Abstract: Sensor parameters in a remote game peripheral are dynamically. The remote game peripheral may contain one or more sensors that measure the motion of the remote game peripheral via at least one sensor. This information is communicated to a game server. The game server then determines if the sensor sensitivity setting is appropriate for the expected motion of the remote game peripheral at that point in the game. The game server may, at any time during game play, transmit a sensor sensitivity adjustment to adjust the sensor sensitivity level setting to one that is likely to capture the motion of the game peripheral with minimal loss of data. The dynamic adjustment of the sensitivity level may also be used to provide corrective feedback to a game player.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an enhanced resonant circuit amplifier are described herein. Using a capacitor to couple the drive to the resonant circuit can be problematic because the current flows the same direction with every energy burst, which causes the coupling capacitor to charge up and stop injecting energy into the resonant circuit. To solve this issue, embodiments disclosed herein add a burst of energy once every half cycle. This reduces distortion in the resonant energy. A second benefit is the ability to “push in” and “pull out” energy from the resonant circuit, which can prevent the capacitor from charging up and allow a resonant circuit amplifier to continually produce a symmetric, stable output. In addition, a controller can dynamically modify a number of aspects of an output, e.g., an amplitude and/or a DC bias, by modifying the duty cycle of an input signal.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing clock slip in a system where real time data is transmitted over a wireless network. A wireless frame synchronization signal can be received from a remote device. The synchronization signal can be used to reset the clock that drives the wireless transmission of data, the clock that drives the analog to digital converter and/or a clock that drives a digital to analog converter.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gaming system having a processing device and a remote input device that is operationally coupled to the processing device. The remote input device may include a motion sensor. The resolution of the motion sensor may be set dynamically from the game software, such that both gross and fine gestures can have the maximum effect. By enabling the game software to assess and control the resolution requirements, and enabling the input device to adjust and respond accordingly, relatively fine gestures, as well as relatively gross gestures, can be discerned and depicted with better accuracy and precision.

Abstract: The dynamic switching of a bi-endian processor between endian modes is described. A device having the bi-endian processor may also have an endian select circuit. The endian select circuit may receive a signal from the processor that determines what the endian-ness should be after the processor resets. Special instruction code may be executed by the processor in both little and big endian modes. The special instruction code may, for instance, cause a processor in a first endian mode to output a signal and reset, while the same instruction code may cause a processor in a second endian mode to neither output the signal nor reset. Instead, the processor in the second endian mode may jump to a new instruction address and proceed with normal processing.
