Abstract: A system includes a first lead connecting to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a right side of a vehicle, and a first strobing light module having a first microcontroller connected to the first lead and operating a first light capable of strobing operation. A second lead connects to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a left side of the vehicle, and a second strobing light module having a second microcontroller connects to the second lead and operating a light capable of strobing operation. The first and second microcontrollers are communicatively coupled and each provides a signal to the other when it has detected activation of its respective lead. The first and second microcontrollers both strobe their respective light capable of strobing operation upon receiving the signal from the other and the signal from their own respective lead.

Abstract: The toy vehicle track connector apparatus (or track connector) is a one piece construction that provides a support structure for a toy racetrack while increasing the degrees of freedom (DoF) of said track. The track connector may be used to create and support a variety of different racetrack structures or race car scenarios. Multiple track connectors may be used in a system to create an entire toy race car track. The track connector is a fully modular component of the toy racetrack system; track connectors may be swapped or replaced in a system without affecting the rest of the system. The track connector may be in the form of a substantially rectangular block, preferably a cube, forming six substantially planar faces or sides, and further comprising a connector protrusion, a connector aperture, a channel portion, a groove, a raised aperture portion, and a recessed line.

Abstract: A hazard beacon has an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to detect that vehicle emergency indicators have been deployed, a plurality of separately strobe capable light segments forming a hazard symbol, and a microcontroller controlling operation of the plurality of separately strobe capable light segments.

Abstract: A system prevents activation of strobe lights on a vehicle in response to events calculated to indicate a nuisance activation. Directional strobing may be activated based on input from vehicles systems.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.

Abstract: A system includes a microcontroller that controls illumination of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operable in a flashing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as hazard flashers visible on a front and rear of a vehicle and a strobing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as strobing lights visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. The system includes a strobe activation switch that provides a signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights in the second strobing state. The microcontroller operates the plurality of vehicle lights in the first hazard flasher state in response activation of an existing hazard flasher switch. The strobing state has a flash rate that is perceptibly faster than a flash rate of the flashing state.

Abstract: A method in a soundfield-capturing endpoint and the capturing endpoint that comprises a microphone array capturing soundfield, and an input processor pre-processing and performing auditory scene analysis to detect local sound objects and positions, de-clutter the sound objects, and integrate with auxiliary audio signals to form a de-cluttered local auditory scene that has a measure of plausibility and perceptual continuity. The input processor also codes the resulting de-cluttered auditory scene to form coded scene data comprising mono audio and additional scene data to send to others. The endpoint includes an output processor generating signals for a display unit that displays a summary of the de-cluttered local auditory scene and/or a summary of activity in the communication system from received data, the display including a shaped ribbon display element that has an extent with locations on the extent representing locations and other properties of different sound objects.

Abstract: Synchronization of related packet data network streams is provided. Synchronization is achieved by inserting synchronization packets into data streams that are to be aligned with one another after transmission of those data streams across a network. More particularly, corresponding synchronization packets are inserted into the corresponding data streams at the same time, to serve as markers for performing synchronization of the data at the receiving end. The corresponding data streams may comprise an audio data stream and a corresponding video data stream.
