  • System and method for detecting activity on a frequency band
    Patent number: 7593715
    Abstract: Described is a method for detecting activity on a frequency band. A wireless signal of a predetermined radio frequency band is received. The signal is processed into a plurality of subsignals, each subsignal corresponding to a particular radio frequency channel of the band. An energy level of the corresponding subsignal is determined, and, when the energy level is greater than a predetermined level, the corresponding channel is analyzed.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for configuring a mobile device
    Publication number: 20050203912
    Abstract: A method for configuring a mobile device includes receiving at least one of an audio and a video signal encoded with configuration data from an interface unit proximate the mobile device and configuring the mobile device based on the configuration data. In another embodiment, the method includes initiating a client-to-client connection between the mobile device and an interface unit coupled to the communication network, receiving configuration data from the interface unit over the client-to-client connection, and configuring the mobile device based on the configuration data.

  • Dual chamber activity responsive pacer
    Patent number: 4951667
    Abstract: An activity responsive, rate adaptive pacer, which senses and paces in both the atrium and ventricle is disclosed. The pacing rate displayed by the pacer is determined by the sensed activity of the patient, the programmed lower rate, and the patient's atrial or sinus rate.
