20100328132AUTOMATIC CHANGE OF ASSOCIATION OF A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE WITH AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method of changing an association of a remote control device from a first electronic device to a second electronic device is presented. In the method, a command for an electronic device is generated and transmitted by the remote control device. At this point, the remote control device is associated with the first electronic device to control the first electronic device, and the remote control device is not associated with the second electronic device. If an acknowledgment of the command is not received, a request to associate the remote control device with another electronic device is transmitted. A reply to the request is then received from the second electronic device. In response to the reply, the remote control device is disassociated from the first electronic device and associated with the second electronic device.12-30-2010
20110140847AUDIBLE FEEDBACK FOR INPUT ACTIVATION OF A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE - A method of informing a user of an identity of an input of a remote control device is presented. In the method, user activation of one of the inputs of the remote control device is detected. An audible signal associated with the activated input is determined. Each of the inputs of the remote control device is associated with a unique one of a plurality of audible signals. The audible signal associated with the activated input is produced to inform the user of the identity of that input.06-16-2011
20110208456APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEARNING A CRITICAL VOLTAGE OF A MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL UNIT - A microcontroller-based electronic device and its operating methods are operable to learn a critical voltage value for a microprocessor control unit residing in the microcontroller-based electronic device. The microprocessor control unit receives power from a battery. An exemplary embodiment detects an operating voltage provided to the microprocessor control unit by a supplemental power reservoir after removal of the battery, stores information corresponding to a value of the operating voltage in a nonvolatile memory, repeats the detecting and the saving information as the operating voltage decays in response to a discharge of the supplemental power reservoir, and determines the actual minimum operating voltage for the microprocessor control unit based on a last one of the stored information corresponding to the value of the operating voltage. A learned critical voltage value is based upon the defined actual minimum operating voltage.08-25-2011

20100115576FIRMWARE RECOVERY OF WIRELESS DEVICES - One embodiment may take the form of a method and apparatus for remotely providing firmware to a wireless device. The wireless device may be configured to detect when the device's firmware is corrupted or may need updating. The device may then transmit a request for a firmware image on a first wireless communication channel. If the request is answered by an updating device, the wireless device may establish a communication with, and begin receiving the firmware image from, the updating device. Further, the wireless device may verify transmitted data and send an acknowledgment message to the updating device for each transmitted data packet.05-06-2010
20100315209Systems And Apparatus For Transmitting Remote Control Commands Over A Communication Network - Described herein are techniques for transmitting remote control commands to a controlled device over a communication network. A user provides input to a remote control requesting to remotely operate a controlled device. A remote control command is transmitted from the remote control to the controlled device through an electrical distribution network. The controlled device receives and processes the remote control command and changes its operational state according to the command.12-16-2010

20110171006TURBINE ENGINE BYPASS FAN-BLEED NOISE REDUCTION - Apparatuses are provided for reducing noise generation from a dead ended conduit in a gas turbine engine. In particular A scooped bellmouth is provided that comprises a bellmouth within a surface having an outer perimeter an inner perimeter and a ramp diverging from the surface at a first end, the ramp extending radially through the outer perimeter of the bellmouth at a second end. The ramp diverts an airflow away from the bellmouth thereby preventing the development of a low pressure area at the bellmouth without affecting the efficiency of the gas turbine engine.07-14-2011
