Abstract: An audio system that comprises an audio server and individual speaker clients may be connected. Individual speaker clients may or may not be the same physical configuration. When the audio server detects each speaker client, the audio server configures each speaker to a particular purpose. This allows remote configurable speakers to be used for different features. Other audio devices may also be connected to the audio server.

Abstract: A stackable communications apparatus comprises modules to be powered on in a sequence. Each of the modules comprises components that perform an individual function or group of functions of the apparatus, each module in the plurality of modules comprising an individual chassis stackable with at least another individual chassis of at least another module in the plurality of modules. The modules comprise at least two modules establishing surface contacts by stacking. The surface contacts maintain, without physical cabling, power connection between the at least two modules. A preceding module in the sequence determines, via a power controller in communication with a power controller of a next module, a power requirement of the next module. The power controller of the preceding module in the sequence enables power to the next module if a remaining power from the preceding module is greater than the power requirements of the next module.
Abstract translation: 可堆叠通信装置包括要按顺序上电的模块。 每个模块包括执行装置的单独功能或一组功能的组件,多个模块中的每个模块包括可与多个模块中的至少另一个模块的至少另一单独底盘共享的单个机箱。 模块包括通过堆叠建立表面接触的至少两个模块。 表面触点在没有物理布线的情况下保持至少两个模块之间的电源连接。 序列中的前述模块通过与下一个模块的功率控制器进行通信的功率控制器来确定下一个模块的功率需求。 如果前一模块的剩余电源大于下一个模块的电源要求,则该顺序中的上一个模块的电源控制器可以为下一个模块供电。

Abstract: A multimedia signal processing system utilizes an easily manipulated, low-cost storage and display system that allows the user to view a television program and instantly review previous scenes within the program. The invention also allows the user to store selected programs while simultaneously watching or reviewing another. A versatile system architecture enables providing the invention in multiple configurations, each adapted to receive input signals from a different source. At the highest level, the system includes an input section and an output section. Across all configurations, the output section remains substantially the same, while the input section varies according to the signal type and the source. Thus, several configurations are provided, each one requiring only minor system board modifications. The system architecture thus simplifies the design and manufacturing challenge presented by producing units to serve different markets, such as digital satellite, digital cable and analog cable.
