  • Patent number: 8786468
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of determining bearing and distance measurements between a mobile device and an object using Rf based measurements. The mobile device communicates with a control in the object to determine the relative bearing between the mobile device and the object with respect to magnetic north and, optionally, the distance between the mobile device and the object. An indicator on the mobile device aid in directing s the user of the mobile device toward the object as the mobile device is moved relative to the object. The mobile device can be a key fob and the object can be a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20080046863
    Abstract: Software attributes assigned to graphical objects of a graphical program are automatically reapplied to graphical objects of a modified version of the graphical program to enable concurrent graphical program development and automatic code generation. Changes between original and modified versions of graphical program are ascertained and software attributes from objects of the original version are copied to objects of the modified version where appropriate. Unique static identification codes are assigned to the objects of the original and modified graphical programs, and are used as a basis for determining if the software attributes from the original version can be applied to the objects in the modified version.

  • Patent number: 5595449
    Abstract: A keyboard for data entry has a rigid portion containing a pump and a flexible inflatable portion including inflatable keys. A flexible circuit has a pair of contacts for each key which are bridged by key operation and extends through both portions to carry key operation signals to a processor in the rigid portion. A release valve permits deflation to a small size for storage and the pump effects inflation to its full size for operation.
