  • Patent number: 8879607
    Abstract: A method and a system for storing a constant path loss exponent corresponding to free space; transmitting a signal; receiving the signal via a rake receiver of a user device; identifying a maximum received signal strength based on a signal strength associated with the signal relative to fingers of the rake receiver; storing a current maximum received signal strength value; determining whether the current maximum received signal strength value is a first maximum received signal strength value; calculating a current indoor position of the user device based on the constant path loss exponent and the current maximum received signal strength value when a determination is that the current maximum received signal strength value is the first maximum received signal strength value; and outputting the current indoor position.

  • Patent number: 8462478
    Abstract: A device may include a switch and a circuit coupled to the switch. The switch may include a structure with a top portion and a bottom portion and a material included within the structure. The material is configured to expand within the structure when voltage is applied to the material. The switch may also include a conductive element located in a bottom portion of the structure and connected to the material, wherein the conductive element operates to electrically close the switch when the applied voltage exceeds a threshold. The circuit includes a resistor. The circuit is configured to reduce the voltage supplied to components of the device when the switch is closed.

  • Publication number: 20110012696
    Abstract: A filter for a mobile terminal may include a substrate through which to propagate an acoustic wave; a resonator on a surface of the substrate, the resonator including a first segment and a second segment, the first segment operatively connected to an electrical port; and a switch unit, where the switch unit connects the first segment and the second segment when the switch unit is in one position, the connected first segment and second segment being configured to generate, through the substrate, an acoustic wave at a first frequency, and where the switch unit separates the first segment and the second segment when the switch unit is in another position, the separated first segment being configured to generate, through the substrate, an acoustic wave at a second frequency.
