Abstract: The invention relate to a set of methods that can be used in portable electronic or wearable motion sensing devices or game controller assemblies, to calculate a plurality of motion parameters. Simplified binary values for motion information is also provided as well as a method to determine the orientation of the device relative to a body part that it is attached to. Embodiments of the invention can be wearable, e.g., worn on the human body, handheld in a game assembly, handheld in a toy or more generally attached to any movable body. The invention also provides a method for observers of a player of a video game or user of a computer application to combine camera data from the observer's smart device with the game play or application screen of the player or user's smart device on the observer's smart device.

Abstract: A calibration tool assembly is operatively connected to a control unit of a vehicle. The calibration tool assembly includes a plug on device (POD) that is electrically connected to the control unit of the vehicle. The POD includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a debugger port, which is controlled by the FPGA. The POD is operatively connected to the control unit of the vehicle. The debugger port bidirectionally transmits instructions between the FPGA and the control unit for the vehicle to debug and send instructions to the control unit. The calibration tool assembly also includes a hub, which is removably connected to the FPGA. The hub receives all measurement variable data from the control unit through the FPGA for analysis.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling ROM parameters embedded in a microprocessor software executable without modifications to the underlying source code. The method includes: presenting an software program having a plurality of machine instructions of a finite number of fixed lengths in an executable form; searching through the machine instructions of the executable and finding at least one appropriate instruction defined in a read only memory space to replace; defining a replacement instruction for identified machine instructions in the software program; and replacing identified machine instructions in the executable form of the software program with the replacement instruction. The replacement instruction may be further defined as a branch instruction that references an address outside an address space for the software program.
