Abstract:
A hand-held device with a sensor for providing a signal indicative of a position of the hand-held device relative to an object surface enables power to the sensor at a first time interval when the hand-held device is indicated to be in a position that is stationary and adjacent relative to the object surface, enables power to the sensor at a second time interval shorter than the first time interval when the hand-held device is indicated to be in a position that is moving and adjacent relative to the object surface, and enables power to the sensor at a third time interval when the hand-held device is determined to be in a position that is removed relative to the object surface.
Abstract:
A control device is provided. The control device includes a first communication interface unit which transmits a control command in a first communication mode which uses a bi-directional wireless communication, a second communication interface unit which transmits a control command in a second communication mode which uses a unidirectional wireless communication, a state determination unit which determines a communication mode of the control device, a user interface unit which displays a user interface window which corresponds to a determined communication mode and receives the control command with respect to a broadcast receiver and a control unit which transmits the received control command according to the determined communication mode.

Abstract:
A portable device for controlling a vehicle remote keyless entry (RKE) system and a garage door opener (GDO), the device including a controller and a multi-frequency transmitter. The controller generates a function code in response to an operator demand signal and selects between a first and second transmission frequency. The operator demand signal is at least one of a RKE demand signal and a GDO demand signal. The first frequency is selected when the function code is generated in response to a RKE demand signal and the second frequency is selected when the function code is generated in response to a GDO demand signal. The multi-frequency transmitter is electrically coupled to the controller and an antenna. The multi-frequency transmitter transmits the generated function code to at least one of a vehicle remote keyless entry system and a garage door opener at the selected frequency.
Abstract:
A detachable remote controller for an electronic entertainment device and a method for using the same are provided. The detachable remote controller includes a first infrared transmitter and a second infrared transmitter. The first infrared transmitter transmits signals to the electronic device while the detachable remote controller is coupled with the entertainment device. The remote controller is shaped in such a way to be docked within a cavity and flush with one surface of the entertainment device. The first infrared transmitter is aligned in the cavity such that the first infrared transmitter transmits signals to a light pipe embedded within the entertainment device. The second infrared transmitter is located at one end of the detachable remote controller to transmit signals to the entertainment device while the detachable remote controller is not coupled with the entertainment device.
Abstract:
A method and associated apparatus for transmitting data (2) between a mobile radio transmitter (1) and a radio receiver (3) of a machine or plant (4). With this method, a first radio link (6) is provided between an operating device and a machine/plant for transmitting safety related information and a second radio link (7) is provided for transmitting non-safety related information.
Abstract:
The invention realises a remote controlling device of an operative machine which comprises a transmitter arranged on the ground at the disposal of an operator and a receiver arranged inboard, supplied with an accomplishment circuit connected with the drives of such machine. The transmitter comprises a first section which transmits luminous infrared waves and a second section which transmits electromagnetic waves which cooperate with the receiver comprising a first section receiving the luminous infrared waves and a second section receiving the electromagnetic waves. In the receiver electronic means are present, suitable for realising a permission signal which activates the accomplishment circuit only if the first receiving section receives the luminous infrared waves emitted by the first transmitting section.

Abstract:
A medical diagnostics installation has an examination station at which a patient and medical examination equipment are disposed, and a control console disposed remotely therefrom. At least two different wireless control signal transmission channels are provided, each sending control signals to the examination station simultaneously by means of different types of information-carrying signals, such as an ultrasound signal and an infrared signal. Since the different types of information-carrying signals are affected by respectively different types of disturbances in the transmission path, the risk of an incoming control signal being misinterpreted due to the presence of a degraded signal is minimized.
