Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein that facilitate attaching a mobile station to a target wireless network through a physical connection between the mobile station and a supporting wireless network. Uplink and downlink channels between the mobile station and the target wireless network tunnel through the supporting wireless network. The systems and methods described herein thereby enable a mobile station with a single transceiver to become simultaneously attached to multiple wireless networks. The systems and methods described herein further support the handover of a mobile station from a generic access component of a mobile network to a radio access component and the handover of a mobile station from a radio access component of a mobile network to a generic access component of the mobile network thus facilitating rapid transitions from one mobile network air interface to another.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a remote communication device and at a server system, information that indicates a unique identifier for a physical item that corresponds to media content, the identifier differing from identifiers for other physical items that correspond to the same content; associating the received information with an account of a first user of a hosted internet service; and subsequently providing, by the hosted internet service, content that matches the content that corresponds to the physical item, based on a determination that the received information authorizes the first user to obtain the content provided by the hosted internet service.

Abstract: Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for measuring a parasitic load in an environment. A transmitter may transmit an out of order pulse such that a receiver with synchronous rectification circuitry rejects induced power from the transmitter based on the out of order pulse. The parasitic load is determined by measuring the amount of power induced by the transmitter while the intended receiver rejects the power subtracted by known inherent loss.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for implementations of a home automation network. A first input can be received from a first sensor on a home automation network and a second input can be received from a second sensor on the network. A condition can be determined based on both inputs that could not be determined from either input alone. Based on the determined condition, an action can be performed.

Abstract: A device is provided that analyzes one or more signal metrics to generate a signal measurement. The signal measurement is utilized to indicate whether or not a particular location of the device is suitable for receiving streamed content. A communication module of the device may receive one or more signals from an identified network device. At least one signal metric may be used to generate a signal measurement that may be indicated on an interface component. A recommendation to move the device to a different location may be generated based on the signal measurement. Subsequent to moving the device, a second signal measurement may be determined and indicated on the interface component.
