A wireless microphone and/or in-ear monitoring system having at least one first mobile device for wirelessly transmitting first audio signals. The system also has at least one base station for wirelessly receiving the first audio signals transmitted by the mobile device. The wireless transmission is based on an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing transmission (OFDM) during a time-division multiple access (TDMA) time slot. Each wireless microphone occupies at least one slot within 2 ms. Each of the TDMA frames has a plurality of slots which respectively have precisely one OFDM symbol. Accordingly, precisely one OFDM symbol is transmitted in each TDMA slot. During a time slot made available in accordance with the TDMA, a transmission is effected on the basis of an OFDM method. The TDMA frame length is so short as a latency of <4 ms is required for professional audio transmission, for example in the case of wireless microphone systems.

A method and apparatus for transmitting broadcast signals are discussed. The method can include generating an input stream having plural input packets, link processing the input packets in the input stream to generate link layer packets, physical processing the link layer packets into the broadcast signals, and transmitting the broadcast signals. The link processing can include generating a payload of a link layer packet by encapsulating either a segment of one input packet or concatenated input packets, generating a header of the link layer packet including a base part, the base part including a first field which indicates whether the payload includes either the segment or the concatenated input packets, and inserting the header in front of the payload.

In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for scaling network capacity predictively, based on customer interest. For instance, in one example, a method includes predicting an interest of a first customer in data content that will be available for consumption over a data network at a time in the future, wherein the predicting is based on customer data including at least a search pattern associated with the first customer, flagging the data content when the predicting indicates at least a threshold degree of likelihood that the first customer will be interested in the data content, and scaling an allocation of resources of the data network to the first customer, based on the flagging.

Methods, systems, and devices for combining an over-the-air broadcast signal with another digital media signal are described. Broadcast signals may be received at a user's location, demodulated, and then remodulated using the modulation scheme of a non-broadcast signal. The remodulated broadcast signal may then be combined with the non-broadcast signal, and the combined signal may be transmitted to a user's video equipment. In some cases, a channel guide interface may be provided that includes both the broadcast and non-broadcast media channels.

A load control system for controlling the amount of power delivered from an AC power source to a plurality of electrical load includes a plurality of independent units responsive to a broadcast controller. Each independent unit includes at least one commander and at least one energy controller for controlling at least one of the electrical loads in response to a control signal received from the commander. The independent units are configured and operate independent of each other. The broadcast controller transmits wireless signals to the energy controllers of the independent units. The energy controllers do not respond to control signals received from the commanders of other independent units, but the energy controllers of both independent units respond to the wireless signals transmitted by broadcast controller. The energy controller may operate in different operating modes in response to the wireless signals transmitted by the broadcast controller.

Methods and apparatus to calibrate media ratings based on return path data are disclosed. An apparatus includes a ratings calculator to calculate an initial local rating for media provided in a first geographic area based on local return path data (RPD) tuning information obtained from local RPD devices in subscriber households in the first geographic area. The subscriber households subscribe to a content provider that provides the media through the local RPD devices. The apparatus further includes a calibration factor calculator to calculate a nonsubscriber calibration factor based on a first panelist rating for the media corresponding to a first subset of panelist households that do not subscribe to the content provider. The ratings calculator modifies the initial local rating based on the nonsubscriber calibration factor to calculate a final local rating for the media in the first geographic area.

Appropriate control is performed when communication is performed between a plurality of information processing devices. An information processing device performs real-time image transmission with another information processing device according to a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast specification. The information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit performs control such that setting request information for performing a setting related to the real-time image transmission is received from the other information processing device via an access point. The control unit performs control such that a setting request for performing the setting based on the setting request information is transmitted to the other information processing device through direct communication.

A multiple recording device management system including an intermediate multiple recording device managing apparatus, a vehicle recording device mounted in a police vehicle and synced to the managing apparatus, and a personal recording device carried by a police officer and wirelessly synced to the managing apparatus. The managing apparatus is operable to detect when the vehicle recording device, personal recording device, or any other synced device in range has begun recording and to transmit a communication signal to any synced recording device in range indicating that the recording device should begin recording and to further transmit a time stamp to synced recording devices for corroborating recorded data.
