Abstract: A system and method for reducing power consumption in a wireless transmitter is useful for conserving battery power in wireless communication devices. The method includes storing a voice data packet in a buffer operatively coupled to the wireless transmitter (step 310). A power supply of the wireless transmitter is then cycled between a high power level and a low power level (step 315). The voice data packet is then transmitted from the buffer to the wireless transmitter when the power supply of the wireless transmitter is at the high power level (step 320).

Abstract: An optical disc includes a substrate with a hub, a data storage area, and an outer ring. The hub defines a center hole. The data storage area extends radially from the hub body and is thinner than the hub at the thickest hub portion. The outer ring protrudes down from the outer perimeter of the data storage area. Thicknesses of the outer ring and the data storage area are of a same order of magnitude. The outer edge of the optical disc thus includes the data storage area and the outer ring.
