  • Radio with embedded RFID
    Patent number: 9367786
    Abstract: A radio (100) comprises a radio housing (102) having external radio features (104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116) located on a surface of the radio housing. At least one of the external radio features is removable and replaceable by another external radio feature having a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag (120) embedded therein for retrofitting the radio (100) with RFID capability.

  • Method for moving-object detection tracking identification cueing of videos
    Patent number: 9256957
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking a spherical ball is presented. A system includes grayscale conversion logic configured to convert an input image into a grayscale image. Motion detection logic detects motion of the ball in the grayscale image and generates a motion likelihood image output. Template matching logic template matches the input image and generates a template likelihood image output indicating where the ball is in the grayscale image. Color matching logic color matches the ball to the input image and generates a color space likelihood image. Fusion logic produces a final fused likelihood image output based on the motion likelihood image output, template likelihood image output and color space likelihood image output. Ball localization logic generates a ball location value and a confidence based on finding an optimal value in the final fused likelihood image output.

  • Power amplifier module assembly
    Patent number: 6950309
    Abstract: A power amplifier module assembly (100) includes a PA module (102) having a flange (104) and a mounting bracket (106) coupled thereto. A thermally conductive pad (108) having an electrically conductive surface (110) that couples to the mounting bracket (106) and the flange (104) via a chassis (204) so as to provide both shielding and thermal dissipation to the PA module (102).
