  • Patent number: 7650513
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a multimedia storage and transfer. The system includes a first data storage device in a first vehicle, a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a second data storage device in a second vehicle, and a controller coupled to the wireless transceiver and first data storage device. The first data storage device has an embedded database configured to store multimedia files. The embedded database has a list of multimedia file content. The controller is configured to remove the list of multimedia file content from the first data storage device and transfer the list of multimedia file content to the second data storage device via the wireless transceiver.

  • Patent number: 7450603
    Abstract: System, methods, and apparatus are provided for wireless vehicle-to-vehicle sharing of multimedia data. The system includes a data storage device configured to store multimedia data packets transmitted by a system broadcast, a processor coupled to the data storage device and configured to determine a non-received group of multimedia data packets based on the stored multimedia data packets of the system broadcast, and a transceiver coupled to the processor. The transceiver is configured to receive multimedia data packets transmitted from the system broadcast and multimedia data packets transmitted from a system vehicle in response to the request signal. The method includes the steps of determining non-received multimedia data packets based on a system broadcast in a first wireless protocol, and requesting multimedia data packets of the non-received multimedia data packets in a second wireless protocol from system vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5357191
    Abstract: The disclosure shows the use of a plurality of individually moveable probes in an X-Y plane which may contact points of networks on a circuit board on either side thereof and measure the discharge time of a charged network. The specification also discloses the utilization of a common connector to a conductive reference plane to provide a terminal point for any of the plurality of probes. Each probe is a dual-purpose probe in that it may be utilized for a discharge test of each network, or it may be used in a combination with another probe to measure the resistance of a network. In most instances, the circuit board under test will include a common conductive reference plane which may be utilized as one side of a test source. Each network is tested as to discharge time against a norm which is previously determined; if the discharge time is too long above the norm, such long discharge time will indicate a possible fault.
