  • Publication number: 20240333417
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for placing bits in an isochronous data stream from a first data port to a second data port. A device may inject, using a first port, based on a periodicity less than a defined frame rate of a data stream comprising multiple frames, a status or control bit in place of one or more low-order bits, reserved bits, or unused bits of a frame of the data stream, wherein the frame includes one or more data words; receive, using a second port synchronized to the periodicity, the data stream from the first port; extract, using the second port, based on the periodicity, the status or control bit; and extract, using the second port, a remainder of the frame.

  • Patent number: 10712133
    Abstract: An impact indication system for indicating an impact of a projectile on a target. The impact indication system includes an impact sensing system including a g-force sensor, a housing engagable with the target, and a first computing device including at least a processor and a memory. The impact indication system further includes a signal output unit including a housing, a signal output device, a second computing device including a processor and a memory, the first computing device operable to send a signal to the second computing device in response to sensing the impact, and the second computing device operable to produce a signal indicative of the impact.

  • Publication number: 20050108454
    Abstract: A method and apparatus implementing an enhanced protocol between an I2C master and an I2C slave. In various embodiments the invention permits greater addressability space and high priority access to the slave device. The enhanced protocol is implemented by the addition of command code data being transmitted which is recognized through an interface circuit inside the slave device. The invention provides an I2C solution for accessing high priority address space with one command byte, medium priority space with two command bytes and low priority space with three command bytes.

  • Patent number: 6319631
    Abstract: This invention is a U-shaped connector having horizontal flanges, the connector being used for attaching a substrate having an aperture to a battery cell. The connector is first soldered to a substrate with the horizontal flanges mating with the top of the substrate, while the U-shaped portion of the connector protrudes through the aperture in the substrate. The connector and substrate assembly can then be welded to a battery cell. In an alternate embodiment, service loops are added to the connector to give the substrate greater range of motion relative to the cell.
