| 20090299752 | Recognition of Voice-Activated Commands - Systems and methods for voice activated commands in a digital home communication terminal are disclosed. One example method includes storing a program audio signal corresponding to a program tuned by the digital home communication terminal. The method also includes storing an incoming audio signal carrying speech and removing from the incoming audio signal a portion of the incoming audio signal that corresponds to the program audio signal, this producing an improved version of the incoming audio signal. The method also includes selecting one of a plurality of voice-activated commands that corresponds to the improved version of the incoming audio signal, and performing a function corresponding to the selected voice-activated command. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20100042764 | Programmable Multi-Function Adapter for Wireless Networks - The present invention provides a programmable multi-function adapter for a wireless network that includes a wireless communications module, a control module, a data communications interface and a programmable non-volatile memory. The data communications interface is coupled to the control module, while the programmable non-volatile memory is coupled to the control module and the wireless communications module. The programmable non-volatile memory stores information accessible by the control module and the wireless communications module. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100074116 | System and Method of Controlling a Wireless Radio-Frequency Network Using a Gateway Device - A system and method that create, manage, and maintain a wireless network. The system and method automatically monitor the wireless network and determine an operating status of one or more devices associated with the network. If a determination is made that a device requires attention because of an operating status determined, the system communicates a notification to a designated user providing notice of the operating status. The system may create a proxy of a non-responsive device such that other devices in the network are deceived when communicating with a non-responsive device. The system may be located by a server to enable remote management of the wireless network via the Internet. The system and method enable the creation of scenes and timed events for devices associated with the network. Information tables that provide controller set-ups regarding how the controller communicates within the network may be stored. Devices associated with the network, locations of the devices associated with the network, operating states of the devices, and other information may be determined. Information and routing tables regarding the devices may be determined and communicated to the devices. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20100087958 | CONTROL FOR POSITIONING MULTIPLE BARRIERS APPARATUS AND METHOD - A control routine for groups of remotely controlled, variable-position, position-aware, transceiver-equipped actuators manages data discrepancies by issuing a first set of generic actuation commands to start and stop the actuators, then polling the actuators to report their achieved positions. The routine then applies a rule to determine a preferred position value from among the reports and issues a second set of position-specific actuation commands to all of the actuators. The routine can further poll the actuators to confirm the extent to which the commands have been realized, and can retain and apply compensation factors for performance deviations in the individual actuators. The routine can further manage multiple groups of actuators, dissimilar activators within groups, assignment of an actuator to more than one group, and application of variable control factors as inputs modifying the rule applied by the routine for determining the commands to be issued. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110141647 | Three-Way Switch for Home Automation Apparatus and Method - A switch for premises electrical circuits provides wireless control compatible with at least one home automation control system technology. A single switch design can operate two-, three-, and four-way circuits without alteration, and without recourse to coordinating remote switches. The switch includes processor functions for restoring a previous state after power interruption, and for establishing a state commanded during the power interruption. The switch uses two single-pole, single-throw relays for positive safety lockout, and adjusts relay actuation timing with reference to power waveform zero-crossing for contact arc reduction with inductive, tungsten, and capacitive loads. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20080224885 | System for processing multiple signal frequencies and data formats for a barrier operator - A barrier operator is configured to learn and receive disparate wireless transmission signals to control movement of a barrier. The operator includes a receiver core circuit adapted to receive wireless transmission signals containing known and unknown formatted data words. A microcontroller is adapted to determine a fixed code portion of the unknown formatted data words. The microcontroller is also associated with a memory unit and connected to the receiver core circuit for storing in the memory unit the known formatted data words and the unknown formatted data words if the fixed code portion can be determined when the microcontroller is in a learn mode. The receiver core circuit may also scan only frequencies associated with learn codes, pre-selected frequencies, and incremental frequencies within a predetermined range of frequencies. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20100196881 | REVERSE RESTRICTION FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM ASSAY AND USES THEREOF - The present invention presents a Reverse Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RRFLP) method for the detection of the presence of an informative restriction enzyme site in a nucleotide sequence. The method includes digesting a sample with the informative restriction enzyme; performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the digested sample with an oligonucleotide primer pair that flanks the informative restriction enzyme site; determining the Ct value of the sample; comparing the Ct value of the sample to the Ct value from a control sample; and calculating a ΔCt value, wherein a ΔCt value is the Ct value of the sample minus the Ct value of a control; and wherein a ΔCt value ≧+1 indicates that the informative restriction enzyme sites is present in the nucleotide sequence. The present invention includes the application of the RRFLP method for detection of the infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). | 08-05-2010 |
