An adjustable tethering system is disclosed that includes a primary line, a secondary line, and a capsule. The secondary line is wound about the primary line to form a frictional locking arrangement that resists translation of the secondary line along the primary line when the secondary line is tensioned. The capsule can be manipulated by a user to selectively release the frictional engagement between the primary and secondary lines, thereby enabling controlled transition of the system from a secured state to a state in which the secondary line can translate along the primary line.

The present disclosure provides a method for site management that includes launching, from a mobile drone base unit, a drone including a sensor package and an illumination source; tethering, by a tether coupling the drone to the mobile drone base unit, the drone to provide power and maintain communications between the drone and the mobile drone base unit; receiving, from the sensor package of the drone, data related to a construction site; comparing the received data related to the construction site to blueprint data related to the construction site; and in response to identifying a deviation between the received data and the blueprint data, moving the mobile drone base unit to a position allowing the drone to highlight the deviation.

Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for obtaining information relating to tethering events. A method performed at a first network function for obtaining information relating to tethering events includes receiving, from a second network function, a first request to report information either related to detected tethering events in a session or related to detected tethering events for one or more services in a session; detecting a first tethering event at a first device; and transmitting a first message to the second network function, the first message including tethering information related to the first tethering event.

A client device communicates with a network via a host device as an intermediary through a virtual link technique in which an Internet Protocol (IP) tunnel is established between the client device and the host device, and a plurality of physical links between the host device and the client device are assigned or otherwise associated with the IP tunnel such that the IP tunnel acts as a single virtual link between the client device and the host device, with fixed IP addresses, but therein data can be communicated between the client device and the host device on different physical links according to routing policy that includes routing rules for routing data packets between the different physical links according to one or more parameters.

A method and system for wirelessly tracking power tools and related devices to aid with inventory management and to help minimize, prevent, and recover misplaced or stolen tools throughout the job site. The tools and / or batteries include wireless transmitting capabilities (e.g., an ISM unit) to transmit data to a fob, puck repeater, and / or gateway over an ISM network. The gateway is operable to translate and output the ISM communications over a cellular network to a remote monitoring unit, such as a personal computer or smart phone. Additionally, the gateway is further operable to translate and output cellular communications from the remote monitoring unit to ISM communications over the ISM network. A wireless tethering system and method is also disclosed whereby an ISM battery places a power tool in a lock-out or limp mode after the ISM battery remains outside of ISM communications for a prolonged period of time.

The present invention provides a power limit protection device for a tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, comprising a DC power supply device, an airborne power conversion device, a motor, and a backup battery. The airborne power conversion device, the motor, and the backup battery are all arranged on the UAV. The airborne power conversion device is used to charge the backup battery and provide power for the motor for endurance. The motor is a high-voltage or low-voltage direct-driven brushless motor, and the brushless motor provides power for the tethered UAV. The DC power supply device is arranged on the ground and connected to the airborne power conversion device via a tethering cable. In the event of transient overpower of the tethered UAV system, the backup battery quickly switches its working mode to supplement power. The UAV system not only has an emergency landing capability, but also provides supplementary power when the instantaneous motor power exceeds the limit value, thereby greatly reducing the probability of the UAV crashing.

The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and provides a data transmission method, a communication apparatus, and a storage medium, for use in guaranteeing timely transmission of tethering data as much as possible, thereby maximizing the stability and reliability of a tethering service as much as possible. The method comprises: receiving first information, and sending tethering data on a first transmission resource, wherein the first information is used for indicating the first transmission resource for a terminal to transmit the tethering data to a network device, and the tethering data is data transmitted by a tethering device of the terminal to the network device by means of the terminal.

A device and a method automatically redeploys the geographical coverage of a wireless telecommunications network interconnecting a plurality of wireless mobile devices and a common back base. The method includes: partitioning an initial geographical coverage area of a wireless telecommunications network into sub-areas; assigning a mobile vehicle equipped with a wireless base station to each sub-area, with each mobile vehicle equipped with a wireless base station being connected to the back base via a wireless link, and being positioned in a geographical position offering wireless network coverage over the sub-area to a set of wireless mobile devices; monitoring the tethering of each wireless mobile device to at least one wireless base station of the initial geographical coverage area; determining whether a wireless mobile device is no longer tethered to any wireless base station of the initial geographical coverage area; determining, if the wireless mobile device is no longer tethered to any wireless base station, a geographical position for a mobile vehicle equipped with a wireless base station as a function of the geographical position of the untethered wireless mobile device, with the geographical position allowing wireless network connectivity to be established between the untethered wireless mobile device and the back base; and deploying a mobile vehicle equipped with a wireless base station to the geographical position, with the position defining a new geographical coverage sub-area corresponding to an extension of the initial geographical coverage area.
