Abstract: An electrical device comprising an integrated circuit (IC) having an uppermost layer that includes landing pads that are distributed throughout one side of the IC.

Abstract: An electrical device comprising an electronic component mounted to a surface of a printed circuit board, a ground connection on said surface, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The EMI shielding includes an electrical insulator coating the electronic component, the insulator contacting the surface, and a conductive layer covering the electrical insulator, and contacting the electrical insulator and the ground connection.

Abstract: A shielded electronic package, comprising a semiconductor device, an insulating housing surrounding the semiconductor device and a metal coating on the insulating housing. The metal coating covers all but those portions of the insulating housing that are adjacent to connective structures on one or more mounting sides of the insulating housing.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an automated emergency alert system includes a handheld portable communication device operable to initiate communication over a wireless telecommunications network, a dynamic sensor operable to generate an acceleration profile for the device, and a memory operable to store one or more predefined acceleration profiles each associated with an emergency event.

Abstract: The specification discloses an input transistor (14) which is variable between high and low impedance states in response to input voltage transitions at terminal 10. An output transistor (16) is coupled to the input transistor (14) and is responsive to an input transition at terminal 10 for changing impedance states. Circuitry including a speed up transistor (44) is coupled between the input transistor (14) and output transistor (16) for applying added current to the output transistor (16) to speed the change of impedance state. The circuitry applies added current to output transistor (16) until the output voltage at terminal (18) falls below twice the base-emitter voltage of the output transistor (16).
