Abstract:
A concentrator connects multiple downstream devices to an upstream host using the same device address. The concentrator combines together configuration information obtained from the multiple downstream devices. The combined information appears to the host as coming from the same device. Multiple peripheral controllers may be configured to respond to different endpoints or alternate interfaces associated with the same device address. In one implementation, the downstream devices, the concentrator, and the upstream host all communicate using Universal Serial Bus (USB) connections.
Abstract:
A method for altering timing between transmissions of an input device comprising the steps of (A) receiving a plurality of inputs from the input device, (B) altering the timing between the inputs and (C) presenting the altered inputs in a potentially insecure environment.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a flexible converter suitable for providing a routing function. A flexible converter of the present invention may provide a desired output utilizing a variety of methods, systems and apparatus without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. A routing apparatus may include a converter, at least one comparator and a controller. The converter is capable of providing an output supply from an input supply coupled to the converter, the output supply capable of routing between a first output and a second output. At least one comparator is coupled to the output supply of the converter, the comparator capable of measuring at least one power characteristic of the first output and the second output to a first electrical device and to a second electrical device. The controller is coupled to the comparator; the controller being capable of implementing a process within the converter such that the first output is routed to the first electrical device and the second output is routed to the second electrical device. The first output and the second output are monitored with the at least one comparator and the first output to the first electrical device and the second output to the second electrical device are re-routed based upon the monitoring by the comparator.
Abstract:
A method for lowering power consumption of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device, comprising the steps of (A) detecting a frame comprising one or more indicators from an input data stream and (B) waking the USB device or continually operating in a suspend/sleep mode, in response to the one or more indicators.
