20090116663 | Combining an audio power amplifier and a power converter in a single device - An apparatus is described that includes an audio power amplifier having an input and an output. An alternating-current to direct-current power converter is coupled to the audio power amplifier in a single package to supply power to the audio power amplifier. | 05-07-2009 |
20090302680 | DISTRIBUTED PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM - Power is provided to one or more loads by a photovoltaic power generating system wherein the system provides alternating current. No direct current connection is required, allowing the system to be collocated with a load. | 12-10-2009 |
20140328506 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF WIRELESS SPEAKERS - Methods and systems for automatic configuration of wireless speakers are disclosed. A system is described whereby a wireless speaker is configured to use an audio tone to generate a sound wave. The sound wave is received by an audio input/output device, which uses the received sound wave to generate audio information. A processor is configured to use the audio information to determine a distance between the wireless speaker and the audio input/output device, and to configure an audio parameter of the wireless speaker as a function of the distance. | 11-06-2014 |

20140176415 | DYNAMICALLY GENERATING HAPTIC EFFECTS FROM AUDIO DATA - Haptic effects are dynamically generated for content presentation on a device through analysis of the content. During content playback, audio data for the content may be analyzed to determine low frequency audio data. The low frequency audio data is mapped from a low frequency range to a haptic control frequency range of one or more haptic actuators included in the device. This mapping may be used to generate a control signal to drive the one or more haptic actuators. The haptic effects and the content may be synchronized to one another during the presentation of the content on the device. The haptic actuator control signal may be amplified proportionally to the amplitude of the low frequency audio data. | 06-26-2014 |
20140253305 | FORCE SENSING INPUT DEVICE - User input is accepted by a force sensing resistor (“FSR”) assembly, a force sensing capacitor (“FSC”) or both. The FSR or FSC assemblies may be located within an input device, such as behind a device exterior, display, and so forth. A force applied to the device exterior proximate to the assembly may result in activation of the assembly. The activation may be processed as input and used to determine and then perform a particular action. The particular action may be based at least in part on a particular portion of the assembly which has been activated, a magnitude of applied force, or both. A haptic output may be provided on activation to provide feedback to a user. | 09-11-2014 |

20130319150 | OVERLOAD PROTECTION - An overload protection device in combination with a prime mover and gearbox transmission supplies torque through a gearbox transmission to a load. An input shaft with is driven by the prime mover and rotates therewith. An external spline on the input shaft mates with an input gear having an internal spline. Upon overload of the gearbox transmission, the input shaft fractures an annular groove in the input shaft. A bushing prevents travel of the portion of the input shaft which is driven by the prime mover and which continues to spin after the fracture. | 12-05-2013 |
