Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for allowing communication between two or more computing devices are described herein. For example, a method includes receiving, by a first computing device configured to operate in accordance with a first wireless protocol, one or more data packets via one or more signals output by a second computing device according to a second wireless protocol, where the first computing device is not configured to operate in accordance with the second wireless protocol. Additionally, or alternatively, a method includes receiving, by a first computing device configured to operate in accordance with a first wireless protocol, at least one signal including a data packet, wherein a payload of the data packet comprises an indication of a symbol defined in accordance with a second wireless protocol.

Abstract: A method includes emitting a sound by a first device. The method also includes receiving a recorded sound at the first device, where the recorded sound includes a recording of the emitted sound by a second device. The method further includes determining an intermediate frequency (IF) signal based on the emitted sound and the recorded sound. The method also includes determining a distance between the first device and the second device based on a frequency of the IF signal and one or more characteristics of the emitted sound. In addition, the method includes presenting the determined distance.

Abstract: In general, a system is described that includes two computing devices, a first which is configured to operate using a first wireless protocol and a second which is configured to operate using a second wireless protocol different than the first wireless protocol. The first computing device may determine a symbol to be sent to the second computing device. For each bit included in a payload of a data packet, the first computing device may set a value of the respective bit such that the symbol, when the data packet is translated into at least one signal using the first wireless protocol, is readable using the second wireless protocol. The first computing device generates the signal using the first wireless protocol, and outputs, via the first wireless protocol, the at least one signal. The second computing device may receive the at least one signal and demodulate the payload.

Abstract: In a drive control device, a controller automatically stops an engine if an execution condition of an idling stop is satisfied, and an electric oil pump is driven during an automatic stop of the engine. A first friction engaging element establishes a starting gear position and a second friction engaging element is released when a vehicle starts. A second solenoid drains oil to be supplied to the second friction engaging element according to an indicator current. A drain degree becomes smaller by reducing the indicator current. The controller reduces the indicator current below a minimum value during the automatic stop of the engine.
