The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate remotely controlling a wireless lighting module. The wireless lighting module can include a power source such as a battery, a solar cell, and the like as well as an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs can be controlled based upon a received input (e.g., communicated by way of a radio frequency signal, an infrared signal, . . . ). For example, the input can be obtained from a remote control, a sensor, a differing wireless lighting module, an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, and so forth. The input can be utilized to switch one or more LEDs on or off, change the intensity or color of illumination, modulate illumination, alter the direction of illumination, etc.

A glass break sensor can optionally include a sensor unit sized and shaped to fit between panes of a glass, such as in a multi-pane window. The sensor unit can optionally include a sensor, a glass break detector circuit configured to input from the sensor and declare a glass break event when specified criteria are satisfied, and a wake-up circuit configured to detect a wake-up event and wake up the glass break detector circuit when one or more wake up criteria are satisfied. A glass break detector assembly can optionally include a first pane, a second pane and a glass break sensor between the first pane and the second pane.

Wireless power receiving apparatus 150 is retrofitted to a portable electrical device 100 to enable the device to receive power wirelessly. The apparatus comprises a power-receiving element 200 adapted to be attached to the device, e.g. by adhesive 201, and also being adapted to receive power wirelessly from a transmitter of power when the element and transmitter are in proximity with one another. One or more power connectors 203 are connected electrically to the power-receiving element and are adapted to be connected, when the apparatus is in use, to one or more corresponding power connectors 101 of the portable electrical device to deliver power received by the element to the device. The power-receiving element may be in the form of a sticker or may be carried by or incorporated in a replacement cover portion for the portable electrical device.

Systems and methods for generating haptic effects associated with envelopes in audio signals are disclosed. One disclosed system for outputting haptic effects includes a processor configured to: receive an audio signal; determine an envelope associated with the audio signal; determine a haptic effect based in part on the envelope; and output a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect.

A system for generation of electrical power including an inverter connected to a photovoltaic source including a theft prevention and detection feature. A first memory is permanently attached to the photovoltaic source. The first memory is configured to store a first code. A second memory is attached to the inverter. The second memory configured to store a second code. During manufacture or installation of the system, the first code is stored in the first memory attached to the photovoltaic source. The second code based on the first code is stored in the second memory. Prior to operation of the inverter, the first code is compared to the second code and based on the comparison; the generation of the electrical power is enabled or disabled.

A method of identifying a specific key amongst a bundle of keys requires a plurality of keyhole tags and a plurality of key sleeves. Each of the keyhole tags includes a wireless transmitter. Each of the key sleeves includes a wireless receiver and at least one notification device that is associated to a corresponding tag. The method begins by broadcasting an identification signal with the wireless transmitter for each of the plurality of keyhole tags. The method then positions the plurality of key sleeves adjacent to a desired tag from the plurality of keyhole tags. The method then receives the identification signal for the desired tag with the wireless receiver for each of the plurality of key sleeves. Finally, the method actuates the notification device of a specific sleeve from the plurality of key sleeves, if the corresponding tag for the specific sleeve is the desired tag.

An electronic messaging device includes a receiver configured to receive a message at one of a first operational frequency and second operational frequency. The messaging device can added to a message distribution group comprising a plurality of existing messaging devices. A test communication can be sent through a coupling to test an operation of the messaging device and confirming the addition of the messaging device to the message distribution group without communicating with the existing messaging devices.

The present invention is directed to a system for displaying, organizing, and prioritizing the incoming information on a wireless device. Using the present invention the wireless device can display the number of voice mails, e-mails, pages, and Internet information alerts that have been received by the wireless device during a specified time period. The invention also allows the incoming information to be separated by any number of user-specified criteria such as the originating sender, or divided by work related and personal messages. The present invention allows the wireless device user to see at a glance what kind of information has been received and is being stored on the wireless device.

A drive apparatus includes a memory to store waveform data representing a sinusoidal drive signal satisfying a frequency f1=(m/n)q(t) (m and n: natural numbers, mn), to vibrate a vibration-generating device m times, where q(t) is a time characteristic of a resonance frequency of the vibration-generating device, or ((m/2)r) times (r: natural number0, m and n: positive odd, mn), the vibration-generating device having the resonance frequency varying depending on an acceleration amplitude in a range between first and second resonance frequencies including the rated value f0; and a drive-processor to output the drive signal to the vibration-generating device. The q(t) is obtained when driving the vibration-generating device by a sinusoidal drive signal satisfying f1=(m/n)f2, to vibrate the vibration-generating device m times if mn, or ((m/2)r) times.
