Abstract: A portable media content device for providing media content to remote devices external to a home network, the portable media content device may include a processor in communication with a memory configured to maintain media content, and a transceiver. The processor may be configured to recognize a home network provided at a first location, instruct the transceiver to transmit a media request to an in-home media recorder connected to the home network and at the first location, receive, in response to the media request, media content from the media recorder and to store the media content in the memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to touch control devices and surface wrapped control interfaces for vehicles. In one embodiment, a touch control device includes a housing assembly including an outer surface, and a touch sensor mounted to an inner surface of the housing assembly. The touch sensor includes at least one touch zone and is configured to detect contact to the outer surface of the housing assembly associated with the at least one touch zone. The touch control device may also include at least one illumination element to illuminate a portion of the outer surface of the housing assembly associated the at least one touch zone and a controller configured to illuminate at least one illumination element in response to contact with the a touch zone. The touch control device can output a control signal in response to contact with the at least one touch zone.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to loudspeaker systems and configurations. In one embodiment, a loudspeaker includes a housing, a mount coupled to the housing, and a coaxial speaker fixed with the housing, wherein coaxial speaker is fixed with an angular offset from a horizontal plane of the housing. The coaxial speaker may be fixed with an angular offset from a horizontal plane of the housing to project sound to position behind a marine vehicle, such as a desired rider position. The loudspeaker may also include at least one multicolor element and connections to receive audio data and lighting control signals for the multicolor element.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for systems and methods for operating a display actuator to provide user-configurable actions. An example device for a human-machine interface includes a display on a first surface of the device, an input interface adapted to detect one or more of touch input, rotation input, and push input directed to the device, a controller configured to generate control instructions based on input received from the input interface, the control instructions including display instructions for controlling output on the display, and an output interface configured to send at least a subset of the control instructions from the controller to a receiving device, the device being removably coupled to the receiving device.
