A method and device may comprise transmitting, via a transmitter, a plurality of transmit pings at a transmit interval. A receiver may listen, for a live ping and the receiver may be configured to be turned on at a beginning of the assess interval, and off at an end of the detect duration. The receiver may further receive the live ping. After receiving the live ping, transmission of a new ping may be delayed for a delay duration. The new pings may be transmitted at the transmit interval.

Discovery protocol

A distributed sensor networks employing mobile sensing nodes that are carried to desired locations by attaching themselves to moving hosts and detaching themselves when the host arrives at the desired location or is moving away from the desired location. Each sensing node may carry a plurality of environmental sensors and communicates with nearby sensing nodes using a short range wireless link. The node further carries a location sensing mechanism and uses either active, passive or attractive means to attach itself to a moving host.

Parasitic mobility in dynamically distributed sensor networks

The present invention provides a lighting device that comprises at least one light emitting diode that is adapted for being electrically connected to a power source, and at least one sheet of fabric for covering the at least one light emitting diode. As such, light emitted from the at least one light emitting diode is able to shine through the at least one sheet of fabric.
