Patent number: 7853300Abstract: A sliding mechanism includes two members, one of which is slidable with respect to the other along an axis. One of the members slides back and forth with respect to the other between a first position and a second position. A leaf spring is used as a positioning element to hold one of the members in either the first position or the second position. The leaf spring is attached to one of the two members and the other of the two members includes a projection. The leaf spring abuts the projection holding the slidable member in either the first position or the second position. When a user pushes one of the members from one position to another, the projection pushes the leaf spring out of the way until it passes an apex of the leaf spring and is held in the other position.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Interplex Nas, Inc.Inventor: Jack Seidler

Patent number: 7835727Abstract: An application that runs on a User Equipment (UE) in one of three main modes: (1) listener, (2) proxy, or (3) controller, and defaults to listener mode. A UE is placed by a user into controller mode, which causes the application to scan the area covered by its Bluetooth radio and identify other Bluetooth enabled devices. For all the Bluetooth devices found, the controller attempts to contact the UEs in listener mode to form a group of interested listeners. The UE in controller mode then sends a message to all group members. The message alerts the user of each UE in listening mode to prepare to take a photograph or video. The UE in listener mode provides the users with audio and visual cues and after a time period each UE in the group takes a photograph or a video.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventor: Stephen Nadas

Patent number: 7830845Abstract: A wireless access point and multiple wireless terminals exchange utilization, status, mobility and reception characteristics. Each wireless terminal generates reception characteristics based on transmissions received from the wireless access point and from other devices in the network. In one operating mode, the characteristics gathered by the wireless devices are forwarded to the wireless access point, and, based on all received characteristics, the wireless access point selects its own transmission power for different types of the transmission. In another mode, all characteristics are exchanged between every wireless terminal and the access point so that each can independently or cooperatively make transmission power control decisions. In a further mode, the wireless access point adjusts protocol parameters based on an assessment of the characteristics received from the client devices, to detect an event such as a hidden terminal condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: James D.

Patent number: 7813735Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a power efficient cell search in a multi-cell wireless communication system are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) having a memory that stores a cell identification list of prioritized previously top-ranked cell identities (IDs) is used to perform the cell search. A primary synchronization code (PSC) correlation peak location on a received signal is selected. A common pilot channel (CPICH) correlation value is determined by non-coherent integration of a local signal created based on a first cell ID on the cell identification list to the received signal. If the CPICH correlation value is greater than a noise threshold, thus indicating that the first cell ID is a newly found cell ID, or if a last cell ID in the cell identification list is reached, an additional determination is made as to whether there is more than one cell ID on the list having the same timing.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: InterDigital Technology CoporationInventors: Frederic Monfet, Alpaslan Demir, Mark L.
