International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320106

Abstract:

A battery type detection approach is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of detecting a battery type can include: receiving a signal from a battery module in a portable computing device; determining if the signal is in a first state for at least a first predetermined time before transitioning to a second state; determining if the signal transitions from the second state to the first state after a second predetermined time, and identifying the battery type in response thereto; and asserting an indication of the battery type when a third predetermined time period after the transition from the second state to the first state has occurred.

Robert A. Kelley - Moreno Valley CA, US

International Classification:

E06B 3/12

US Classification:

160236, 160232, 5278405

Abstract:

An improved sandwiched garage door panel. The first improvement is that the rear covering skin is made of 25 point embossed wood grain polyboard which is much less expensive than steel so that the cost of manufacture of the panel is significantly reduced. The second improvement is the creation of a channel within the central foam core of the panel with at least one and preferably two steel plates retained within the channel. As a result, a mounting plate of the hinge assembly which interconnects two adjacent panels can be affixed to the steel plate and thereafter the rear covering plate is affixed to the foam core to thereby conceal the mounting plate resulting in a more attractive garage door panel.

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

712 38, 710 63

Abstract:

A subprocessor is used to interface between subsystems and to reduce the amount of dedicated hardware used to implement the subsystems in a hand-held computer. The subprocessor includes basic processing system resources such as random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), a processor, input/output (I/O) facilities, etc. Selected functions in subsystems are achieved by firmware instructions executed by the subprocessor as opposed to a main processor that is also used in the computer. This approach can provide efficiencies such as low power consumption, less required space, less routing overhead, easier transfer of inter-subsystem information, and other advantages.

US Classification:

710304, 710 16, 710303

Abstract:

A single line docking station characteristic identifier is disclosed. In one embodiment, a portable computing device can include a dock detector circuit having an interface pin configured to be coupled to a docking station via a single line dock connection, where the dock detector circuit is configured to determine a characteristic of the docking station using a passive component in the docking station when the portable computing device is connected to the docking station via the single line dock connection. The dock detector circuit can include a resistor and a Schmitt trigger, while the passive component in the docking station can include a capacitor, for example.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345156, 709248, 713375

Abstract:

A computing device that includes a host processor and a service processor is provided. The host processor is configured to interact with a first user interface. For example, the host processor may be a microprocessor for the device and the first user interface may be a display device. A service processor is provided and can interact with a second user interface. In some cases, the service processor may interact with the second user interface without communicating with the host processor. Accordingly, the service processor can perform functions without relying on the host processor. Using the service processor conserves processing power and also may allow the reduction in size of the device as the service processor may perform the functions previously performed by discrete hardware and the host processor.

Appl. No.:

10/377209

Inventors:

Robert Kelley - Anaheim CA, US

International Classification:

E06B009/00

US Classification:

160/229100

Abstract:

This invention pertains to a multi-panel or sectional door having a specially designed edge profile that coordinates between the panels in such a way as to prevent any items from being pinched between the door sections while the panels are moving. The door additionally contains exterior trim pieces that are designed to open and close cooperatively with the door sections, and avoid any gaps forming during operation. Finally, the door may contain optional side shields to the trim pieces, said shields designed to avoid side gaps between the trim and the door during operation.
