Can you use microsoft wireless usb adapter as usb bluetooth dongle?

Apr 03, 2009 by puppetmaker77 | Posted in Add-ons

I have a Microsoft Wireless Notebook and I was wondering if the USB adapter can be used as a Bluetooth adapter for other purposes?
Example: Connecting a PC to a Wiimote?

If the wireless adapter is a Bluetooth adapter for wireless Bluetooth mouse, you can use it for other Bluetooth devices. If the wireless adapter is typical for a non-Bluetooth wireless mouse, it can not be used as a Bluetooth adapter.

2011 Kia Optima Hybrid

16.06.11

Kia reuses the 2.4-liter engine block from the standard Optima in its hybrid, but makes a few changes to the head. Gone is the direct-injection system; it's been replaced with a more traditional port-injection setup and a change to the Atkinson combustion cycle. We, at first, scoffed at this perceived aspirational downgrade, but Kia's engineers tell us that when combined with the electric motor, the Atkinson cycle proved to be as efficient as the direct-injection setup, and was also less expensive for the consumer--and Kia's all about making things less expensive.

Working in tandem with the gasoline engine is Kia's hybrid electrification system, a doughnut-shaped electric motor and generator that sits between the engine and the six-speed automatic transmission. The engine, motor, and gearbox are all connected with a wet clutch, which ideally is more efficient than the more common automatic transmission torque converter.

The motor is able to accelerate the vehicle from a stop under pure electric energy--and usually does so up to about 18 mph to 20 mph. Once up to speed, the motor can also provide electric assist, boosting the power of the gasoline engine, or allow the vehicle to cruise for periods in EV mode. We were surprised to look down at the instrument cluster and see the Optima occasionally illuminate the EV mode light at upward of 70 mph (on a slight downgrade, of course) despite the fact that Kia's materials state an EV cap of 62 mph.

Marios Braindump » Anycom Bluetooth USB Adapter on Windows 7

by Mario

For the first time I could personally sense the effects of the economic crisis. The manufacturer of my Bluetooth device ANYCOM USB-200, the Germany-based ITM Technology AG is insolvent. Immediate effect for customers like me: No more driver updates and their general unavailability on the homepage.

Here is the good news for everybody who wants to use an ANYCOM Bluetooth USB adapter (200, 250, 500) on Windows 7. The Vista driver runs just fine under Windows 7. And I got the driver ( “anycom-bluetooth-usb200-250-500-vista-v6-1-0-4700.exe”). If anybody needs it, feel free to send me an email (see About ). It may be worth noting that Windows 7 complains about not being able to correctly install Bluetooth devices like a headset (Plantronics Voyager 510 for me), while in fact you you only need the correct driver for the adapter.
