摘要： A package-on-package (POP) secure module includes a first ball grid array (BGA) package, and a second BGA package. The first BGA includes an array of bond balls that is disposed on a side of a substrate member, and an array of lands that is disposed on the opposite side of the substrate member. Bond balls of the second BGA are fixed to the lands of the first BGA such that the second BGA is piggy-back mounted to the first BGA. Embedded in the substrate member of the second BGA is an anti-tamper security mesh. An integrated circuit in the first BGA is coupled to, drives and monitors the security mesh. When the module is disposed on a printed circuit board within a point of sale (POS) terminal, the integrated circuit is coupled to, also drives and monitors a second security mesh embedded in the printed circuit board underneath the module.

摘要： A system involves a plurality of RF-enabled occupancy detectors. Each occupancy detector communicates with and controls an associated plurality of RF-enabled fluorescent lamp starter units. A network master has an RF transceiver used to communicate with the occupancy detectors using a first protocol, thereby retrieving status information from the starter units. The network master also has a second RF transceiver for communicating directly with a cellular telephone using a second protocol. A user can use the cellular telephone to control and interact with the lighting system through the network master, and/or to retrieve status information from the network master. The network master automatically generates and sends email alerts to the user by sending the alerts to an email server. The email server forwards the emails to the cellular telephone via a cellular telephone network. Alerts may, for example, indicate a low battery voltage condition or that a lamp needs replacement.

摘要： A home entertainment device eliminates the need to use multiple remotes. The device is connected (by wired and/or wireless links) to electronic consumer devices (ECDs) to be controlled. A user uses a portable display device to view pages served by the device, and thereby to communicate with the device and indirectly control the ECDs. In a first aspect, a HDMI-CEC communication is used to identify a codeset from a codeset database. In a second aspect, the codeset of a remote is identified by serving pictures of remotes to the user. The user selects a picture and the system looks up its codeset. In a third aspect, keys on an illustration of a remote are dragged and dropped to create a new custom remote. In a fourth aspect, the user supplies a digital photograph of a remote. The system performs optical recognition and identifies the type of remote and its codeset.

摘要： An electronic device receives data from an EEPROM by sending address information to it on one set of leads and receiving data back from it through a different set of multiplexed address/data leads. The electronic device also sends and receives data to and from a data path controller by sending address information and sending or receiving data information to or from it through the set of multiplexed address/data leads. Selection of which device, the EEPROM or the data path controller, to communicate with is made by the electronic device setting appropriate values for chip select and chip enable commands. Synchronization of the sending and receiving of the address and data information is accomplished by the use of address and data strobe signals generated by the electronic device and connected, as appropriate, with the EEPROM and data path controller.

摘要： A native application includes codeset information. The native application, if loaded into a cellular telephone, allows the cellular telephone and a novel associated Operational Signal Generating Device (OSGD) to be usable as a remote control device. An on-line media store provides the native application for purchase and download. A user uses the cellular telephone to download the native application into the cellular telephone. The codeset information is transferred into the OSGD. The OSGD has a mechanism for using codeset information to generate IR operational signals of the type used to control electronic consumer devices. Execution of the native application causes a keypad to appear on the cellular telephone display. If the user presses a key of the keypad, the cellular telephone detects the key press and sends a communication to the OSGD which causes the OSGD to use the codeset information to generate and transmit an appropriate IR operational signal.

摘要： A low-power wireless network involves a master and a plurality of RF-enabled fluorescent lamp starter units. In each of a plurality of intervals, a starter wakes up and listens for a beacon, regardless of whether a beacon is transmitted during that interval or not. The starter operates in a low power sleep mode during the majority of the interval. The master can transmit during the beacon slot time of any interval, but typically only transmits frequently enough to maintain starter synchronization. If the master wishes to communicate with the starters with reduced latency, then the master can transmit a beacon in the next interval. Beacon slot time is varied within the interval (for example, from interval to interval or from group of intervals to group of intervals) in a pseudo-random time-hopping fashion known to both the starters and the master, thereby reducing persistence of collisions with similar networks.
