  • Patent number: 12240606
    Abstract: A monitor stop system is disclosed. The system may include a top-tilting monitor. The system may also include a monitor shroud including a tab configured to prevent the monitor from actuating to the deployed position during an HIC event. The system may further include one or more monitor stop devices. Each monitor stop device may include a spring-loaded pin assembly and a housing configured to surround at least a portion of the spring-loaded assembly. The tab may be configured to translate towards an interior surface of the seatback bezel and may be configured to cause the pin to translate through one or more monitor stop openings of the seatback bezel. Upon the pin translating, the pin may be configured to capture at least a portion of the top-tilting monitor to prevent the top-tilting monitor from actuating to the deployed position during the HIC event.

  • Patent number: 9172344
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) signal is received in a receiver, and various counts based on information from the signal can be obtained. Counts of a number of samples of the RF signal exceeding first and second thresholds can be accumulated during an accumulation window. From the first of these counts, it can be determined if the count exceeds a first metric corresponding to a first predetermined count value, and if so, a gain of an RF gain element can be reduced. From the second of these counts it can be determined if this count exceeds a second metric corresponding to a second predetermined count value, and if not, the gain can be increased.

  • Patent number: 9124334
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a receiver front end circuit can receive and process multiple radio frequency (RF) signals and output downconverted signals corresponding to these signals. In turn, multiple signal processors can be coupled to this front end. Specifically, a first signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a first signal obtained from content of a first RF signal, and a second signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a second signal obtained from content of a second RF signal. In addition, the apparatus may include a detection circuit coupled to the receiver front end circuit to detect presence of at least the second signal and enable the second signal processor responsive to the detected presence.

  • Patent number: 9036762
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to generating compatible clock signals. In one embodiment, an apparatus is configured to receive an input clock signal and a reference clock signal. In this embodiment, the apparatus includes a rate estimation unit and a phase-locked loop (PLL) unit. In this embodiment, the PLL unit is configured to generate, using a control signal from the rate estimation unit and the input clock signal, a PLL output clock signal. In this embodiment, the rate estimation unit is configured to adjust the control signal such that the PLL output clock signal and the reference clock signal are compatible. In this embodiment, the rate estimation unit is configured to adjust the control signal based on the reference clock signal and a comparison clock signal generated by the apparatus based on the PLL output clock signal.
