  • Publication number: 20180292871
    Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for device designers to overcome such limitations by incorporating a dynamic fluid cooling system to transfer heat within the device amongst various subsystems and convect the heat externally, versus current static thermal solutions which conductively spread heat in a limited manner at significant cost. Specifically these dynamic fluid cooling methods and apparatus for electronic device enable increased performance and decreased cost across many of the device subsystems including but not limited to: electronics, integrated circuits, batteries, display panels, touch panels, lighting, audio transducers, imaging, flash LEDs and chargers.

  • Patent number: 8677074
    Abstract: Memory access techniques, in accordance with embodiments of the present technology, redirect memory access requests received from a baseband processor to shared memory coupled to an application processor. The techniques enable substantially real time read and write accesses by the application and baseband processors to the shared memory coupled to the application processor.

  • Patent number: 6850617
    Abstract: A telephone receiver circuit with sidetone signal generation controlled by voice activity detection in accordance with the present invention uses the voice activity detector (VAD) to detect the presence of voice activity within the microphone signal and dynamically adjust the sidetone signal generation to compensate for noisy environments by eliminating or reducing the sidetone signal in the absence of voice activity. Hence, a sidetone signal is generated in the presence of voice activity, when feedback is required, while the sidetone signal is not generated in the absence of voice activity, since audio feedback for the user is not required then.

  • Patent number: 5738954
    Abstract: A battery continuation apparatus (104) contains an electrochemical cell (1039) and a bypass mechanism (1100). When attached to an electronic device (100), the bypass mechanism (1100) selectively connects the one electrochemical cell (1039) to power the electronic device (100) or selectively bypasses the electrochemical cell (1039) when a battery pack (102) or an additional battery continuation apparatus (2001) having a second source of power is coupled to the battery continuation apparatus (104).
