Abstract: An electronic device is coupled with a system and a device for controlling one or more components of a pool or a spa. The electronic device is substantially sealed from water and environmental intrusion to a desired protection level and located within a housing that is able to be coupled with a pool and/or a spa frame. A screen is able to display visual content based on content of the electronic device. The visual content is able to comprise song, album, and artist information and caller identification information of a call received by the electronic device. The system and device is usable to control one or more components of the pool and/or the spa.

Abstract: A speaker comprises an extendable feature configured to extend from a speaker body. The extendable feature is configured to reflect sound from the speaker when the extendable feature is in an extended position. The speaker body remains in a fixed position when the extendable feature moves to the extended position.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a housing unit, which allows an electronic device such as a portable digital audio player to be substantially hermetically sealed within an audio device. The electronic device is controllable by a user while housed with the housing unit. The audio device is able to be used in a vehicle such as a car, a camper, or a boat or in other common consumer products.

Abstract: A stereo system comprises a housing for removably docking and housing an electronic device and a way communication device. The communication device comprises a receiver which is configured for receiving a command signal and a control device which receives a signal from the receiver and sends a signal to one or both of an electronic device operation circuit and a stereo housing operation circuit based upon the signal sent to the receiver. In some embodiments, the command signal sent to the receiver is a voice command. Sending a command signal to the receiver and the communication device enables a user to control one or both of the electronic device and the stereo housing. In some embodiments, the communication device is configured to receive a signal from the electronic device and the stereo housing.

Abstract: A remote control for communicating with an electronic device and a stereo housing comprises a microphone, a remote control speaker, a controller, and a video screen that displays visual content based on content of the electronic device and the stereo housing. The visual content is able to comprise song, album, and artist information and caller identification information of a call received by the electronic device. In some embodiments, the remote control speaker plays audio from the electronic device and the audio system. In some embodiments, the remote control is able to divert audio content including phone calls between the remote control speaker and a speaker of the audio system. In some embodiments, the remote control is configured utilize infrared, infrared laser, radio frequency, wireless, WiFi, Bluetooth®, 2.4 Gh and IAP protocols. In some embodiments, the remote control is hermetically sealed from water and environmental intrusion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a housing unit, which allows an electronic device such as a portable digital audio player to be substantially hermetically sealed within an audio device. The electronic device is controllable by a user while housed with the housing unit. The audio device is able to be used in a vehicle such as a car, a camper, or a boat or in other common consumer products.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems for and methods of securing and mounting objects to structures. An exemplary system of the present invention includes a bracket that has a base for coupling to a surface of a structure and an alignment handle detachably coupled to the base for aligning the structure during installation. The alignment handle is configured to be uncoupled from the base after installation. Preferably, a surface of the alignment handle and a surface of the base form an obtuse angle. The alignment handle has a breaking point defined by a taper, a notch, or a perforation. The system also includes a housing that includes a cavity for containing an object, such as an electronic device and a face for mounting to the surface. Preferably, the structure is a sauna or a recreational vehicle, such as a plane, a boat, or a car. The structure also includes an electronic device contained in the cavity.
