20100232875 | MECHANICAL COUPLING - A mechanical coupling for transferring torque from a first component that rotates about an axis to a second component that also rotates about the axis is provided. The coupling allows different rates of expansion of the first and second components in the radial direction by permitting sliding in the radial direction of the components relative to one another. The coupling comprises first and second circular arrays of teeth formed on the first component and second component, respectively, and centered on the axis. The first circular array of teeth are intermeshed with the second circular array of teeth, wherein rotation of the first component causes first mating sides on the first circular array of teeth to bear against second mating sides on the second circular array of teeth transferring torque to the second component. The first and second mating sides extend both axially and radially and are essentially curved. | 09-16-2010 |

The number of training modules is selected from a collection of training modules based on a performance indicator that is associated with the employee. When the employee has completed the number of training modules in the allowed time frame, the employee is accredited. If an employee's performance is less than a satisfactory performance rating, the employee may forfeit accreditation. Consequently, the employee must repeat the accreditation process in order to regain accreditation. | 07-29-2010 |

20080266081 | Wireless transceiver management system and method - A method of managing data communications in a wireless security system. A message is transmitted from a fixed location security device and received by at least two transceivers. Each transceiver analyzes the received message to generate RSSI data. A digital message including the RSSI data is sent from each transceiver via a wired connection to a control panel, which analyzes the RSSI data from each transceiver to determine which transceiver generated the highest RSSI. The control panel then designates data exchange responsibility to the transceiver with the highest RSSI. That transceiver will have responsibility for acknowledging messages from that security device and send data to that security device from the control panel. A transceiver will be allocated to a portable security device if it is the first to receive the wireless message rather than on RSSI data. | 10-30-2008 |

20150043478 | DYNAMIC SETTING OF TRANSMISSION TIME IN A CONTENTION BASED WIRELESS SYSTEM - In a wireless communications network, access points and connected mobile devices transmit data via a radio frequency spectrum channel. When a device has packets for transmission it must check the channel is available before it can transmit the data. Furthermore there is a Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) parameter which limits the maximum amount of time that a device can transmit packets before it must relinquish the channel so that other devices are not locked out. Each device in the network is capable of updating its own TXOP parameters in order to respond to changes in the level of interference and contention in the surrounding area. In this way devices can transmit for longer periods of time when contention is low, while responding to increased network contention by shortening the TXOP to ensure fair access for all other devices in the network. | 02-12-2015 |
