20100302014 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATING A TARGET WIRELESS DEVICE - A method for locating a target wireless device is disclosed. At least one directional antenna is swept through a field of view at each of a plurality of sensing locations. A position is determined for each of the plurality of sensing locations. During the sweep at each of the plurality of sensing locations, a set of signal strength data for the target wireless device and a set of bearing information are collected. A plurality of lines of bearing are determined, one from each of the plurality of sensing locations to the target wireless device, based on the determined position, the collected set of signal strength data, and bearing information for each of the plurality of sensing locations. A target location of the target wireless device is determined based on an intersection of at least two lines of bearing from the plurality of lines of bearing. | 12-02-2010 |
20110095874 | Remote switch to monitor and navigate an electronic device or system - A remote switch monitors, navigates, and provides transport control to an electronic device or system, including computers or other digital systems. It includes: a switch with a visual indicator, transitionable between first and second states, or multiple states; a symbol on the visual indicator to identify the navigation function; and a communication interface to the electronic system. The device utilizes the communication interface to send a first message related to the navigation function to the electronic system in response to the user operating the switch; the device utilizes the communication interface to receive a second message related to the navigation status from the electronic system; and the visual indicator transitions between the first state and the second state to indicate the navigation status. The device may be used with the feet, freeing the hands to play an instrument such as a guitar, and provides tactile and visual feedback. | 04-28-2011 |
20120019372 | DOG BARK DOOR BELL NOTIFICATION AND PERSONAL PROTECTION SYSTEM - A security system includes a warning notification module adapted to recognize at least one of a wireless or audible signal. A door bell ringer or emergency transmission signal from a wireless transmitter can provide a recognition signal to a microprocessor in the security system via the warning notification module. The microprocessor retrieves dog barking sounds stored in memory and provides them to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module. Dog barking sounds can be broadcasted using the wireless transmitter. Processing can be with a time delay after first receipt of the recognition signal. A random module can enable random retrieval of various dog barking sounds from memory for processing. A time out module can disable operation of the microprocessor at a set time after recognition signal receipt. | 01-26-2012 |
