20090033513 | PAIRING WIRELESS DEVICES OF A NETWORK USING RELATIVE GAIN ARRAYS - A method for pairing a first wireless device with a second wireless device includes gathering a first wireless communications characteristic about communications between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The method further includes gathering second wireless communications characteristics about communications between the first wireless device and at least one wireless device other than the second wireless device. The method further includes generating a matrix using the first and second wireless communications characteristics and generating a relative gain array from the matrix and computing the pairing between the first wireless device and the second wireless device using the generated relative gain array. The method further includes configuring the first wireless device and/or the second wireless device based on the computed pairing. | 02-05-2009 |
20090096632 | Synchronization of haptic effect data in a media stream - Haptic information in a series of frames of a media file is identified and time stamps corresponding thereto are determined in accordance with information embedded in a tag either preceding or appending the media file. The haptic effect information is automatically synchronized to the media file based on the information in one or more frames of the tag, whereby an actuator outputs the defined haptic effects in the tag in a manner synchronized with corresponding audio and/or video content of the media file. | 04-16-2009 |
20090153350 | Method and Apparatus for Distributing Haptic Synchronous Signals - A haptic signal distribution system capable of distributing haptic synchronous signals includes a master haptic device and groups of slave haptic devices. In one embodiment, the master haptic device is configured to distribute haptic synchronous signals to slave haptic devices. The haptic synchronous signals, for instance, may include information relating to a tempo for a piece of music. A haptic signal distribution system, for example, allows a master wearable haptic device to selectively distribute haptic synchronous signals to one or more groups of slave wearable haptic devices via a wireless communications network. Upon receipt of the haptic synchronous signals, each slave wearable haptic device generates a series of haptic feedback having a rhythm of beats in response to the haptic synchronous signals. | 06-18-2009 |

20110025524 | SIGNAL CLOTHING - An article of signal clothing is provided. The signal clothing may comprise a clothing body, a signal generating unit, and a transceiving unit. The signal generating unit is disposed on the clothing body and configured to generate a signal periodically. The transfer unit is disposed on the clothing body, electrically connected to the signal generating unit, and configured to transmit a synchronization signal periodically in response to the signal generated periodically by the signal generating unit so that a corresponding signal clothing generates a corresponding signal after the receipt of the synchronization signal and generates the corresponding signal periodically in a operating frequency after generating the corresponding signal. | 02-03-2011 |

20080246626 | DATA TRANSACTION DIRECTION DETECTION IN AN ADAPTIVE TWO-WIRE BUS - Techniques for improving the quality or fidelity of a digital signal transmitted via a two-wire bus interconnect utilizing an open-terminal configuration at one or both end devices of the bus interconnect are disclosed. An intermediate two-wire bus is used to connect two open-terminal-based two-wire busses. A bus adapter device is utilized at each end of the intermediate two-wire bus, whereby the bus adapter device communicates signaling on the corresponding open-terminal-based two-wire bus using open-terminal ports and communicates signaling on the intermediate two-wire bus using push-pull ports. The bus adapter device can utilize control logic to implement a state machine or other function to control the interactions between the different two-wire buses. The bus adapter devices may be implemented as interchangeable integrated circuit devices that can change configuration based on connection, thereby permitting their implementation at either end of a bus transmission system. | 10-09-2008 |
20080309513 | System Comprising a Master Unit and a Plurality of Slave Units for Operating a Plurality of Devices - System including at least one master unit and a plurality of slave units, wherein the master unit and the slave units include means for performing communication via radio frequency channels. The at least one master unit includes means for transmitting control signals to the slave units, and the slave units are each provided with a unique address and are each associated with a controllable device. The at least one master unit includes means for executing a sequential transmission of control signals to at least one of the slave units. | 12-18-2008 |
20100231409 | COMMUNICATION CONTROLLER CIRCUIT FOR CONTROLLING CONTROLLED UNITS - A communication control circuit includes a shift register and a control data selector, and controls controlled units according to a data signal, a clock signal and a strobe signal inputted via three serial signal lines. The shift register serial-to-parallel converts the data signal sequentially taken in according to the clock signal into a converted signal, and outputs the converted signal. The control data selector selects control data for controlling the corresponding controlled unit from the signal from the shift register, in response to a device definition signal for identifying the communication control circuit, and outputs the same control data. | 09-16-2010 |
20110006908 | Synchronization of a Plurality of Devices in a Wireless Sensor Arrangement - Two or more wirelessly networked devices for control or data acquisition functions for real-time application are provided with a error corrected synchronization and data collection process. A single start device transmits a start message, followed by each stop device acknowledging that start message. If one or more stop devices fails to acknowledge the initial start message, one or more start messages are transmitted including an elapsed time since the initial start message. Each stop device receives the initial start message and any subsequent start messages, using the elapsed time in the start message to synchronize a local timer. Upon stop event detection, each stop device records its local timer value and subsequently transmits that value to a collection device or console. | 01-13-2011 |
