Abstract: A transmitter module for unidirectional communication with a receiver module and a method using the aforementioned. The transmitter module includes a carrier detection portion, a source processing portion coupled to the carrier detection portion and a source transmission portion coupled to the source processing portion. The source processing portion can receive and process an information signal to produce a processed information signal in a manner such that an appropriate carrier signal is modulated with the information signal. The appropriate carrier signal can be based on the detection signals communicated from the carrier detection portion. The source processing portion can further process the information signal in a manner such that the processed information signal is associable with at least one of a unique code and an indication signal. The indication signal is associable with absence of communication of the at least one communication signal in a communication medium.

Abstract: There is provided a control apparatus and method for controlling a sound reproduction apparatus. The control apparatus and method enables control of at least one parameter of audio reproduction depending on contact with a touch sensitive panel. The parameters which may be controlled include, for example, volume, bass, treble, equalizer settings and the like. The functions of the sound reproduction apparatus which may be controlled include, for example, radio channel selection, track selection, album selection and the like.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic bass frequency control, the system comprising: a bandwidth filter coupled to a plurality of switchable electronic components for filtering a frequency range of an input signal; an amplifier coupled to the bandwidth filter and the plurality of switchable electronic components, the amplifier being configured for adjusting amplitude of the filtered frequency range of the input signal based on a configuration of the plurality of switchable electronic components; and a signal level detector coupled to the switchable electronic components for determining signal strength of the input signal, the signal level detector being configured to switch the plurality of switchable electronic components between more than one configuration based on the signal strength of the input signal, each configuration determining the frequency range of the input signal to be filtered by the bandwidth filter and the amplitude adjustment to be made to the filtered frequency range of the input signal by the am

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for updating/modifying/upgrading the system configuration of a stand alone non-network connectible device. The method is performed while a portable device is docked to the non-network connectible device. System configuration update information is embedded within the ordinary data content that is received from the portable device during the routine operation of the stand alone non-network connectible device. Upon receiving the embedded system configuration update information the non-network connectible device decrypts the embedded information and updates the system configuration accordingly. Generation of the embedded system configuration update information is performed in the portable docking device, and installation is performed on the non-network connectible device without requiring a network connection in the stand alone device.
