Abstract: This invention is directed toward an adapter that transmits the screen image from a handheld video game device or handheld video player to a television or computer monitor without requiring the user to open the handheld and thereby void the warranty. The invention clips onto the back of the handheld and uses a precision lens and mirror system or a direct capture method to capture the image and light from the handheld screen. The invention then converts this image into a video signal via a camera, and the signal (AV, SVideo, VGA, NTCS/PAL, USB, etc.) is sent through video leads from the invention to an output for a computer monitor or to a TV set. Power for the invention comes through a standard electrical plug and/or batteries. Additional features include multiple camera modes, focus and brightness adjustments, adaptability to NTSC and PAL modes, and plastic console holder for easy installation.

Abstract: An electronic circuit having reverse scan tuning comprises an IC radio having the forward scan function, in which a VCO capacitor is connected in parallel to a series connected resistor and switch, and a second switch is connects an input to an IF limiter amplifier to either circuit ground or a voltage supply. The invention makes it convenient for a user to search for a radio station by not having to start a search for a lower band station at the lowest end of the frequency band. The user does not need to push reset button to return to the lowest frequency when the user wants to receive a station whose frequency is lower than the current station.
