  • Patent number: 8526935
    Abstract: A home appliance antenna assembly is integrated into the home appliance and extends from a demand response module or the appliance microprocessor where the module is integrated into the appliance. At least a portion of the antenna is preferably located adjacent an external surface of the home appliance and adapted for radio frequency (RF) communication. If an external demand supply module is wired to the home appliance, a conventional connection cable typically includes a spare wire that is not used and can thereby serve as a long wire antenna. In other appliances where the module is integrated into the appliance, an antenna is incorporated into the appliance in a utilitarian, but aesthetically unobtrusive manner.

  • Publication number: 20130079145
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to games and applications in general and in particular to computer-implemented online games playable on mobile devices. A mobile server receives a signal from a user to perform a mobile in-game action, where the signal is received at the mobile server via a mobile user interface on a mobile client device. The mobile server automatically performs a particular in-game action with respect to multiple in-game objects responsive to reception of the signal to perform the mobile in-game action. The performance of the particular in-game action with respect to the multiple in-game objects is responsive to user input on a browser user interface requiring multiple signals corresponding to the respective in-game objects.

  • Publication number: 20110140972
    Abstract: A home appliance antenna assembly is integrated into the home appliance and extends from a demand response module or the appliance microprocessor where the module is integrated into the appliance. At least a portion of the antenna is preferably located adjacent an external surface of the home appliance and adapted for radio frequency (RF) communication. If an external demand supply module is wired to the home appliance, a conventional connection cable typically includes a spare wire that is not used and can thereby serve as a long wire antenna. In other appliances where the module is integrated into the appliance, an antenna is incorporated into the appliance in a utilitarian, but aesthetically unobtrusive manner.
