  • Patent number: 9912425
    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) communication circuitry comprises an RF transceiver and conflict detection circuitry. The RF transceiver includes a first communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a first local oscillator (LO) receive frequency; and a second communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a second LO receive frequency and to operate simultaneously with the first communication path. The conflict detection circuitry is configured to determine path crosstalk using the first and second LO receive frequencies and using a first LO transmit frequency used by the first RF transceiver or a second RF transceiver to up-convert electrical signals for RF transmission, and initiate a change of the first LO receive frequency by a first frequency shift value and a change of the second LO receive frequency by a second frequency shift value in response to the path crosstalk.

  • Patent number: 9369225
    Abstract: An integrated circuit has a clock subsystem, and a circuit. The clock subsystem is configured to provide a reference clock signal to a first module and a second module. The circuit is configured to distribute information describing characteristics of the reference clock signal to the second module. The information distributed with the circuit enables the second module to adapt the reference clock signal based on the information.

  • Patent number: 8848847
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a combined mixer filter circuit. The circuit includes a sampler, a plurality of filter branches, and a coefficient generator. The sampler is configured to provide a sampled signal by sampling a received signal at a specified rate. The plurality of filter branches has selectable filter coefficients. The plurality of filter branches are configured to receive the sampled signal and generate a mixed and filtered output signal without a separate mixer component. The coefficient generator is coupled to the plurality of filter branches. The coefficient generator is configured to assign filter coefficient values to the selectable filter coefficients to yield a selected mixing function for the mixed filtered output signal.

  • Patent number: 6817891
    Abstract: An arrangement for labeling a subassembly having first and complimentary parts in which the subassembly labeling includes a label portion of each part. The first part has a first label portion and a window. The complimentary part is connectable with the first part in different spatial orientations to form different subassemblies. The complimentary part has second and third label portions in respective positions such that when the complementary and first parts are connected together in the first spatial orientation to form a first subassembly the second label portion is located behind the window and with the first label portion forms a label for the first subassembly, and such that when the complementary and first parts are connected together in the second spatial orientation to form a second subassembly the third label portion is located behind the window and with the first label portion forms a label for the second subassembly.

  • Patent number: 6006603
    Abstract: Besides the individual modules (1', 1'"), a compressed air maintenance device consisting of individual easily interchangeable modules (1), e.g. pressure regulators, oil atomisers (1'"), condensate separators (1'), in which the individual modules (1) may have emitters (8) for the actual operating status and/or predetermined limit values, also has an indicating and monitoring module (1") having optical and/or acoustic signalling devices (10) for the operational and/or fault status determined for the individual modules (1). Said signalling devices (10) can be easily coupled to the relevant emitters (8) of the modules (1). Any necessary maintenance work or operational breakdowns are thus easily recognizable.
