US Patent:

7941141, May 10, 2011

Filed:

Jan 24, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/626686

Inventors:

Eugene L. Shoykhet - Olathe KS, US
Jason D. Bridges - Lenexa KS, US

Assignee:

Garmin Switzerland GmbH

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455434, 4555501, 4555561

Abstract:

A portable electronic device includes a radio frequency receiver; a radio frequency transmitter; and a processing system coupled with the receiver and transmitter. The processing system directs the receiver to scan a radio frequency spectrum for available radio channels over which the transmitter may transmit. The processing system may further direct the receiver to perform a second scan for radio channels which are actively transmitting information. The processing system then selects an available radio channel as the radio channel best suited for use by the transmitter to transmit information to the external audio system. The processing system may select a transmission frequency which is spectrally distant from the active radio channels and/or may take into account a transmission profile of the transmitter to select a frequency that does not interfere with the reception of incoming radio signals.

Appl. No.:

13/476798

Inventors:

Robert M. Kalis - Overland Park KS, US
Jason D. Bridges - Lenexa KS, US
David F. Lammers-Meis - Olathe KS, US

Assignee:

Garmin Switzerland GmbH

International Classification:

H01M 2/02

US Classification:

429100

Abstract:

A battery cover for an electronic device including a battery receptacle. The battery cover generally comprises a base and a cover mating element. The base is operable to couple with a portion of the electronic device and at least partially cover the battery receptacle. The cover mating element is operable to couple with the base and interchangeably mate with a reciprocal mating element associated with a mount to couple the electronic device to the mount.

International Classification:

G02F 1/13357
H05B 41/36

US Classification:

315189, 349 69

Abstract:

Techniques are described to enhance a backlight design for electronic devices. A circuit is described to provide backlight for a display of an electronic device. In an implementation, the circuit includes a collection of light elements arranged electrically in a series and includes one said light element of the series which is operable both with the collection and independently of the collection. In another implementation, the one said light element is arranged to be in a last position of the series electrically and physically is arranged to correspond to a center portion of the display of the electronic device.

International Classification:

G01R 21/133
G01R 21/06

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a light emitting diode (LED) meter board for a transfer switch configured to indicate the power currently being output by the transfer switch to any engaged circuits. In one particular embodiment, the LED meter board indicates a percentage of available power provided to the circuits by a generator or other alternative power source. As more power is output to the circuits, the LED meter board drives the activation of one or more LEDs. Further, the LEDs of the meter board may indicate the power currently being output by the transfer switch to any engaged circuits by blinking at various rates. The blinking rate of the LEDs may increase until one or more of the LEDs may remain solidly lit, or otherwise activated, indicating the percentage of power provided by the generator has reached a particular threshold value.

International Classification:

G05F 1/66
G05B 15/02

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, devices, methods, and the like, for a transfer switch of a power system incorporating a self-powered electronic meter that provides a learn function to determine the maximum amount of power an attached generator can provide, and adjust a power meter display associated with the switch accordingly so that the indicator of the display may be used for any size generator and display the full range of the generator. The learning function is activated and a user turn on devices and loads in the load center until the generator stalls. A microcontroller records the max generator power that was measured before the generator stalled and save it to non-volatile memory as the new 100% setting for that particular generator connected to the transfer switch.
