  • Publication number: 20090210471
    Abstract: A method for transforming a data stream and a communication system thereof are provided. In a second communication terminal, a padding data of the data stream of a first communication terminal is checked whether it corresponds to a default value so as to determine whether a first bit order used for the data stream of the first communication terminal is consistent with a second bit order used for a data stream of the second communication terminal. When the padding data does not correspond to the default value, the data stream transmitted from the first communication terminal is transformed from the first bit order to the second bit order by the second communication terminal.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a base station antenna protection system and the method thereof. The base station antenna protection system receives a wind moving in a direction, and comprises a base station antenna, a sensor, a protective surface and a rotatory device. The sensor is coupled to the base station antenna to detect a deviation of the base station antenna on the direction of the wind. A side of the protective surface is opposite to the base station antenna. The rotatory device is coupled to the protective surface. When the deviation exceeds a predetermined value, the rotatory device rotates the protective surface to cause another side of the protective surface to be opposite to the wind.

    Abstract: A method of automatically playing text information in voice by an electronic device under strong light is applied to an electronic device (such as a mobile phone). The device includes a light sensor, a text to speech unit, and a display such as a liquid crystal display. The light sensor detects an intensity of ambient light, and when the intensity is greater than a predetermined value, the text to speech unit will convert text information (such as a textual description or short message) into corresponding voice signals, and an audio speaker (such as a loudspeaker or earphone) of the electronic device plays the voice signals. When users can not view the text information on the screen clearly under strong light, the electronic device can read the text information and play the text information in voice, and users can still listen to the desired text information under strong light by the method.
