Abstract: A portable power inverter having a pass through device to facilitate connection and operation of both A.C. and D.C. power consuming devices to a single outlet of a single D.C. power source. Inverter circuitry is electrically coupled to the external D.C. power source for inverting D.C. voltage to an A.C. voltage source. A.C. electrical outlets are provided to facilitate a connection to an external A.C. power-consuming device. The pass through device provides an independent and simultaneous connection to an additional D.C. outlet to allow connection an external D.C. power-consuming device. The pass through device allows connection of D.C. consuming devices that would otherwise be connected directly to the external D.C. power source while the inverter is so connected thus allowing connection and operation of both A.C. and D.C power consuming devices through a single external D.C. power outlet of a single D.C. power source.

Abstract: A wireless computer game controller with integrated audio system that sends and receives audio signal via integrated circuitry provided in the controller. The wireless interface (transmitter/receiver) establishes a communication link to facilitate the transmission of both command signals and audio/video signals between the controller and computer device to thereby provide two-way interaction with the stand-alone computer device within a single accessory device. The controller circuitry also incorporates a speaker or headphone jack to deliver audio stimulation. In the preferred embodiment, the controller sends an audio signal to an ear piece where the ear piece includes a separate microphone to transmit audio to a separate receiver or a third party.

Abstract: A light source is provided to illuminate a cable connecting a video game controller to a game console. A low power consuming LED in light communication with a side glowing fiber optic cable may be employed and integrated into the communication bundle extending between the controller and console. Alternately LED lights may be disposed at discrete points along the cable. A shield may also be disposed between the light cable and communication bundle to inhibit interference. The entire bundle is preferably wrapped in a clear or translucent material to allow light to emanate from the cable.
