  • Patent number: 12338670
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an overhead door operator system and to a method for controlling such a system. The overhead door operator system opens and closes an opening. The system includes a first frame section (4) at a first side (7) of the opening (2) and a second frame section (6) at a second side (5) of the opening (2). A door (8) is movably connected to the door frame (3). A drive unit (10) is mounted on the door (8). An elongated transmission member (19) extends along the first side (7) of the opening (2) and the first frame section (4). The drive unit (10) includes a driven transmission member (18) in driving connection with the motor (11) and the elongated transmission member. The method comprises the steps of: detecting door movement; determining if detected door movement relates to unexpected door movement; and, if so, taking action so as to prevent more extensive damages.

  • Patent number: 11181402
    Abstract: Sensors in one or more remote devices provide sensor output to a device having a controller. The controller analyzes the sensor data to determine the accuracy of the sensors outputting the sensor data. Based on the analysis, the controller calculates a calibration value to utilize in calibrating one or more of the sensors in the remote devices, or in one or more other devices.

  • Patent number: 10948289
    Abstract: A base unit includes a sensor calibration function. When a user communicatively couples a consumer electronic device having a sensor to the base unit, a controller at the base unit retrieves a calibration reference value for the sensor and/or a sensor algorithm that utilizes data output by the sensor. The base unit then sends the calibration reference value to the consumer electronic device to set a sensor calibration parameter associated with the sensor and/or the sensor algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9685156
    Abstract: A low-power voice command detection method uses an audio monitoring device to capture sound. The captured sound is analyzed in steps to determine if it fulfills a number of criteria regarding sound level, voice content and identifiable voice commands. For each step the processing is more complex and power demanding. A threshold between the first and subsequent steps is used to gate further processing. This threshold is dynamically adjusted, based on the outcome of the analysis, to avoid unnecessary processing and increase system performance.

  • Patent number: 9237393
    Abstract: An audio headset system for a mobile phone or other audio player includes a pair of earpieces, each including a speaker in a housing and configured to provide audio output, the housing configured for positioning with respect to a user's ear to direct audio output to the ear; and a pair of accelerometers configured to provide acceleration information representative of acceleration of the respective earpieces, wherein together the acceleration information provided from both accelerometers is representative of angular motion in a horizontal plane of the head of a user. The angular motion may be used as inputs to carry out functions of the mobile phone, e.g., to provide sound adjustments for three dimensional stereophonic sound, to provide navigation information to a user, to play games, and so on.
