Abstract: A system comprises a primary unit and a plurality of secondary units each having a unique unit number. The primary unit is configured to communicate a command to each secondary unit with instructions to reply during a time window. The primary unit is also configured to receive a reply communication indicating the secondary unit's unique unit number from at least one of the secondary units, and determine an address to assign to the replying secondary unit based at least in part on the received unique unit number.

Abstract: An HVAC system includes an outdoor heat exchanger. A first indoor heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a first zone. A second indoor heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a second zone. A compressor is fluidly coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger, the first indoor heat exchanger, and the second indoor heat exchanger. A first circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the first indoor heat exchanger and a second circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the second indoor heat exchanger. A first zone controller is electrically coupled to the first indoor heat exchanger.

A compressor is fluidly coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger, the first indoor heat exchanger, and the second indoor heat exchanger. A first zone controller is electrically coupled to the first indoor heat exchanger. The first zone controller is configured to measure a temperature in the first zone, compare the measured temperature to a setpoint temperature of the first zone, and responsive to a difference between the measured temperature and the setpoint temperature, adjust a speed of a first circulation fan independent of the speed of a second circulation fan.

Abstract: This invention uses a flying adder frequency synthesis circuit to provide the required frequency adjustments to accommodate the varying encoding density of a MPEG2 video data stream. This invention adjusts the local clock based on the information extracted from the program clock reference signal in the incoming data. This invention replaces an external or internal voltage-controlled crystal oscillator using a phase locked loop circuit on the video processing integrated circuit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting to a frame rate. The method displays the video frames with varying rates. The method comprising the steps of detecting a change in the frame rate, calculating the FREQ of the frame, adjusting the phase-locked loop utilizing the calculated FREQ, and utilizing the adjusted phase-locked loop output as the pixel clock to display the frame.
