Abstract: The invention relates to a method of adjusting a radio frequency signal produced by radio frequency circuitry in response to receipt of phase and amplitude control signals from digital baseband circuitry which operates to convert digital data signals into such phase and amplitude control signals. The phase and amplitude control signals are adjusted in the digital baseband circuitry in order to compensate for time alignment errors which occur in the radio frequency circuitry.

Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes a calibration circuit with a controllable circuit element such as a digital resistor. One or more properties of the controllable circuit element (e.g., the resistance in a digital resistor) is varied by a digital calibration word such that the voltage drop across the resistor matches a reference voltage. The calibration word is also used to control the resistance of a transistor that forms a part of a power amplifier to compensate for temperature and process variations. The amplifier may be a switching power amplifier, and the transistor may be a segmented transistor with the width (and hence the channel resistance) controlled by the digital calibration word.

Abstract: A method, system and agent for exchanging the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Technical Specification document number a first node uses, with a second node of the network, so that subsequent communications can be properly carried between the nodes. The first node may be an agent and the second node may be a manager of a management system. The manager sends a GetXXXIRPVersion request message, a GetNotificationCategories request message, or a GetNetworkResourceSchemeId request message, to which the agent responds with an abridged version of the 3GPP TS document number the agent uses in this type of communications, so that the manager is informed of the protocol employed by the agent and can expect communications of the type indicated by the agent.

Abstract: A trailer position indicator having a trailer attachment member, a boom arm, and a guidance member is provided. The trailer attachment member is configured to be attached to a cross member of a boat trailer. The boom arm is pivotally connected at a lower end to the trailer attachment member, and the guidance member is connected to the upper end of the boom arm. A torsion spring is operably connected to the boom arm and trailer attachment member to bias the boom arm toward an extended position, yet allow the boom arm to be pushed to a stowed position as a boat is loaded on the trailer. A bracket protector is attached to the trailer attachment member and a protective sleeve is disposed on the boom arm for protecting the boat during loading and unloading.

Abstract: Load redistribution and other benefits may be achieved by dynamically distributing or “steering” idle mobile stations to a particular cell or area. For example, idle mobile stations may be steered from a loaded cell to less loaded cells by changing one or more cell broadcast parameters.

Abstract: Idle mobile stations are steered to a particular cell or service area to accommodate subscriber preferences or restrictions, subscription services, or network operator preferences or restrictions and/or to accomplish load redistribution or other network management functions. Multiple idle mobile station steering factors are considered. Steering may be accomplished using a variety of techniques such as rejecting registration attempts in certain cells and accepting those attempts in others and adjusting cell broadcast parameters.

Abstract: To generate a high-power modulated radio frequency signal SOUT from an input low or medium frequency information signal SIN, the information signal is pulse-shaped in a quantifier to form a digital signal SD having discrete signal values. The digital signal is processed in a switching unit comprising switches for each signal value, in radio frequency wave generators for each switch generating carrier waves of radio frequency, and in control circuits for each switch to control the opening and closing thereof. When a switch is closed, its associated generator is connected to the output line of the switching unit, and when it is opened, the generator is disconnected therefrom. In the switching unit, a switched radio frequency signal SSW carrying the information of the input signal is formed by opening and closing the switches when the digital signal adopts or does not adopt, respectively, the signal value associated with the respective switch.
