Abstract: A host electronic device that supports both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Controller Area Network (CAN) connections is provided. The host electronic device drives at least one USB signal line and measures the voltage thereof. When the measured voltage indicates a USB connection from a peripheral device, the host electronic device determines that the peripheral device is a USB device. Otherwise, the host electronic device determines that the peripheral device is a CAN device.

Abstract: A host electronic device that supports both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Controller Area Network (CAN) connections is provided. When the host electronic device detects connection from a peripheral electronic device that uses the CAN protocol, the host electronic device switches to USB-C alternate mode and routes CAN signals over sideband use signals.

Abstract: A coupling harness, including a coupling clamp, for capturing a coupled signal from signal lines is provided. The coupling harness has an orientation detector that determines whether the coupled signal needs to be complemented based on an orientation of the coupling clamp relative to the signal lines. A logic corrector complements the coupled signal based on an output of the orientation detector. Advantageously, signals may be coupled correctly from signal lines regardless of the orientation of the coupling clamp.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a virtual music experience. The techniques include source separating an arbitrary digital audio input into a plurality of source-separated tracks. Sets of music features are determined from the plurality of source-separated tracks and provided to a video presentation system at a video frame rate of the video presentation system. The providing the sets of music features to the video presentation system causes the video presentation system to animate one or more graphical assets based on the provided sets of music features.

Abstract: An internet accessible server operates with a large database of places that provide goods and/or services. When a cell phone user finds need for a product or service, a user application stored in the phone is operated to display and then select a category heading from a list stored in memory, and upon selection, a cell connection is made via data transmission to the server. The server responds by sending to the phone, a list of the places within its database that are in the category and location selected by the phone user. When the user then selects one of the places, the server provides an enable signal and the cell phone is then able to display and dial the associated phone number. Billing to the selected place is then made based on the marketing service provided.
