Abstract: A display system with a backlight includes a panel composed of a plurality of pixels; a backlight driver that controls illumination of the backlight by a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control signal; and a timing controller that synchronizes with the backlight driver by a synchronization control signal. A portion of the PWM control signal within a period of the synchronization control signal is adjusted when a frame rate deviates from a predetermined rate, the frame rate representing a frequency at which images are displayed on the panel.

Abstract: An apparatus including a home automation system having a plurality of sensors that detect events within a predetermined geographic area, a first wireless sensor of the plurality of sensors that operates within the home automation system under a Z-wave format wherein the first wireless sensor has a number of predetermined system operating attributes that are not related to a system address of the first sensor, a replacement wireless sensor having a processor that communicates under a Z-wave format and a program executing on a processor of the home automation system that operatively removes the first sensor from the home automation system and automatically enrolls the replacement sensor with the home automation system by assigning the predetermined system operating attributes to the replacement sensor.
