Address Resolution Protocol ARP Stuffing
This is a solution to an issue in network
management of consumer devices,
specifically the allocation of IP addresses
of ethernet devices where 1) the user
doesn't have the ability to control DHCP or
similar address allocation protocols, 2) the
device doesn't have a user interface to
configure it, and 3) the user's computer
can't communicate with it because it has
no suitable IP address.

The IEEE controls many software and
hardware protocols in the electronics
industry for commercial and consumer
devices

Broadcom also provides components for a
number of high-profile consumer devices:

Integrated Services Digital Network Basic Rate Interface
The S interface is a four-wire bus that
ISDN consumer devices plug into; the S &
T reference points are commonly
implemented as a single interface labeled
'S/T' on an Network termination 1 (NT1).

Micro coaxial cables are used in a range
of consumer devices, military equipment,
and also in ultra-sound scanning
equipment.

Bluetooth Overview
1
Bluetooth v2.1 – finalized in 2007 with
consumer devices first appearing in
2009 – makes significant changes to
Bluetooth's security, including pairing.
See the pairing mechanisms section for
more about these changes.

Linux for embedded systems - Devices coverage
1
Due to its low cost and ease of customization,
Linux has been shipped in many consumer
devices
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html
Microprocessor - Embedded applications
1
Such products as cellular telephones,
DVD video system and HDTV
broadcast systems fundamentally
require consumer devices with
powerful, low-cost, microprocessors
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html
Microprocessor - 8-bit designs
1
The Western Design Center, Inc (WDC)
introduced the CMOS 65C02 in 1982 and
licensed the design to several firms. It
was used as the CPU in the Apple IIe and
IIc personal computers as well as in
medical implantable grade pacemakers
and defibrillators, automotive, industrial
and consumer devices. WDC pioneered
the licensing of microprocessor designs,
later followed by ARM and other
microprocessor Intellectual Property
(IP) providers in the 1990s.

Crystal oscillator
Quartz crystals are manufactured for
frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to
hundreds of megahertz. More than two billion
crystals are manufactured annually. Most are
used for consumer devices such as
wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers, and
cellphones. Quartz crystals are also found
inside test and measurement equipment,
such as counters, signal generators, and
oscilloscopes.

Smart grid - Peak curtailment/leveling and time of use pricing
It is thought that consumers and
businesses will tend to consume less
during high demand periods if it is possible
for consumers and consumer devices to
be aware of the high price premium for
using electricity at peak periods

Sony - Audio encoding
Sony and Philips jointly developed the
Sony-Philips digital interface format
(S/PDIF) and the high-fidelity audio
system SACD. The later has since been
entrenched in a format war with DVDAudio. At present, neither has gained a
major foothold with the general public.
CDs are preferred by consumers because
of ubiquitous presence of CD drives in
consumer devices.

Frequency-hopping spread spectrum - Civilian use
In the US, since the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
amended rules to allow frequency hopping
spread spectrum systems in the
unregulated 2.4 GHz band, many
consumer devices in that band have
employed various spread-spectrum
modes.

IEEE 1394 - Improvements (IEEE 1394a-2000)
1394a also standardized the 4conductor alpha connector developed
by Sony and trademarked as "i.LINK",
already widely in use on consumer
devices such as camcorders, most PC
laptops, a number of PC desktops, and
other small FireWire devices. The 4conductor connector is fully datacompatible with 6-conductor alpha
interfaces but lacks power connectors.

Electrical engineering - Electronics
Prior to the second world war, the subject
was commonly known as radio engineering
and basically was restricted to aspects of
communications and radar, commercial radio
and early television. Later, in post war years,
as consumer devices began to be developed,
the field grew to include modern television,
audio systems, computers and
microprocessors. In the mid-to-late 1950s,
the term radio engineering gradually gave
way to the name electronic engineering.

Open Mobile Terminal Platform - Activities
1
OMTP is perhaps best known for its work
in the field of mobile security, but its work
encompassed the full range of mobile
device capabilities. OMTP published
recommendations in 2007 and early 2008
on areas such as Positioning Enablers,
Advanced Device Management, IMS and
Mobile VoIP. Later, the Advanced Trusted
Environment: OMTP TR1 and its
supporting document, 'Security Threats
on Embedded Consumer Devices' were
released, with the endorsement of the UK
Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith.

Telenor - Operations
Telenor Comoyo offers video rental
over internet, and is (in November
2012) working on their new service,
View. Like Netflix, Comoyo View will
be paid by monthly fee and supported
on all major consumer devices except
desktop Linux. Currently in closed
beta testing, Comoyo hopes to launch
View in late 2012, starting with
Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Tablet computer - Touchscreen hardware
1
Capacitive touchscreens tend to be less
accurate, but more responsive than
resistive devices. Because they require a
conductive material, such as a finger tip,
for input, they are not common among
stylus-oriented devices, but are prominent
on consumer devices.

History of Apple Inc. - Early-mid-1990s
1
In addition to computers, Apple has also
produced consumer devices. In 1993,
Apple released the Newton, an early
personal digital assistant (PDA). It defined
and launched the PDA category and was a
forerunner and inspiration of devices such
as Palm Pilot and Pocket PC.

AIBO - Aperios and Open-R
1
Aperios is Sony's Proprietary Real-Time
Operating System, used in all AIBOs,
QRIO and some other consumer devices.
Aperios OS was intended to be widely
deployed using revolutionary real-time
capabilities to handle multiple audio and
visual data streams concurrently The
Operating System was not widely
adopted, and by 2003 Sony had stopped
active development with COO Kunitake
Ando commenting Aperios was an
Operating System of a pre-Internet age
and we decided that it isn't adequate for
the future.

Contour Crafting
Using a quick-setting, concrete-like
material, contour crafting forms the
house's walls layer by layer until topped off
by floors and ceilings set in place by the
crane. The notional concept calls for the
insertion of structural components,
plumbing, wiring, utilities, and even
consumer devices like audiovisual
systems as the layers are built.

Potential applications of carbon nanotubes - Coatings and Films

CNTs provide a less expensive alternative
to ITO for a range of consumer devices.
Besides cost, CNT's flexible, transparent
conductors offer an advantage over brittle
ITO coatings for flexible displays. CNT
conductors can be deposited from
solution and patterned by methods such
as screen printing. SWNT films offer 90%
transparency and a sheet resistivity of 100
ohm per square. Such films are under
development for thin-film heaters, such as

Low frequency - Standard time signals
In Europe and Japan, many low-cost
consumer devices have since the late 1980s
contained radio clocks with an LF receiver for
these signals. Since these frequencies
propagate by ground wave only, the precision
of time signals is not affected by varying
propagation paths between the transmitter,
the ionosphere, and the receiver. In the
United States, such devices became feasible
for the mass market only after the output
power of WWVB was increased in 1997 and
