| 20080218427 | Multiple mode RF communication system - A multiple mode communications transceiver includes an antenna for receiving and transmitting RF energy and a first circuit selectively coupled to the antenna for transmitting and receiving FM modulated signals for terrestrial based communications. The transceiver also includes at least a second circuit selectively coupled to the antenna for transmitting and receiving satellite signals and a control circuit for selecting which of the first and second circuits are employed by the transceiver for the reception and transmission of information. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090221285 | Communications system - A communications system and method thereof is provided, wherein the system includes at least one transmitter configured to transmit at least one signal, and at least one receiver configured to receive at least one of the at least one transmitted signal. The communications system further includes at least one communication device configured to receive and retransmit the at least one transmittal signal, wherein the at least one communication device is mobile and operates at an altitude in a range of approximately 1,000 feet to 65,000 feet with respect to the Earth's surface. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100233957 | Vehicle Personalization Using A Near Field Communications Transponder - A vehicle personalization system and method that includes a cell phone and a vehicle. When a vehicle user prepares to use a vehicle, personalization data such as a preferred seat position is quickly transferred from the cell phone to the vehicle and used by the vehicle to adjust a vehicle feature to correspond to the preferences of the vehicle user. The cell phone and the vehicle are both equipped with near field communications (NFC) transponders to facilitate the transfer of personalization data. The vehicle also has a processor coupled to the vehicle NFC transponder to input the received personalization data that is also adapted to personalize the vehicle device in accordance with the received personalization data when the personalization data is downloaded from the cell phone to the vehicle. | 09-16-2010 |
