  • Publication number: 20120162937
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board, a fixing device, and a color-changing layer. The fixing device is capable of holding and securing the circuit board and includes a main body and a cover. The cover is rotatably hinged to the main body. The color-changing layer is located on either or both of the circuit board and cover. When the circuit board is assembled at a predetermined position of the fixing device and is secured on the main body by the cover, the cover exerts a pressure to form protruding points on the color-changing layer at the positions corresponding to the elastic contacts, the color-changing generates an electric field and changes color, which is easily and quickly verifiable by a worker.

  • Publication number: 20120163175
    Abstract: A network device monitors the traffic of individual flows through one of its ingress ports and, if the traffic volume exceeds a predetermined threshold, signals for a reduction in data traffic volume transmitted to that ingress port from one or more source devices. Example signals may include without limitation a unicast congestion message sent to the source of a flow, an Explicit Congestion Notification to one or more source devices, and the dropping of packets by the receiving device. In response to such signals, one or more of the source devices decrease the transmission rate of data traffic to the receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20120163618
    Abstract: An audio transmission system includes a first communication module, a second communication module, a microphone a receiver, and an antenna. The microphone receives an analog audio signal from users. The first and second communication modules convert the analog audio signal into a first or third RF signal. The antenna sends the RF signal to other portable electronic devices. The first and second communication modules also receive a second or forth RF signal from other portable electronic devices via the antenna and convert the second or forth RF signal into an analog audio signal. The receiver outputs the analog audio signal to the users.

  • Publication number: 20120165007
    Abstract: A trunking protocol for a two-way radio communication system designates an available channel as a parking channel for radios on standby. The parking channel is converted to an active voice channel upon request for a voice call, and non-called radios are then moved from the newly-designated voice channel to a newly-designated parking channel. Upon completion of the voice call, the participating radios are moved to the then-existing parking channel, and the channel of the just-completed voice call becomes available. If all channels are busy such that no parking channel is available, the radios in standby mode convert to operate in scan mode until a channel becomes available to serve as the parking channel.

  • Publication number: 20120163200
    Abstract: In a method for adjusting the modulation of information onto subcarriers transmitted on a network, a first modulation profile of a network node on the network is set a first density. A plurality of messages in support of a link maintenance operation (LMO) on the network are monitored. The first modulation profile of the network node is updated to a second modulation profile having a second density. The updating is based on the monitored messages. Interference is detected by determining that a link between the first network node and a second network node on the network is not conveying a predetermined class of messages correctly. The first network node is set to a third modulation profile more robust than the first and second modulation profiles in response to the detected interference. The third modulation profile is common to each network node on the network.

  • Publication number: 20120165068
    Abstract: The present invention relates a method and a mobile communication device for generating an adaptive ring signal level in the mobile communication device in response to the surrounding environmental condition of said mobile communication device and also in response to the way the mobile communication device is stored away. By comparing a transfer that is determined based on the relation between an emitted signal from the loudspeaker and a response recorded by the microphone and an ideal transfer function a calculated response function is obtained. The calculated response function is compared with predefined response functions stored in a look up table to find a match that is then selected. The ring signal is thereafter adjusted to a level that corresponds to the values associated with and stored together with the selected predefined response function.
