Abstract: A keypad capable of being configured with multiple button configurations with buttons of various heights is configured to recognize the button configuration through actuations of the buttons. The keypad is placed in a configuration mode by inputting an unresolvable condition to the keypad. Once in the configuration mode, the buttons are individually actuated in a predefined order to configure the size and function of each button.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for determining which controllable device an audible command is directed towards, the method comprising: receiving at each of two or more controlling devices the audible command signal, the audible command being directed to control at least one of two or more controllable devices controlled by a respective one of the two or more controlling devices; digitizing each of the received audible command signals; attaching a unique identifier to each digitized audible command so as to uniquely correlate it to a respective controlling device; determining a magnitude of each of the digitized audible command; determining a digitized audible command with the greatest magnitude, and further determining to which controlling device the audible command is directed to on the basis of the unique identifier associated with the digitized audible command with the greatest magnitude; performing speech recognition on the digitized audible command with the greatest magnitude; and forwarding a command to the controlling device corresponding to the digitized audible command with the greatest magnitude, the command corresponding to the audible command that can be implemented on the controllable device controlled by the controlling device.

Abstract: A rail balancing circuit is described herein for use with a power supply, the RBC comprising: a circuit adapted to respond to over-voltage and under-voltage conditions in the power supply that comprises a positive rail voltage source and a negative rail voltage source, such that any deviation from a balanced condition between the positive rail voltage source and the negative rail voltage source is substantially instantaneously corrected to bring both the positive and negative rail voltage sources back to the balanced condition.

Abstract: An involute gear bracket system includes first and second involute gears. Each includes a circular base and a plurality of gear teeth extending outward from an outer region of a surface and evenly spaced apart from each other along a plurality of locations on the outer region of the surface. The shape of each gear tooth is defined by a varying cross-sectional involute profile, wherein starting from a first involute profile that is in a plane parallel to the surface of the circular base and extending outward from a center of the circular base, each location on the first involute profile is rotated about a corresponding axis while traversing a path defined by a corresponding imaginary ray extending from the center of the circular base to that location, the corresponding axis being tangential to an imaginary circle that encompasses the inner region of the surface and perpendicular to the corresponding imaginary ray. A first bracket is coupled to a first pivot located at a first distance from the central axis of the first involute gear. A second bracket is coupled to a second pivot and rotatable about the second pivot at least within a second range of angles. The first and second pivots are arranged relative to each other and relative to the central axes of the first and second involute gears, respectively, such that the gear tooth of the first involute gear meshes with the gear tooth of the second involute gear at a corresponding angle within a second range of angles.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically determining at least one lower limit of a horizontal sheers style roller shade. The roller shade comprising a roller tube, a shade material attached to the roller tube and comprising a first vertical layer interconnected to a second vertical layer via a plurality of horizontal vanes, a motor adapted to rotate the roller tube, a current sensing circuit adapted to detect current levels of the motor, and a controller adapted to control the motor and comprising at least one memory. The controller determines at least one lower limit by driving the motor in a first direction, receiving current levels from the current sensing circuit, observing current level profile of the received current levels, detecting a point of change in the current level profile, and using the point of change to set at least one of a lower tilt closed limit and a lower tilt open limit. During normal operation, the controller drives the motor between the upper limit and the lower tilt closed limit to raise or lower the shade material and between the lower tilt closed limit and the lower tilt open limit to open or close the vanes.

Abstract: A system and method executed by audio processing software on one or more electronic devices in a computer system to process digital audio signals. The system comprises a digitizer for digitizing a received audio signal; and processor for performing a plurality of audio processing functions on the digitized audio signals, each of the audio processing functions having at least one programmable parameter, and wherein each of the audio processing functions are categorized and grouped as audio objects, and organized into a channel strip, the channel strip processing digitized audio signals for a particular received audio signal, and wherein, the audio objects are fixed in order, so that the digitized received audio signals are processed by a predefined number of N audio objects, and wherein the N audio objects occur in a fixed sequence, and further wherein, the N audio objects comprise a first subset of non-exchangeable audio objects and a second subset of exchangeable audio objects, such that any one or more of the second subset of audio objects can be exchanged by a replacement audio object, and further wherein when the audio processing functions are programmed, they can be saved without compiling the audio processing software.

Abstract: A tabletop enclosure having a fully automatic self-actuated drop-down recessing flip-top cover. After the lid has automatically, spring open it begins to autonomously recess by sliding downwardly in a smooth controlled manner into the flip-top enclosure until it is substantially recessed. According to an embodiment, the enclosure includes modular rail guides designed to receive an interchangeable combination of single, dual, or triple, sized modules, each module having easy to use alignment module rails to ease module installation. Interchangeable modules are inserted from the top of the housing frame so that the tabletop enclosure can be configured for various connectivity scenarios.
