Abstract: A receiver/transmitter for a consumer product having unique operational features, comprising: a microprocessor programmed to a numerical identifier associated with the consumer product; a housing for housing the microprocessor, the housing being separable from the consumer product; a data transferring component coupled to the microprocessor and configured for communicating with the consumer product; a receiver circuit disposed within the housing; a transmitter circuit disposed within the housing; wherein the microprocessor comprises programmable logic that enables a plurality of signals corresponding to the numerical identifier to be received and transmitted between the consumer product and the receiver/transmitter, wherein the consumer product comprises electrical components necessary to facilitate the receipt and transmission of the plurality of signals, wherein linear dimensions and configurations of the consumer product are not constrained by the microprocessor, the data transferring component, the receiv

Abstract: A portable entertainment device including a right bay, a center bay and a left bay. The right and left bays are used to house the electrical speakers used in the portable entertainment device and the center bay is used to house both permanently mounted electronics and electronic modules which can be shared between the portable entertainment device and an automotive vehicle. Modules such as satellite receivers, DVD players, MP3 players and the like can comprise the portable modules. The right bay, center bay and left bay are integrated by way of a tubular structure wherein tubular structure forms inner chambers which are used to accommodate batteries, electrical power cords, and can also function as the pressure equalization port for a woofer style speaker housed in one of the bays.
