Address Resolution Protocol ARP Stuffing

1 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.

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

1 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

1 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

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html

Sony - Audio encoding

1 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 DVD-Audio. 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.

USB memory stick - Flash memory cards

1 Flash memory cards, e.g., Secure Digital cards, are available in various formats and capacities, and are used

by many consumer devices. However, while virtually all PCs have USB ports, allowing the use of USB flash drives, memory card readers

are not commonly supplied as standard equipment (particularly

with desktop computers). Although inexpensive card readers are

available that read many common formats, this results in two pieces of

portable equipment (card plus reader) rather than one.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html

USB memory stick - Flash memory cards

1 An additional advantage of memory cards is that many consumer devices (e.g., digital cameras, portable music

players) cannot make use of USB flash drives (even if the device has a

USB port), whereas the memory cards used by the devices can be read by PCs with a card reader.

Compact Flash

1 CompactFlash remains popular and is supported not only in many high end

consumer devices, but in some professional applications as well

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html

Compact Flash - File systems

1 CompactFlash cards for use in consumer devices are typically

formatted as FAT12 (for media up to 16 MiB), FAT16 (for media up to 2 GiB, sometimes up to 4 GiB) and

FAT32 (for media larger than 2 GiB). This lets the devices be read by

personal computers but also suits the limited processing ability of some consumer devices such as digital

camera|cameras.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html

Compact Flash - Compared to other portable storage

1 *CompactFlash is physically larger than other card formats. This limits

its use, especially in miniature consumer devices where internal

space is limited, such as point and shoot camera|point-and-shoot digital

cameras. (An offsetting benefit of larger size is that the card is easier to insert and remove, and harder to

misplace.)https://store.theartofservice.com/the-consumer-devices-toolkit.html

Low frequency - Standard time signals

1 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 1999.
