  • Video game controller
    Patent number: 11712618
    Abstract: A video game controller can automatically operate as a video game controller with audio capability and a video game controller without audio capability based upon a signal received via a switch in communication with an audio jack of the video game controller when a headset is coupled to the audio jack. Connection of the headset to the controller automatically causes video game audio to be communicated from the video game console to the headset via the controller. The video game audio is communicated at a default volume level to the headset upon coupling of the headset to the video game controller. The volume level of the audio communicated to the headset can be adjustable up or down via a directional pad of the video game controller while an audio control button on the video game controller is pressed.

  • Portable device for controlling subsystems including exhaust subsystems of vehicles
    Patent number: 11708781
    Abstract: A portable device receives power from a battery of a vehicle when connected to the vehicle via a connector in the vehicle. The portable device determines whether an engine of the vehicle is running and a speed of the vehicle if the engine is running. The portable device clears fault codes of ECUs if the engine is not running. The portable device resets parameters of an ECU controlling an exhaust system of the vehicle to default values if the portable device remains connected to the vehicle for a predetermined time period after sending clearing the fault codes. If the engine is running and that the speed of the vehicle is zero, the portable device initiates a forced regeneration of a diesel particulate filter of the exhaust system.
