Abstract: A wireless IC interconnect system and method facilitates interconnections between first and second IC locations via a wireless transmission medium; the IC locations may be on the same chip or on separate chips. A signal to be conveyed is modulated, and the modulated signal is capacitively coupled to the wireless transmission medium—preferably a properly terminated microstrip transmission line (MTL) or a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The modulated signal is capacitively coupled from the wireless medium to a receiver which demodulates the modulated signal and provides the demodulated signal to the second IC location. In a preferred embodiment, the wireless transmission system conveys numerous signals simultaneously, with the signals modulated and demodulated with multiple access algorithms such as code-division (CDMA) and/or frequency-division (FDMA) multiple access algorithms.

Abstract: A subscriber unit of a time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone system is, from a power consumption standpoint, reconfigured in each time slot of a TDMA frame to a power consumption tessellation in which subscriber unit circuit components not needed for communication signal processing in that time slot are powered down, and other components are powered up.
Some circuit components are powered down by switching their power supply circuits. In order to minimize the extent of circuitry that must be provided to distribute power consumption control signals, other techniques (which utilize circuitry provided for other purposes), such as clock frequency control or power down commands, also are utilized to modify controlled circuit component power consumption without actually controlling power supply circuits.
Abstract: A management server managing a fixed address of a mobile terminal, at least two dynamic addresses dynamically allotted to the mobile terminal when it exists in two service areas at one time. A host transmits a packet with the fixed address of the mobile terminal used as a header. If the mobile terminal exist in at least the two service areas (apart from other areas), it notifies a management server of the dynamic addresses of the two service areas in real time. If the packet is transmitted from the host and the two dynamic addresses are allotted to the mobile terminal, the management server transfers a packet with these two dynamic addresses used as a header.
Abstract: A waterproof bag system is described for enclosing a portable field radio that includes a transceiver, an antenna, a handset, and antenna and handset cables to join the antenna and handset to the transceiver. The bag system includes a flexible transceiver bag that has a continuous outer wall enclosing an interior transceiver chamber, a sealable transceiver access opening into the chamber, and sealable antenna and handset cable ports extending through said transceiver bag wall for which the antenna and handset can be connected to the transceiver without leakage. The transceiver bag also includes an antenna mount. The handset is separately enclosed by a flexible handset enclosure having an outer wall defining a handset chamber. A sealable cable opening extends through the handset wall. A section of the face of the handset bag is transparent, as is a section of the transceiver bag, permitting viewing of the interior of each bag.
