Abstract:
Receivers, apparatuses, and methods associated with packet classification based power saving receiver are described. In one embodiment, an 802.11 receiver includes receive and control units. The receive unit has a higher power receive frame state and a lower power ignore frame state. The receive unit, when in the receive frame state, receives radio frequency (RF) signals associated with an incoming frame and provides decoded information concerning the incoming frame. The receive unit, when in the ignore frame state, does not receive RF signals associated with the incoming frame and/or does not decode RF signals associated with the incoming frame. The control unit controls the receive unit to enter the ignore frame state upon determining that the incoming frame is to be filtered and to return to the receive frame state in time to receive a subsequent incoming frame and perform end of frame processing consistent with the CSMA/CA protocol.
Abstract:
A remote control with a solar-powered battery, a remote body includes the control panel. The control panel has a plurality of buttons. The solar-powered battery module is disposed in the remote and comprises the solar panel, the control unit and the storage unit. The solar panel is a rigid or flexible solar panel and is used for receiving light energy. The wireless control module disposed in the remote comprises the transmitting unit, the sensing unit and the activating unit. Therefore, the solar-powered battery module converts and stores the light energy and provides power to the wireless control module, thereby providing energy savings and environmental conservation benefits.

Abstract:
A remote controller adapted to interact with a system under control (SUC) is described. The remote controller includes: at least one input adapted to receive data from a user; a command interpreter adapted to evaluate data received via the at least one input and determine whether the received data is associated with a remote command from among a set of remote commands associated with the SUC; at least one communication element adapted to send remote commands to the SUC; and at least one haptic feedback element adapted to provide feedback to the user. A mobile device application adapted to remotely control an external system includes sets of instructions for: receiving an input via a user interface element of the mobile device; generating a command output based at least partly on the received input; and sending the control output to the external system.
Abstract:
A test device for testing functions of buttons of a remote control includes a storage unit, a pressing apparatus, and a processing unit. Identification (ID) information of each of the buttons and a predetermined code corresponding to each of the buttons are stored in the storage unit. When a control signal is received from the remote control after a button is pressed, the control signal is decoded to obtain a code of the control signal and the ID information of the button, which is being pressed. The code of the control signal is compared with the predetermined code stored in the storage unit corresponding to the pressed button to determine whether the pressed button is malfunctional.

The facility may comprise an energy gateway device coupled to one or more monitored devices, one or more energy data extraction servers, and one or more client computers. The energy gateway devices and energy data extraction servers are coupled to a network and are configured to collect energy consumption and/or energy production data from one or more devices and provide an indication of the collected data in real-time or near real-time. The facility may collect current energy consumption or production rates, predicted energy consumption or production levels over a future period of time, and/or amounts of energy that has been consumed or produced by the device over a previous period of time.
