A battery capacity translator () includes an input (), an output (), and a conversion circuit () coupled between the input and the output. The conversion circuit receives stored energy capacity information () corresponding to one or more energy storage cells of a first type at the input, and converts the stored energy capacity information to modeled stored energy capacity information () corresponding to one or more other energy storage cells of a second type. This modeled stored energy capacity information is delivered to the output to emulate the energy storage cells of the second type in legacy systems.

Battery capacity translator and corresponding systems and methods

A battery system includes a battery, a monitoring circuit, a wireless communication device and a remote wireless communication unit, and a deployable drone parachute. The monitoring circuit includes a processing unit and non-volatile memory that stores a unique identification of the battery. The wireless communication device is disposed on the battery and is in data communication with sensor circuits. The wireless communication device transmits real time operational parameter data sensed by the sensor circuits. The remote wireless communication unit is in wireless data communication with the wireless communication device and receives the operational parameter data therefrom.

A system and method for determining the characteristics of a device coupled to a client device are disclosed. A method, according to one embodiment, includes driving a display device with a first video output signal formatted according to a first video interface specification; responsive to driving the display device, soliciting user input based on information included in the first video output signal; determining a characteristic of the display device based on the user input; and driving the display device according to the determined characteristic.

Determining device that performs processing of output pictures

An embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for adaptive video decoding. A method for adaptive video decoding includes determining whether a resource constrained mode is to be initiated, and responsive to a determination that the resource constrained mode is to be initiated, initiating the resource constrained mode, including foregoing the decoding of portions of received video input. For example, adaptive video decoding may include foregoing the decompression and reconstruction of selected video frames during intervals of high demand for memory and/or bus bandwidth resources.

Systems and methods for resource-adaptive processing of scaled video and graphics

A method annotates information of video streams to enable their subsequent trick mode presentation. Annotations are performed while simultaneously storing the one or more video programs and further in concert while decoding and displaying the one or more video programs.

Annotations for trick modes of video streams with simultaneous processing and display

A method for implementing trick mode functionality includes storing a video stream and information related to the video stream in memory, receiving a request for a trick mode operation, decoding a plurality of undecoded dependent frames to create a decoded frame, and outputting the decoded frame.

Decoding and output of frames for video trick modes

An embodiment of the present invention provides systems and methods for adaptive video decoding. An example method includes: receiving a video stream comprising a first plurality of pictures having a first type and a second plurality of pictures having a second type; determining whether a resource in the system is constrained; responsive to the determination that a resource in the system is constrained, determining whether a picture repetition mode is to be initiated; and responsive to the determination that a picture mode is to be initiated, initiating the picture repetition mode. The initiating includes: foregoing decoding the first plurality of pictures; decoding the second plurality of pictures; and presenting a picture in the second plurality of pictures a plurality of times.

Interactive discovery of display device characteristics

The present invention is directed towards a primary device that detects the proximity of additional remote devices, which are intended to be within the same local network. The primary device communicates with the remote devices using wireless communication. In the event that the remote devices are outside of a predetermined range, the remote devices are disabled.

Proximity detection using wireless connectivity in a communications system

A method for providing adaptive video compression includes encoding a video stream in a first compressed format, storing the video stream in a storage device, retrieving the video stream from the storage device, decoding the video stream, encoding the video stream in a second compressed format, and storing the video stream in the storage device. Systems and other methods for providing adaptive video compression are also disclosed.

Resource-adaptive management of video storage

An embodiment of the present invention provides systems and methods for adaptive video decoding. An example method includes determining that a video decoding rate of received video input is to be reduced, and receiving video input comprising a first and a second plurality of pictures. The method also includes reducing the video decoding rate while maintaining synchronization with an unmodified audio decoding rate, responsive to the determining that the video decoding rate of the received video input is to be reduced. The reducing includes foregoing decoding the first plurality of pictures and decoding the second plurality of pictures.

System and method for adapting video decoding rate

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing downstream signals to a plurality of receiver networks. A receiver network (i.e., a networked multimedia system) includes a splitter/isolation module (SIM), a primary set-top terminal (STT), and at least one remote device. The remote devices communicate with the primary STT via the SIM over coaxial cable. Accordingly, the remote devices utilize some or all of the features including hardware and software that are included in the primary STT via the networked multimedia system.

System and method for adaptive video processing with coordinated resource allocation

Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving IP video and audio signals at a subscriber's premises. A QAM modulator then modulates the IP signals and provides the modulated signals to a conventional digital home communications terminal (DHCT). Accordingly, conventional DHCTs can be used in an IP-based network.
