Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120063037CONTINUOUS POWER PROTECTION - A power supply including a switching voltage regulator detects a peak power fault if a peak power limit is exceeded during a switching cycle of the voltage regulator. A second fault condition exists if a second power limit, lower than the peak power limit, is exceeded over a second time period, longer than the first time period. The switching voltage regulator is stopped in response to either the first or the second fault condition. Responsive to the second fault condition, the switching voltage regulator may be stopped until AC power is cycled or until a predetermined time period has elapsed.03-15-2012

20080273768BIOMETRIC SENSOR APPARATUS AND METHOD - A biometric sensor apparatus uses an infra red light source and a CMOS image sensor. A platen receives a body part and the image sensor receives light transmitted through the body part. A processor determines from the detected through-transmitted light whether the body part is live or is a spoof body part. This determination is based upon a detected variation of the opacity of the body part due to blood flow through the body part. Digital processing of the collected image signal data is performed, such as by smoothing. The sensor may further function as a pattern (such as a fingerprint) sensor for detecting surface patterns on the presented body part and identifying an individual from those sensed patterns.11-06-2008

20080291047System Having Key Fob Operable to Remotely Control a Garage Door Via Remote Keyless Entry Receiver and Garage Door Opener Transmitter Interconnected by Vehicle Bus - A garage door opener (GDO) system and method include a remote keyless entry (RKE) receiver and a GDO system interconnected by a vehicle bus. Upon receiving a RKE GDO request signal from a key fob, the RKE receiver forwards a command signal over the vehicle bus to the GDO transmitter. Upon receiving the command signal from the RKE receiver, the GDO transmitter transmits a garage door signal to a GDO receiver of a garage to control a garage door.11-27-2008
20090315672METHOD OF PROGRAMMING A WIRELESS TRANSMITTER TO A WIRELESS RECEIVER - A wireless remote control system includes a wireless receiver having a normal operating mode in which the wireless receiver may be actuated by a wireless transmitter programmed to the wireless receiver and a programming mode in which the receiver is placed to learn a new wireless transmitter and programming information for the new transmitter is sent to the wireless receiver. Programming a wireless transmitter to the wireless receiver includes actuating the receiver with an existing transmitter already programmed to the receiver, and repeating the actuation of the receiver in a predetermined sequence. In response to the receiver receiving the predetermined sequence of actuations, the receiver enters the programming mode. Programming information for the new transmitter is sent to the receiver, and the receiver programs the new transmitter to the receiver.12-24-2009
20110172885UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND APPLIANCE CONTROL SYSTEM - A control module may be configured to support wireless transmission and/or receipt of signals used to direct universal garage door openers and other appliance control systems. The control module may be operable to prevent certain garage door opener and/or application control requests in the event certain security measures are not met. The control module may be integrated into a smart junction box, body control module, and/or other module in the event the control module is adapted for use within a vehicle.07-14-2011
