  • Patent number: 10419497
    Abstract: A method includes receiving via an audio playback device a first multicast transmission (e.g., an SSDP(HTTP)/Bonjour(DNS) presence announcement) from a computer hosting a digital media server. The first multicast transmission provides an indication of the presence of the digital media server (e.g., DLNA music server) on a network (e.g., a LAN). A request for a unicast connection is transmitted via the audio playback device to the digital media server, and, in the absence of a response to the request for a unicast connection, a second multicast transmission is transmitted via the audio playback device. The second multicast transmission includes information that allows the digital media server to establish a connection with the audio playback device to facilitate transmission of a unicast request for content.

  • Patent number: 10105830
    Abstract: An electronic click wrench comprises a handle for applying torque through a shaft to a working head. The shaft includes torque sensing means for calculating the torque applied to a workpiece by the working head, and a trigger mechanism for sending a haptic feedback to a user by triggering a small movement of the handle relative to the working head when a set point torque is reached. The trigger mechanism comprises a permanent magnet that is normally anchored by magnetic attraction to a pole piece so as to resist separation when a force is applied through the handle, and an electromagnetic means actuable to reduce or cancel that magnetic attraction so as to permit separation of the pole piece and permanent magnet, thus generating the haptic feedback. Operation of the electromagnet may oppose the flux of the permanent magnet through the pole piece. Alternatively operation of the electromagnet may divert the flux of the permanent magnet away from the pole piece.
