  • Publication number: 20240085754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to display constructs that can be fixed or movable. The display constructs can be configured to facilitate media display at opposite sides. The display constructs may be is at least partially transparent and can be viewed therethrough. Various interactive capabilities with the display construct are disclosed, as well as various installation component and kits. Further disclosed are wireless chargers embedded in fixtures and/or real assets of a facility.

  • Patent number: 9723406
    Abstract: A set of audio output devices may be established and configured to output channel specific audio. Once established, the channel configuration may be changed and updated in response to events such as changes to user preference, or the addition or subtraction of audio output devices to the network. In some embodiments, the reconfiguration may be performed on the fly while audio content is being outputted by the audio output devices.

  • Patent number: 9641987
    Abstract: To ensure that multicasts from access points sent in response to periodic beacons reach a variety of listening clients that may have longer sleep intervals than an interval between beacons, this disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for multicasting bursts of frames where a burst number is selected so as to be equal to or greater than a range of common sleep intervals. Further, where multicast frames are re-multicast according to known protocols, the repeated bursts can be offset from the re-multicast start time suggested by the protocol, in order to increase a likelihood that clients with especially long sleep intervals receive the multicast frame.

  • Patent number: 9578418
    Abstract: Multiple audio output devices are individually triggered to generate an acoustic identification signal. A controller device can perform a comparison of the acoustic identification signal from each of the multiple audio output devices. The output from one or multiple audio output devices is controlled based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 9565594
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for establishing a virtual communication link including at least a first and second physical link between two devices. A single virtual packet queue of a device may receive one or more data packets to be transmitted via the virtual communication link. The single virtual packet queue may attach a virtual sequence number to each of the one or more data packets and send the one or more data packets to one or more of the first or the second physical link according to the assigned virtual sequence numbers. The one or more packets may then be communicated via the first and/or second physical links according to link specific sequence numbers, such as medium access control (MAC) sequence numbers, assigned to the one or more data packets by the first and/or second physical links.

  • Patent number: 8842828
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to improve performance of a communications device receiving encrypted communications from multiple sources. The communications device is configured to increase the amount of decryption performed using a hardware-based process as compared to a software-based process by reprogramming the hardware to store a shared security key corresponding to a frame received from a source, allowing the hardware-based process to decrypt subsequent frames from that source.
