Filed:

Dec 1, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/958212

Inventors:

George Wiley - Monrovia CA, US

International Classification:

A63B 63/00

US Classification:

473477

Abstract:

A collapsible goal post includes a lower support extending from a playing field; a upper support having a first end and a second end, and a pivot assembly attaching the first end of the upper support to the lower support; an upper assembly comprising two uprights and a crossbar having two ends. The crossbar is attached to the second end of the support at about the midpoint of the crossbar. One of the two uprights is attached to each end of the crossbar. The upper support is configured to pivot about the pivot point assembly to move the upright assembly from a raised position to a lowered position. The two uprights are substantially perpendicular to the playing field in the raised position, and are substantially parallel to and contacting the playing field in the lowered position while the upper assembly and upper support remain attached to the lower support. In another embodiment, the goal post includes a hydraulic cylinder system coupled to the upper support and the lower support to hinder a rate of pivoting of the goal post about the pivot assembly.

Appl. No.:

11/285389

Inventors:

Behnam Katibian - Irvine CA, US
George A. Wiley - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710 30, 710 62

Abstract:

The present invention provides a digital data interface device message format that describes command and response messages to be exchanged between a digital device having a system controller and a digital data interface device. The digital data interface device includes a message interpreter, content module and a control module. The digital data interface device may include an MDDI link controller. The digital data interface device can be used by a cellular telephone to control a peripheral device, such as a camera, bar code reader, image scanner, audio device or other sensor. The digital data interface device message format includes a transaction identification field, a count field, a command identification field and a status field. Optionally, the message format can include a data field. When an MDDI link is used, a digital data interface device message can be included in an MDDI register access packet.

International Classification:

H04J 1/16

US Classification:

370230, 3702301, 370277, 370544

Abstract:

The present invention provides systems and methods for adaptive digital data transmission rate control. A digital data transmission system for adaptively transferring packets over a transmission link includes a client device having a bandwidth control module and a host device coupled to the client device over the transmission link. The host device includes one or more bandwidth control registers and a packet builder. The bandwidth control module determines a packet speed and/or size for packets transmitted from the host device to the client device over the transmission link. The bandwidth control registers store the requested packet size and/or rate. The packet builder accesses these registers when transmitting packets to determine the requested packet size and/or rate.

11/285400

Inventors:

Behnam Katibian - Irvine CA, US
George Wiley - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710005000

Abstract:

A method for synchronously executing a plurality of commands generated by a first module and executed at a second module, wherein the first and second modules communicate through a communication link, is provided. The method includes generating the commands at the first module, transmitting the commands through the link to the second module, and associating the execution time of the commands with an independent event at the second module. When the independent event is detected, the commands are executed synchronously at the second module. The method can be specifically applied to a baseband processor controlling a camera through a camera interface module, wherein the processor and the camera interface module are connected through an MDDI link. An example of a baseband processor controlling a camera through a Pathfinder camera module interface module is described. Specific built-in mechanisms of the camera module interface that enable flexible implementation of the method are also provided.

Appl. No.:

5/711345

International Classification:

H01C 1050

US Classification:

338200

Abstract:

A potentiometer and switch combination including a rotatable control cap positioned over a potentiometer body to form a housing. The cap is provided with an annular flange which abuts an annular shoulder on the body, either the flange or the shoulder being formed from stiffly flexible, resilient material. The body holds the cap in place by means of a post having a chevron at its upper end which mates with a recess in the cap. The cap is positioned to deform the stiffly flexible, resilient material into frictional sealing relation with its abutting member and thereby seal the interior of the housing. The sealing arrangement also introduces a torque which opposes rotation of the cap. The switch includes a conductive strip held by the body, one portion of the strip forming a first contact and another portion forming a spring detent. A cantilever spring blade which holds a second contact adjacent to and radially inward from the first contact urges the contacts together, while a nonconductive blocking member projects downwardly from the cap to separate the contacts when the switch is off.
