Abstract: A switch matrix circuit module for routing signals. In an example, the module includes a switch matrix coupled with first and second switches. The switch matrix is configured to receive a plurality of input signals, and output a selected one of the plurality of input signals as a first intermediate signal and another selected one of the plurality of input signals as a second intermediate signal. The first switch receives the first intermediate signal and a first auxiliary signal, and outputs a first output signal, and the second switch receives the second intermediate signal and a second auxiliary signal, and outputs a second output signal. A number of the modules can be coupled together to provide a switch matrix circuit, which can be readily scaled by adding further modules. In an example, the plurality of input signals are radio frequency (RF) signals.

Abstract: A method for regulating flow of electromagnetic radiation into a volume such as a duct includes defining on a reflective surface an array of two or more ridges which are arranged side by side and projecting toward the source. Each ridge is formed by reflective ridge surfaces converging toward an apex so that the reflection directions of the surfaces are different. The ridges are arranged relative to the source so that first reflective ridge surface reflects primarily toward the upstream location and second reflective ridge surface reflects onto the first reflective ridge surface of a next adjacent ridge and thereby primarily toward the upstream location so that the array of ridges acts to form a restriction to flow of radiation toward the downstream location. This can increase an amount of the radiation within the duct by reflecting the radiation back into the duct and to reduce an amount of radiation escaping the duct.

Abstract: Methods and systems for accessing content are provided. A non-tunable device (e.g., a device without the capability to tune to a particular channel) can access a particular channel via a tunable device (e.g., a device with the capability to tune to the particular channel). A computing device can facilitate content tuning. As an example, the non-tunable device can send user information (e.g., a request for content) to the computing device. The computing device can reserve the available tuner and transmit the tuning information (e.g., tuner reservation identifier) to the non-tunable device. Upon receiving the tuning information, the non-tunable device can transmit a tuning request (e.g., all or portion of tuning information, device identifier) to the tunable device. Upon receiving the tuning request, the tunable device can tune to the particular requested channel and transmit a data asset (e.g., requested content, tuning denial) to the non-tunable device.
