Abstract: The present invention provides for a wireless radio frequency (“RF”) modem that plugs into a host computer and shares a central processing unit and memory with the host computer, wherein principal modem functions are distributed between the modem and the host computer. In one embodiment, the modem performs RF conversion, and the host computer performs baseband processing and protocol stack control. In another embodiment, the modem performs RF conversion and baseband processing, and the host computer performs protocol stack control.

Abstract: The invention relates to the formulation of deltamethrin as water-dispersible granules which comprise wetting agents, dispersants, solid inert substances and one or more acids in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the mixture to a value in the range from 1 to 7. The granules are particularly useful for controlling animal pests.

Abstract: A monolithic transceiver integrated circuit that includes a substrate, a transmitter subsystem of one or more subcircuits on the substrate, and a receiver subsystem of one or more, subcircuits on the substrate. Also included is a bias current supply coupled to the receiver and transmitter subsystems to provide bias current. The bias current supply includes a first bias circuit on the substrate coupled to, and to supply bias current to, a first subcircuit of the transmitter subsystem. The first bias circuit includes a first current modulator having a first switch input to indicate that the bias current is to start or stop being supplied to the first subcircuit. The first current modulator is to control the rate of change of supplied bias current in response to the first switch input. The first subcircuit may be a power amplifier. The control of the rate of change reduces oscillator pull in at least one oscillator included in the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A local oscillator calibrator comprises a main charge pump that drives a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) through a loop filter. A second, replica charge pump can also drive the VCO, but is setup to output only its most positive or most negative analog output control voltage. Since the construction and characteristics of the replica charge pump duplicate the main charge pump, the main charge pump's minimum and maximum analog control outputs can be cloned out to the VCO on demand. A VCO calibration procedure therefore includes switching the VCO to each of its ranges set by a bank of fixed capacitors, and using the replica charge pump to drive the VCO to its minimum and maximum frequency for each range setting. The min-max frequency data is stored in a lookup table, and operational requests to switch to a new channel frequency can be supported with a priori information about which fixed-capacitor range selection will be best.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) in which R represents the remainder of an alcohol used in the pyrethroid series, in all their possible stereoisomer forms as well as their mixtures, and compositions comprising them. The compounds of formula (I) are useful as pesticides.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for loading an object class into computer memory for access by an object-oriented application. A first object class is loaded into the computer memory, and initially a classload request for the first object class traverses from a first classloader to a second classloader. A destructible classloader is created that contains a second object class which may be a modification of the first object class. After creating the destructible classloader, the classload request traverses from the first classloader to the destructible classloader and then to the second classloader. The destructible classloader attempts to load into the computer memory the second object class if the second classloader fails to load the second object class.

Abstract: The present invention is directed at a method and apparatus for updating a detachable software configurable wireless radio frequency modem that uses operating software. The RF modem uses an attached host computing device to download an operating software update to the RF modem's memory to reconfigure the RF modem. There is also a recovery feature that allows the original version of the RF modem's operating software to be saved and recovered if an attempt to update the RF modem's operating software is unsuccessful.
