Abstract: A firearm-mounted system for remotely controlling firearm components and user body-attached systems is provided. The system comprises a manually activated remote-control device mounted to a side area of a firearm rail that when activated receives at least a first manual entry into a keypad of the remote-control device. The system also transmits instructions associated with the entry to an optical device attached to the firearm, the instructions causing the optical device to display at least one configuration optic. The system also receives at least a second manual entry into the keypad, instructions generated by the entry causing selection of the least one configuration optic, the selection thereafter executed by the optical device. The device mounts to a right side of the rail for left-handed users and to a left side of the rail for right-handed users. The device communicates wirelessly and/or via wired connection with the optical device.

Abstract: A system for extending range of target engagement is provided. The system comprises a long firearm with a day optic sight attached and a clip-on thermal sight installed forward of the day optic sight. The clip-on thermal sight receives rotation of 90 degrees lengthwise along the firearm, display orientation of view finder changed from horizontal to vertical, and improves, based at least on the rotation and changed orientation, the aspect ratio is favorably altered to increase number of vertical mils available for target engagement. The range and situational awareness are both simultaneously enhanced while maintaining the number of pixels on the target by increasing the sensor resolution.

Abstract: A communications device includes a communication receiver. The communications receiver is configured to receive a message with location information, determine the location of the communication device, and output the message only when the communication device is within the location specified by the location information.

Abstract: A Specific Location Space Communication System which provides information to subscriber as function of their location and group memberships. A receiver device gets messages from space and/or aerial communication station which are selectively passed to the subscriber based on set parameters in the receiver message and more. Further, the receiver devices with transmitting capability can provide status, location and memory data to multitude of terrestrial, aerial and space based receivers. Further, the received message is classified in to an emergency alert message, advertising message, commerce message, control message etc.

Abstract: A broadcast system for consolidating and broadcasting the information from a broadcast server to the specific location and a communication receiver configured to receive broadcast message, determine the location of the communication receiver, and output the message to the communication device when the communication receiver is within the location specified in the received message or when the received message matches one or more criteria associated with configuration or location or unique address of the communication device. The communication receiver provides means of collecting information from the communication device and the communication device operator and presenting it to the message broadcasting entity.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to adapting the frequency of an electronic device comprising an integrated circuit and an electronic component to improve performance. The integrated circuit determines a set of frequency plans, each corresponding to a distribution of delay range highest passing values and one of a set of frequencies at which the electronic device can operate. Based on communication with the electronic component, the integrated circuit implements a preferred frequency plan.

Abstract: In general, the disclosure is directed to techniques for reducing power consumption within computing devices, such as wireless communication devices. A device dynamically adjusts the CPU clock frequency based on CPU load in order to reduce power consumption. The device monitors the load of the CPU using a number of sample interrupts. The device determines whether to adjust the clock frequency based on the monitored load of the CPU. In general, the device increases the clock frequency when the load of the CPU is high and decreases the clock frequency when the load of the CPU is low.

Abstract: An electronic circuit including an oscillator and having known physical device characteristics is operated by supplying a core voltage to the electronic circuit from a cold start, measuring output frequency of the oscillator during the cold start, and determining a material index from the output frequency based on the physical device characteristics.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to communications. The systems and techniques include determining the temperature and process speed of chips used in communications devices. The systems and techniques include measuring the output of ring oscillators embedded in the chips, and calculating the temperature and process speed therefrom.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to calibrating an integrated circuit to an electronic component. The systems and techniques include an integrated circuit configured to generate a system clock and an external clock having a programmable delay from the system clock. The integrated circuit may also be configured to provide the external clock to the electronic component to support communications therewith, communicate with the electronic component, and calibrate the external clock delay as a function of the communications.
