A footwear system includes a sensorized insole, a wireless charging transmitter pod, and a wireless charging mat. The insole has an insole bulk having a foot-facing upper surface and a ground-facing lower surface. One or more sensors, one or more batteries, and a wireless charging receiver pod are embedded in the insole bulk. The transmitter pod receives energy and wirelessly transmits energy to the receiver pod. The transmitter pod is positionable against the foot-facing upper surface to wirelessly provide energy to the receiver pod through the insole bulk. The mat receives energy and wirelessly transmits energy to the receiver pod. The mat is positionable adjacent the ground-facing lower surface to wirelessly provide energy to the receiver pod through the first insole bulk. The system is configured to allow only one of the transmitter pod and the mat to provide energy to the receiver pod at a given time.

A system and method allows for communication between mobile devices running a communication application. The mobile devices include a host device and a plurality of client devices. When there is limited connectivity to other networks, the host device creates a host network and the client devices are transitioned to the host network. After the client devices are transitioned to the host network, communication can occur between the host device and the client devices, through the communication application and over the host network.

System and method for hosting and transitioning to a wireless network

A method and system for communication between devices includes connecting a plurality of communication devices through a communication system. At least one communication device acts as a source entity sending a plurality of data packets to an access point. A plurality of communication devices act as destination entities receiving the data packets. The data packets are distributed, by the access point, to the destination entities in such a way that the data packets are queued for receipt by each destination entity in a separate non-interdependent queue.

System and method of wireless communication using destination based queueing

A system and method of wireless communication includes a host application running on a server. A plurality of communication devices are in communication with the host application and configured to send and receive data packets between others of the communication devices via the host application. The data packets containing digital information related to at least one type of media content. The host application receives the data packets and distributes the data packets according to a dynamic multicast distribution scheme. The dynamic multicast distribution scheme changes, for each communication device, according to at least one communication metric through WiFi modulation, forward error correction, or audio codec sampling and bit rates.

System and method of wireless communication using a dynamic multicast distribution scheme

A method and system for digital data transfer includes a source entity and destination entity. The source entity is configured to send a plurality of data packets at a plurality of send times separated by transmission time intervals. The destination entity is configured to receive the data packets at a plurality of receipt times separated by receipt time intervals, populate a buffer, and playback the data packets. When the receipt time interval between the receipt times of two data packets is less than the transmission time interval between the send times of said data packets, the playback speed of the data packets is dynamically adjusted to be a faster than nominal playback speed. When the buffer is smaller than a nominal buffer size, the playback speed is dynamically adjusted to be slower than nominal playback speed.

Systems, methods, apparatus and devices are described for monitoring a property of an object or an individual, using a conformal sensor device that substantially conforms to contours of a portion of a surface of the object or the individual. The measurement includes data indicative of a property of a temperature of the portion of the surface and the degree of the conformal contact. An analysis engine is used to analyze the data and to generate at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature. Based on a comparison of the at least one parameter to a preset threshold, at least one alert can be issued and/or a command can be transmitted to regulate an environmental condition. The at least one alert can be indicative of a potential risk of harm to the object or individual.
