Publication number: 20190207430Abstract: Various embodiments use prospective synchronization signals early in the signal reception to adjust framing cycles of communication nodes to reduce jitter. Some embodiments temporarily suspend messaging between existing nodes of a communication system while instructing new nodes to generate a beacon according to a beacon schedule. The system can monitor for responses from the new node and calculate a timing error. This timing error can be sent to the new node to adjust cycle framing. In some embodiments, these techniques for timing the receive (Rx) and transmission (Tx) cycles of a node (e.g., a client wireless antenna system) can be utilized such that the radio frequency (RF) energy received between RF energy cycles can be delivered directly to the node, stored in a client's battery by a wireless charging system, enhance the Rx signal opportunities, or make the integrity of the delivered Tx signal more efficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2019Publication date: July 4, 2019Applicant: Ossia Inc.Inventors: Scott Elliott, Hatem Ibrahim Zeine

Publication number: 20190127149Abstract: A mesh-like conveyor belt is capable of varying in width and shape as it travels. The conveyor belt comprises a plurality of links, joints, and control elements. The joints connect the links to each other and allow the links to change their orientation within the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. The plurality of links and joints allow the conveyor belt to vary in width, shape, trajectory, and surface speed while in motion. The conveyor belt also includes control elements, built into the structure of the belt that are capable of engaging with external guides. When the conveyor belt is in motion, the control elements engage with and follow the paths determined by external guides thereby controlling the shape of the belt.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Applicant: Rabbit Designs LLCInventors: Scott Elliott Frash, Jean Shannon Frash

Patent number: 8834273Abstract: Multiple video game players access an encrypted video game library stored on a shared mass storage device. A multiplexer multiplexes data read from the mass storage device to provide output streams to multiple video game playing units consuming video game instructions. A secure bus communicates video game instructions from the shared mass storage device to each of the video game playing units. Video game software or other entertainment content is distributed to the shared mass storage device via electronic download in multi-level encrypted form. Before being transported, the content is encrypted and then further encrypted. Once the content has been successfully transported, it is decrypted to remove the further encryption layer—leaving the first encryption layer intact for protecting the video game during storage on mass storage at the remote distribution location.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jim A.

Patent number: 8747226Abstract: A car area network is disposed in a car to enable communications between various devices in the car. An existing consumer electronics device (CED) coupled to the car area network (CAN) performs an existing consumer electronics device function. That existing (CED) is adapted to control various devices coupled to the CAN including video gaming devices. In one example, the adapted CED cooperates with a game server to effect game play. In another example, the adapted CED functions as a virtual video game platform to support play of video games. A multifunction controller transmits control information to the adapted CED via the car area network to permit a car occupant to control the adapted CED to permit the occupant to play a video game using the video game display. One or more audio and/or visual devices coupled to the CAN may also be controlled by commands transmitted from the adapted CED or from the multimedia controller over the CAN.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Nintendo of America, Inc.Inventors: David McCarten, Peter Eck, Scott Elliott, Hiroshi Kamada
