Abstract: A system and a method for outputting sound where one or more first sound outputting units are identified and other, second, sound outputting units define a sound delay in accordance with the relative positions between each sound outputting unit and the first sound outputting unit(s). Microphones may be added to e.g. determine the amount and positions of persons. The system may also use Intelligent cameras to determine number of people their position the room face direction and age distribution in order optimize audio level and equalisation of the frequency response—like in a church with many elder people or in a young audience at a live concert.

Abstract: A system for verifying a communication device, the system comprising at least a one communication device comprising a transmitter for performing communication, and a storage for holding first information, the first information comprising ID information of the communication device, at least a one security communication device comprising a transmitter for performing communication, and a storage for holding second information, the second information comprising ID information of the security communication device, a verification element, and a communication element for receiving the ID information from one or more of the communication devices and one or more of the security communication devices, transmitting the received ID information to the verification element, wherein the verification element is adapted to verify each of the one or more communication devices only if the received ID information of the pertaining communication device can be verified and the received ID information of at least one of the one or

Abstract: A card for presenting visual information while being waved. The card is flexible and has a sensor detecting or quantifying the bending of the card. The card has, preferably at an edge thereof, light emitters for presenting the information. A controller determines the position of the edge and forwards information so that a user watching the edge sees an emulated 2D information provider.

Abstract: A portable card, such as a credit card, having therein electronics, such as a processor, and a deformable switching element or sensor, where the deformation or bending of the sensor/switch is determined and used for controlling the electronics. In one aspect, bending of a piezo element provides power for bringing a processor out of a sleep mode.

Abstract: A transaction card comprising a processor connected to at least one coil, the processor being adapted to: receive a signal output by the coil caused by a magnetic field acting on the coil; derive, from the signal, information relating to the card; store the information; and subsequently transmit, to the surroundings, the information by transmitting a corresponding signal to the coil. The transaction card may be adapted to remember the positions at which the information was store to the card, and to output the information at the same positions when information is read from the card. A method for storing and transmitting information to the transaction card.

Abstract: An RFID-type system is described in which a portable card receives a signal from a transceiver and outputs a phase modulated or amplitude modulated signal from which the transceiver derives information transmitted from the card. Alternatively, the card may have a coil with a self inductance of 3 mH or more which, by altering the characteristics of the coil or a circuit connected thereto (loading the coil) facilitates a loading of the signal from the transceiver, which load change may be used for extracting the additional information.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for use in a microcontroller based system for detecting an active reset followed by the release of the reset line, and upon the release of the reset line, rapidly driving the reset line of the system to the inactive state to prevent the microcontroller from falsely interpreting the reset line voltage level as being a non-microcontroller initiated reset. The reset line is then released, after a short time delay so as to not interfere with any succeeding reset signal.
