The invention relates to methods and devices for remote or distributed continuous monitoring of physiologically relevant states. The invention provides for methods to automatically detect deviations or other states in physiological parameters and automatically alert a measured subject, user or other authorized party. The device provides for a universal platform for sensors, and further provides for the automatic compensation or distribution of devices or bioactive agents at appropriate levels and/or intervals in response to deviations or other states sensed in various physiological parameters.

The Wireless Integrated Network Sensor Next Generation (WINS NG) nodes provide distributed network and Internet access to sensors, controls, and processors that are deeply embedded in equipment, facilities, and the environment. The WINS NG network is a new monitoring and control capability for applications in transportation, manufacturing, health care, environmental monitoring, and safety and security. The WINS NG nodes combine microsensor technology, low power distributed signal processing, low power computation, and low power, low cost wireless and/or wired networking capability in a compact system. The WINS NG networks provide sensing, local control, remote reconfigurability, and embedded intelligent systems in structures, materials, and environments.

A method for disseminating emergency notification content from an emergency originating source. The method comprising: delivering the emergency notification content from the emergency originating source to at least one transmitting party; selecting a subset of users from among a set of users for dissemination of the emergency notification content based on the subject matter of the emergency notification content; and delivering the emergency notification content from the at least one transmitting party to a device corresponding to each user from the selected subset of users.

Systems and methods for providing a boundary scan test of a wired or wireless network having a plurality of network nodes are presented. The system includes a test station communicatively coupled with the network. The test station creates a MAC layer scan test route sequence that includes each link in the network and is independent of the routing mechanism and protocol used for the network. The test station also creates a test agent that is configured to traverse each link in the scan test route sequence. The test agent is then deployed on the network and information about a link is reported back to the test station after the test agent examines the link. The scan test route sequence can be created by sending out a series of broadcast messages from one or more nodes in the network, sequentially applying a network tour to cover the entire network, or performing a depth first search on the entire network.

A system and method for routing packets over wireless and wired networks is presented. The system employs an attribute routing scheme that routes communication packets that include objects containing network optimization parameters that are used to control the physical links in the network. The routing transport protocol is logically separated from the objects that are routed, which allows objects having new optimization parameters beyond the conventional network topology parameters or network link parameters to be defined and propagated throughout the network. Additionally, new dynamic routing objects of arbitrary size can be defined that have a customizable update period. These dynamic routing objects are propagated through the network based on their respective custom update periods. The system also includes a feature that enables exponential backoff in the custom update periods. Updates may also be linked to one another, enabling network clients to query the network for related information resulting in efficient implementation of a networking system.

Systems, architectures and methods of operation and use of remotely spaced sensors (50) are provided. Networks (28) and component arrangements of sensors (50), actuators (90), and networks provide the collection, analysis and action upon sensed information at multiple remote locations. In the preferred embodiment, sensors such as microcantilever sensors or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are connected via a network, such as the Internet to provide effective operation of the sensor network (28). In one aspect of the analog to digital converter (56), communicate through an interface or thin server to the Internet, communicating with an end user/processor (110). Sensor assemblies (50) are provided which typically include multiple sensors (52), such as for the sensing of various environmental or process conditions or stimuli. Optionally analog electronics (54), such as to aid in signal detection of processing, analog to digital converters (56), and a network connection (42).

A device for providing machine to machine communication over a communication network is presented. The device may be implemented as an ASIC, sea of gates, or mask programmed CPU. The device resides directly in the communication path between the processor and the physical layer of the host machine. Circuitry and embedded software perform the functions of data traffic management (communications and routing), application hosting, network architecture monitoring and diagnostics, LAN operations, security, machine diagnostics and location mapping. The device is adaptable to communicate over wired and wireless networks employing any of the various available transport media including phone, bluetooth, Ethernet, and 802.11 a/b, just to name a few.
