A system is provided that includes a plurality of medical treatment units that are respectively associated with a patient, and a plurality of peripheral appliances also respectively associated with a patient. The peripheral appliances transmit control signals and patient signals to the treatment units, while the treatment units receive the control signals and patient signals from the peripheral appliances. The system ensures that the treatment units do not receive patient signals from other peripheral appliances that are not associated with the particular patient. The operating staff allocate a peripheral appliance to a patient and confirm the successful association of the peripheral appliance with the treatment unit allocated to the patient.

A smart lock box system is described. One implementation of the lock box system includes a locking mechanism configured to securely hold a cover over a compartment. The lock box system includes a receiver capable of receiving signals from a user device. The lock box system also includes a processor configured to identify an access message in a received signal, a service to verify that the access message was provided by an authorized party, and cause the locking mechanism to be released in response to verifying that the access message was provided by the authorized party. The open/close events are recorded in a distributed ledger to document which user's device was used to access a given property at a given time. Furthermore, the smart lock box system utilizes a push notification service, based on user device's GPS, to inform owners when to depart/return to the property.

A reversible fiber optic cassette for mounting with other like cassettes in a rack comprising a cassette receiving tray, the tray comprising a plurality of cassette engaging features on an upper surface is disclosed. The cassette comprises N duplex pairs of optic fiber receptacles arranged along a front thereof, a multifiber receptacle on a back thereof and 2*N optic fiber segments each between a respective one of the optic fiber receptacles and the multifiber receptacle, N discrete port identifiers on a first surface thereof and N discrete port identifiers on a second surface opposite the first surface. The first set of N identifiers is the same as the second set of N identifiers and for M between 1 to N, an M.sup.th port identifier of the first set and an (N-M+1).sup.th port identifier of the second set is adjacent an M.sup.th one of the duplex pairs of optic fiber receptacles.

A smart locker system includes an enclosure unit and a cassette unit. The smart locker is extendable by adding additional enclosure units and the cassette units. The cassette unit includes storage bins and a control bin. The cassette unit contains different size of storage bins and a control bin. The smart locker system further includes a touch screen and authentication devices. The smart locker system can arrange the storage bins and the control bins to maintain the height of the smart locker system.

Whether a radio wave received by a portable terminal is a radio wave directly received from an in-vehicle apparatus is determined, based on (i) the characteristic related to the direction of the magnetic field or electric field in the radio wave received by the portable terminal, (ii) the information representing the position of the portable terminal, and (iii) the information representing the orientation of the portable terminal.

A method for managing a telecommunication network comprising the steps of identification, by the central controller, of an updated condition of availability of resources of the network, and association of a plurality of updated sequences of instructions, comparison of the plurality of updated sequences of instructions with a plurality of not updated sequences of instructions associated with the last condition of availability. In case that the plurality of updated sequences of instructions is different from the plurality of not updated sequences of instructions, a step is provided of sending an updated sequence of instructions to each nodal device, on the basis of the service class of the data traffic of the device. A step is furthermore provided of checking, by the local controller, a condition of service of the data traffic at time ranges , said updated sequence of instructions associating to each condition of service an optimal working status to be attributed to the data traffic. A step is then provided of comparison of the condition of service with an optimal condition of service and, in case that the condition of service is different, a step is provided of starting, by the local controller, the updated sequence of instructions for changing a status of the data traffic. It is further provided a step of sending to the central controller data concerning the change of the working status.
