Abstract: A method for controlling receive diversity of an antenna system of a computer device, the antenna system including two or more antenna elements. The method includes establishing a session with a remote transmitting system and determining whether a predetermined criteria detected by the computer device is satisfied within the session. If the predetermined criteria is satisfied within the session, the method includes activating at least two of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions, enabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing receive diversity on the received transmissions. If the predetermined criteria is not satisfied within the session, the method includes activating at least one of the antenna elements, disabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing a default signal processing on the received transmissions. A mobile communication device may be used to perform the method.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for data access for a mobile terminal comprising a module for determining whether first and second modes of wireless network coverage is available, a module for selecting the first mode if available, a module for attempting access via the second mode on failure to establish access via the first mode and a module for monitoring availability of the first mode. Even when a connection is established via the second mode, availability of the first mode is monitored and access attempted, when second mode connection is idle.

Abstract: When a mobile device moves from a first QoS-aware system to a second QoS-aware system, QoS flows may or may not be moved properly. To deal with this, the mobile device requests de-allocation of flows in the second QoS-aware system, and then initiates reservation of flows in the second QoS-aware system. After this, the mobile device will know for certain which QoS flows exist in the second QoS-aware system and can behave accordingly.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for adjusting trim settings for internally generated voltages of an integrated circuit device are provided. In one embodiment the apparatus receives a target digital value for an internally generated voltage, and compares the target digital value to a current digital value for the internally generated voltage. If the comparison indicates that a difference between the target digital value and the current digital value is greater than an allowable threshold, a trim setting used to trim the internally generated voltage is adjusted based on the difference. The trim setting may be adjusted until the difference between the target digital value and the current digital value is less than or equal to the allowable threshold.

Abstract: A testing system or method compares read data from one or more dies in a semiconductor wafer with the original data written onto the one or more dies The testing system includes one or more write registers connected to one or more dies on the semiconductor wafer. One or more comparators are connected to the dies and the write registers. The comparator generates a result in response to the original data and the read data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring and adjusting an analog signal of an operating circuit. The apparatus includes a control circuit, an analog-to-digital converter, and a comparator. The control circuit has an analog generator for generating the analog signal and an adjusting circuit for adjusting the strength of the analog signal. The analog-to-digital converter receives the analog signal and converts the analog signal to a digital signal. The comparator then compares the value of the digital signal to a predetermined value and generates a comparator signal. The adjusting circuit then receives the comparator signal and adjusts the strength of the analog signal based upon the value of the comparator signal. The method includes generating the analog signal, converting the analog signal to a digital signal, comparing the value of the digital signal to a predetermined value and adjusting the strength of the analog signal.

Abstract: The invention described in this patent is a motion control system hierarchy where all the components are connected by a two way communication link, which gives the system an ability to transfer data from all levels of the hierarchy up to a PC to be viewed and/or modified. Further, the user interface to the motion control system hierarchy is a ubiquitous web browser obviating the need for additional software installation on the PC. By interfacing through a web browser and adding a embedded web server to the motion controller, the communication protocol is fixed but the format of the communication remains flexible. The invention also uses the Extensible Markup Language (XML) as a means for keeping the interface between the PC and the motion controller as flexible as possible. Among the uses of XML in this invention are as a tool for configuration, data sharing, and for remote procedure calls.
