Settings are applied to configure the automation system control panel for use as a wireless access point providing two-way communication with one or more electronic devices. Applying settings includes receiving input directly at a graphical user interface of the automation system control panel, the graphical user interface further providing access to control the one or more automation components. The automation system control panel is wirelessly connected to one or more electronic devices via a wireless access point interface using the settings applied at the graphical user interface. | 2014-09-18 |
20140269661 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM - If a network having the same SSID as but a different BSSID from those of a network that has been established by a first communication apparatus is detected, the network established by the first communication apparatus is terminated and the first communication apparatus participates in the detected network. This makes it possible for the first communication apparatus and another communication apparatus to participate in the same network. | 2014-09-18 |
20140269662 | WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK ACCESS CONTROLLED BY CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS - A centralized wireless local area network access controller includes a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions. The instructions cause the centralized wireless local area network access controller to perform a process. The process includes receiving, via a cellular network, information from a dual mode mobile device within range of a wireless local area network. The process also includes confirming that the dual mode mobile device can communicate via the wireless local area network. The process also includes sending instructions for the dual mode mobile device to communicate via the wireless local area network. | 2014-09-18 |

A mute controller is coupled to the mute amplifier and the dummy amplifier, the mute controller is responsive to an enable signal and configured to enable the dummy amplifier and disable the mute amplifier when no RF output signal is being generated and disable the dummy amplifier and enable the mute amplifier when the RF output signal is being generated such that total power supply current delivered to the synthesized signal source and the dummy amplifier or mute amplifier is approximately constant before, during, and after enabling the mute amplifier to reduce phase disturbance of the RF output signals. | 2014-09-18 |
20140269666 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENT SIGNALING OF COMMUNICATION MODE AND DELIMITER INFORMATION - Various aspects for efficient preamble selection and configuration based on wireless communication parameters to provide a reduction of preamble overhead by generating and transmitting packet preambles based on a data rate that is to be used for communication between wireless devices are disclosed herein. In one aspect of the disclosed approach, a preamble sequence is selected from a set of preamble sequences, wherein each preamble sequence is associated with at least one communication mode and the selected preamble sequence is configured to signal a respective communication mode. A preamble structure is generated based on the selected preamble sequences and then transmitted to a receiver. A period of silence may be associated with the communication mode to be communicated, and the transmitter may be configured to not transmit the preamble structure before the period of silence expires. | 2014-09-18 |
