SBIR Phase I: Personalized Wireless Network

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将研究高带宽个性化无线网络(IWN)，该网络是个性化的，以最大限度地提高个人用户的灵活性和能力，并将干扰、串扰和外部信息降至最低。将建立一个使用IEEE 802.11b无线以太网标准或蓝牙标准等标准协议的无线网络。对讲灯光学选择技术将允许用户从传输的信号中进行选择，为个人用户提供个性化的传输，提供手推车标题和允许辅助对话。该系统将与聋人和重听学生教育专家合作开发，并将在专门从事残疾教育的学校进行评估和测试，以最大限度地方便用户和实现价值。预期成果和商业应用：作为该项目的结果，将开发一种新的信息通信技术，以增强无线网络的能力。一个单一的网络将能够承载各种各样的信息。改装的IWN镇流变压器将作为商业产品出售，以取代现有的镇流变压器，并允许荧光灯作为定位器执行双重用途。IWN光学将是出售给用户的商业产品。用于实现无线网络的光学控制的软件将是商业产品。一旦安装，调制光系统还可用于辅助听障和视障用户、辅助音频、定向、展品描述和许多其他应用

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will research high bandwidth individualized wireless network (IWN) which is personalized to maximize flexibility and capability for individual users and minimize interference, crosstalk and extraneous information. A wireless network will be established which uses a standard protocol like IEEE 802.11b wireless Ethernet standard or the Bluetooth standard. Talking Lights optical selection technology will allow users to select among transmitted signals, personalize the transmission for individual users, provide CART captions and permit assisted conversations.The system will be developed in connection with experts on education of deaf and hard of hearing students and will be evaluated and tested in schools specializing in education of the handicapped to maximize user friendliness and value. Anticipated Results and Commercial Applications: As a result of this project, a new technology for communication of information will be developed which enhances the capability of wireless networks. A single network will be able to carry a broad variety of information. Modified IWN ballast transformers will be commercial products sold to replace current ballast transformers and allow fluorescent lights to perform dual use as locators. IWN optical will be commercial products sold to users. The software used to enable optical control of the wireless network will be a commercial product. Once installed, the modulated light sys-tem can also be used for assistance to hearing impaired and visually impaired users, assisted audio, direction finding, description of exhibits and many other applications
