  • Patent number: 7359183
    Abstract: A two-in-one wireless control kit is adapted to plug in a PCMCIA slot on a portable apparatus for storing and moving along with the portable apparatus and use at any time, and includes a transmitter and a receiver removably associated with each other to form one unit. The transmitter is provided at an upper side with related keys and at a lower side with at least a battery compartment for accommodating required batteries and a locating recess for receiving the receiver therein. The receiver includes a front connecting end for connecting to a related connecting port on the portable apparatus, and locating structures located at predetermined positions to removably engage the receiver with the locating recess below the transmitter, such that the associated transmitter and receiver can be plugged in the PCMCIA slot without projecting any part from the slot.

  • Publication number: 20060068775
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting wireless local area network (WLAN) signals scans an area for radio-wave signals that meet IEEE802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards, and converts any detected radio-wave signal into a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data, which is stored, recorded, and compared by a control unit with WLAN properties to determine whether there is a WLAN set up in the scanned area, or bearings and strength of any detected WLAN signal, making the detection highly discriminating and sensitive.
