Abstract: A display list with slot instructions is provided to interface between platform software and a display engine. A display list interface is created for each frame of image data that is to be updated and displayed on a display. In some circumstances, the display list may be reused for subsequent frames, for example, when generating a stream of video images for a video mode display showing a static image. A display list may be part of the interface between a software driver and a scalable display engine architecture that has multiple repetitive processing blocks enabling the same or multiple frames to be processed in parallel to produce update frames for one or more display devices.

Abstract: An electronic device is described comprising connecting means configured to establish a connection to another device, and configured to receive electrical power from the connection and configured to receive information from the other device via the connection and comprising determining means configured to determine a set of limitations, wherein for at least one electronic unit configured to receive electrical power, the set of limitations comprises a limitation of electrical power to be distributed to the at least electronic unit and wherein the determining means is further configured to determine the set of limitations based on the information received from the other device, wherein the received information comprises a request for a reduced power consumption of the electronic device.

Abstract: In a method for synchronizing a mobile station with the base station in a mobile communication system, a reference-frequency oscillator is re-adjusted. To enable an inexpensive reference-frequency oscillator of simple construction to be used, the frequency variations resulting from a change in the temperature of the mobile station and a change in its location are determined and/or predicted separately. When the frequency variations are large, the mobile station is synchronized with the base station more frequently than when they are small.
