Publication number: 20050190073Abstract: A method for providing control commands to electronic equipment from a remote location comprises receiving a control command signal transmitted from a remote location The control command signal has a first carrier wave that includes a noise component. The method further comprises removing the first carrier wave from the control command signal, such that the noise component is also removed, thereby producing a TTL signal. The method further comprises generating a second carrier wave having a frequency substantially equal to the first carrier wave. The method further comprises applying the second carrier wave to the TTL signal to produce an output command signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2005Publication date: September 1, 2005Inventors: Jon Berges, Jerry Curtis

Patent number: 6533225Abstract: An apparatus for mounting an audio control in a wall is disclosed. The apparatus includes a wall-mountable housing having cleats on the front inner rim thereof and a first set of horizontal ribs spaced equally along the interior walls thereof. An audio control housing is provided for supporting the audio control and engagement of the audio control to the wall-mounted housing. The audio control housing includes flex fingers with ridges formed thereon. The flex finger ridges are operative to retractably engage the cleats to secure the audio control housing within the wall-mounted housing. The ridges are set at different spacings apart so that the audio control housing may be engagably received within the wall-mounted housing set at different depths.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Dana InnovationsInventors: Jon Berges, Ray Call
