  • Patent number: 7457380
    Abstract: A low noise circuit includes a clocked circuit and an impedance trap circuit. The clocked circuit includes a clock input, an input, an output, a power supply connection, and a power return connection. The clock input is operably coupled to receive a clock signal. The clocked circuit provides an output signal at the output based on an input signal at the input and a transition of the clock signal. The power supply connection is operably coupled to a power supply and the power return is operably coupled to a circuit ground. The impedance trap circuit is operably coupled to the power supply connection and the power return connection, wherein the impedance trap circuit attenuates a harmonic signal component of at least one of the input signal, the clock signal, and the output signal.

  • Publication number: 20060064730
    Abstract: A method for configuring an entertainment network begins by polling, by a master component of the entertainment network, slave components via a communication channel to identify active slave components of the entertainment network. The method continues by providing, by each of the active slave components, a profile response to the master component via the communication channel in response to the polling. The method continues by determining, by the master component, bandwidth requirements and configuration options of the entertainment network based on the profile responses of the active slave components and a profile of the master component.

    Abstract: A method for configuring a network of personal environment electronic equipment begins by receiving, by a master component of the network of personal environment electronic equipment, a user input identifying one of a plurality of slave components of the network of personal environment electronic equipment to produce identified slave component. The method continues by retrieving, by the master component, an application relating to operation of the identified slave component based on the user input. The method continues by establishing, by the master component, a connection via a communication channel with the identified slave component. The method continues by receiving, by the master component, an instructions regarding operation of the identified slave component. The method continues, when the connection with the identified slave component is established, by providing, by the master component, at least a representation of the instruction to the identified slave component via the communication channel.
