Abstract
A method may include and/or involve a mote network receiving a signal to reset and applying the signal to reset to place the mote network into a reset condition.
Claims45
A method comprising:
- a mote network receiving a signal to reset and applying the signal to reset to place the mote network into a reset condition;
- and
- propagating a reset signal through at least a portion of the mote network to reset one or more subsets of motes within the portion of the mote network to one or more operational states in accordance with one or more types of sensors comprised by the one or more subsets of motes.
A mote network comprising:
- logic to receive a signal to reset and to apply the signal to reset to place the mote network into a reset condition;
- and
- logic to propagate a reset signal through at least a portion of the mote network to reset one or more subsets of motes within the portion of the mote network to one or more operational states in accordance with one or more types of sensors comprised by the one or more subsets of motes.
A first method, comprising:
- a. performing at least one of a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions in relation to a second method that includes at least:
- (i) a mote network receiving a signal to reset and applying the signal to reset to place the mote network into a reset condition;
- and
- (ii) propagating a reset signal through the mote network to reset one or more subsets of motes within the network to one or more operational states in accordance with one or more types of sensors comprised by the one or more subsets of motes.

A first system, comprising:
- a. means for performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions in relation to a second system that includes at least one mote having:
- (i) logic to receive a signal to reset and to apply the signal to reset to place the mote into a reset condition, wherein the logic to receive a signal to reset and to apply the signal to reset to place the mote into a reset condition further comprises:
- (ii) logic to propagate a reset signal through the mote network to reset subsets of motes within the network to different operational states in accordance with the type of sensor comprised by the subsets of motes.
A method of making a system comprising:
- a. operably coupling at least two parts of a mote network, wherein operably coupling at least two parts of a mote network includes but is not limited to:
- (i) operably coupling at least one mote having logic to receive a signal to reset and to apply the signal to reset to place the mote network into a reset condition;
- and
- (ii) operably coupling at least one mote having logic to propagate a reset signal through the mote network to reset one or more subsets of motes within the network to one or more operational states in accordance with one or more types of sensors comprised by the one or more subsets of motes.
