Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for using a wide keyboard including a wide range of keys in small mobile devices. A method relates to operating a mobile device having a touch sensitive display divided in input and output portions. A first location of a tactile input is detected on an input portion of the touch sensitive display displaying a plurality of keys. Next the input portion display view is zoomed by displaying and linearly magnifying the detected tactile input area and it's surrounding. A second location of a tactile input is detected and a key on the location of a second detected tactile input is highlighted. The highlighted key is activated and identified as an input.

Abstract: To go from a coupled high level to a decoupled low level, a source unit (SU) of a transmitter (T) must be decoupled from a transmission line (TL) by a impedance unit (IU). As a result, oscillatory transition phenomena appear in the output signal and this signal possibly goes beyond a prescribed template. To avoid such overshoot problems the present transmitter (T) decreases the signal level during a decrease period before decoupling the source unit (SU) from the transmission line (TL). Therefore a source control circuit (SCC) is included in the control unit (CU) of the transmitter (T) for controlling the source level in such a way that the output signal level is decreasing.

Abstract: A frame alignment method and system for communicating frames of information between at least two devices. A `start of alignment sequence` is used to cause a device that is in the misaligned state to inform the other device of this state condition in such a way that the other device itself is caused to transition to the misaligned state. The `start of alignment sequence` is therefore a frame alignment error when a device is in the aligned state. Each device in the misaligned state repetitively transmits the `start of alignment sequence`. Each device in the misaligned state transitions to the realignment state upon detection of the `start of alignment sequence`. When in the realignment state the device transmits the `end of alignment sequence` to cause the other device to transition to the aligned state if the other device is in the realignment state.

Abstract: It is known in the state of the art to equip conical loudspeakers, which are suitable for reproducing long excursion or wide band audio signals, with magnet systems (10), which contain a ring-shaped permanent magnet (12) made of ferrite. To make the induction, required by these magnet systems (10), available in the air gap (20), it is necessary to design the permanent magnets (12) in a large size. It is also known to construct short excursion magnet systems in such a way, that the pole core is made of a high energy magnetic material (-neodymium). This pole core is located in the center of a pot magnet. Such magnet systems, which have the same output and can be built considerably smaller and lighter than the types of magnet systems (10) mentioned first, cannot be transferred to the magnet systems (10) that are suitable for the reproduction of wide band or long excursion audio signals, because a neodymium pole core is not able to produce the induction in the air gap required by such magnet systems (10).
