20130286215 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESTRICTING APPLICATIONS FOR A FOCAL PLANE ARRAY - Systems and methods disclosed herein include preventing use of a Focal Plane Array (“FPA”) in a thermal imaging system if used in conjunction with a weapons-related activity by disabling the FPA in response to detecting one or more shock pulse events using accelerometers coupled with the thermal imaging system. The method includes monitoring an output from the one or more of the accelerometers to determine whether a shock pulse acceleration event has been detected that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method also includes determining that a second acceleration event associated with the accelerometers exceeds a second predetermined threshold. The method further includes disabling the thermal imaging system in response to the detected acceleration events. | 10-31-2013 |
20140132776 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESTRICTING APPLICATIONS FOR A THERMAL CAMERA - Systems and methods disclosed herein include preventing use of a thermal imaging system if used in conjunction with a weapons-related activity by disabling the system in response to detecting one or more shock pulse events using accelerometers coupled with the thermal imaging system. The method includes monitoring an output from one or more of the accelerometers to determine whether a shock pulse acceleration event has been detected that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method also includes determining that a second acceleration event associated with the accelerometers exceeds a second predetermined threshold. The method further includes disabling the thermal imaging system in response to the detected acceleration events. | 05-15-2014 |

20080215773 | ENHANCED WIRELESS USB PROTOCOL - The present invention provides a method for increasing data throughput for a wireless USB system that includes wire adapters that wirelessly transmit data between a host system and a USB enabled device. | 09-04-2008 |
20080232588 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING CONTENT PROTECTION IN A WIRELESS DIGITAL SYSTEM - A system includes a line-based receiver for receiving protected content from a source and a line-based transmitter for providing the protected content to a destination. The protected content is secure, such as by using a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) mechanism. Between the line-based transmitter and receiver is a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The wireless transmitter establishes an encrypted wireless link with the wireless receiver according to a second encryption mechanism. The wireless transmitter is further configured for receiving the protected content from the line-based receiver, encrypting the protected content according to the second encryption mechanism, and wirelessly transmitting the encrypted protected content. The wireless receiver is further configured for receiving the wirelessly transmitted protected content from the wireless transmitter and decrypting the protected content according to the second encryption mechanism. | 09-25-2008 |
20090066704 | WIRELESS GRAPHICS CARD - A device is provided for use in a portable computer. The device includes a wireless graphics card that includes a connector for coupling to an expansion slot of the portable computer and for receiving a plurality of signals from the portable computer, the plurality of signals including video, audio, and data signals and an ultra wideband (UWB) chipset coupled to the connector for processing the plurality of signals and for generating an OFDM modulated signal that includes at least the video signal, where the OFDM modulated signal including the video signal is wirelessly transmitted over an UWB link to a monitor for display. | 03-12-2009 |
