPAN applications (Park & Rappaport, 2007; Chong et al., 2006; Fontana, 2004; Intel, 2004; Porcino & Hirt, 2003). One of the ‘killer’ applications of high-speed WPAN is wireless video area network (WVAN) that offers wireless transmission of high-definition videos (several Gbps) within a small communication distance (Singh et al., 2008; Wirelesshd 2009; Whdi 2009). This chapter provides a comprehensive summary on the latest development and standardization progress of high-speed WPANs. There are seven sections in this chapter. The first section describes the background of WPANs and introduces the IEEE networking standards for WPAN. The second section discusses characteristics of UWB signals and explains why they are particularly suitable for high-speed WPAN applications. The third section discusses technical challenges and standardization issues. The fourth section reports on the latest development of high-speed WPANs.

  • Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual Mimo Communication
    DESIGN, MODELING, AND ANALYSIS OF VISUAL MIMO COMMUNICATION By ASHWIN ASHOK A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School|New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering written under the direction of Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2014 c 2014 Ashwin Ashok ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Design, Modeling, and Analysis of Visual MIMO Communication By ASHWIN ASHOK Dissertation Director: Dr. Marco O. Gruteser, Dr. Narayan B. Mandayam and Dr. Kristin J. Dana Today's pervasive devices are increasingly being integrated with light emitting diode (LED) arrays, that serve the dual purpose of illumination and signage, and photo- receptor arrays in the form of pixel elements in a camera. The ubiquitous use of light emitting arrays (LEA) and cameras in today's world calls for building novel systems and applications where such light emitting arrays can communicate information to cameras. This thesis presents the design, modeling and analysis of a novel concept called visual MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) where cameras are used for communication. In visual MIMO, information transmitted from light emitting arrays are received through the optical wireless channel and decoded by a camera receiver. The paradigm shift in visual MIMO is the use of digital image analysis and computer vision techniques to aid in the demodulation of information, contrary to the direct processing of electrical signals as in traditional radio-frequency (RF) communication.

  • Field Service Support with Google Glass and Webrtc
    Field Service Support with Google Glass and WebRTC Support av Fälttekniker med Google Glass och WebRTC PATRIK OLDSBERG Examensarbete inom Datorteknik, Grundnivå, 15 hp Handledare på KTH: Reine Bergström Examinator: Ibrahim Orhan TRITA-STH 2014:68 KTH Skolan för Teknik och Hälsa 136 40 Handen, Sverige Abstract The Internet is dramatically changing the way we com- municate, and it is becoming increasingly important for communication services to adapt to context in which they are used. The goal of this thesis was to research how Google Glass and WebRTC can be used to create a communi- cation system tailored for field service support. A prototype was created where an expert is able to provide guidance for a field technician who is wearing Google Glass. A live video feed is sent from Glass to the expert from which the expert can select individual images. When a still image is selected it is displayed to the technician through Glass, and the expert is able to provide instructions using real time annotations. An algorithm that divides the selected image into segments was implemented using WebGL. This made it possible for the expert to highlight objects in the image by clicking on them. The thesis also investigates different options for ac- cessing the hardware video encoder on Google Glass. Sammanfattning Internet har dramatiskt ändrat hur vi kommunicerar, och det blir allt viktigare för kommunikationssystem att kunna anpassa sig till kontexten som de används i. Målet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka hur Google Glass och WebRTC kan användas för att skapa ett kommunikationssystem som är skräddarsytt för support av fälttekniker.

Pennington Submitted to the System Design and Management Program on August 7, 2020 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in System Design and Management ABSTRACT A major method of acquiring the rights to technology is through the procurement of intellectual property (IP), which allow companies to both extend their technological advantage while denying it to others. Public databases such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) track this exchange of technology rights. Thus, IP can be used as a public measure of value accumulation in the form of technology rights.
