Abstract: A method, system, and device for updating and debugging the firmware of a microcontroller or FPGAs resident on PCB assemblies contained within OEM machines is disclosed. The system comprises a portable, configurable transport device with two interface adapters. The first adapter is a programming adapter for interfacing the device with a programming interface port, such as JTAG; ISP, SPI, or debugWIRE of a microcontroller to enable the deployment of firmware to OEM equipment. The second adapter is one commonly used for interfacing a remote deployment server such as a web or file server. It may be interfaced with a personal computer, such as USB, firewire, printer, serial, WIFI, or Ethernet connections or may contain any physical interface to connect directly to the deployment server.

Abstract: A combination drinking container and electronic audio amplification device includes a container for holding a beverage having a sidewall structure with an open top and an open bottom. A base assembly is connected to the container and includes a base holding a speaker isolated from the beverage adjacent the open bottom of the container and retaining a sound generating device and a source of electrical power in communication with the speaker and the sound device. The speaker converts electrical signals from the sound generating device and emits sound waves that are projected through and conducted by the sidewall structure for delivery through the open top of the container.
