Abstract: A method (300) and apparatus (100) for transferring media data between devices is disclosed. The method may include receiving (320) media data transfer protocol data and splitting (330) the media data transfer protocol data into media data transfer protocol control data and a media data transfer protocol bulk data. The method may also include transferring (340) the media data transfer protocol control data over a first channel to a media data transfer protocol data synchronization application and transferring (350) the media data transfer protocol bulk data over a second channel substantially directly to memory (170) substantially simultaneously with transferring the media data transfer protocol control data over the first channel.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (200) and method (300) for improving a browsing experience. The method (300) can include: monitoring (310) a user activity in a wireless communication device; providing (320) a program that correlates user activity and the need to access the internet; and pre-activating (330) an internet link, based on the monitored user activity and the program. Advantageously, the pre-activating (330) feature can decrease the time it takes to complete a wireless network connection, thus minimizing wait time. This feature is particularly useful in low and marginal coverage areas.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for a server remote to a mobile communication device are disclosed. The methods, systems, and devices process an audio sample of the mobile communication device and then provide a decoded audio sample to the mobile communication device. In one embodiment of a method of a server and a remote communication device, the method of the server includes receiving an audio sample from a remote communication device, applying a speech recognition algorithm to the audio sample to generate a decoded audio sample, generating the decoded audio sample and generating a training sequence to program the remote communication device to recognize another audio sample substantially similar to the audio sample.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and a circuit for indicating data transfer rate in a data transfer transaction in place of indicating the wireless link quality. At another time, the mobile communication device may indicate a quality of a wireless link 202. Upon initiation of the wireless transfer of data 204, the method includes determining the transfer data rate throughput value 210 and annunciating the transfer data rate throughput value 212. The data will be transferred in some data transfer units (for example, bits, bytes or packets) and therefore the data transfer rate in the data transfer units is annunciated to the user in place of indicating the wireless link quality.

Abstract: An engine or like apparatus includes a linear-to-rotational motion converting mechanism which emulates an elliptic trammel or ellipsogragh linkage. The apparatus includes at least one cylinder disposed along a first axis and a piston reciprocable in the at least one cylinder along the first axis. Also included is an orbital crankshaft having a piston crank and an orbital shaft, the piston crank having a first end journaled to the piston and a second end, the second end being secured to the orbital shaft, the orbital shaft extending along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. An output crank has a first end and a second end, the first end of the output crank being journaled to the orbital shaft. An output shaft is secured to the second end of the output crank, the output shaft being rotatable at an angular velocity about a third axis parallel with the second axis and perpendicular to and intersecting the first axis.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine or like apparatus is disclosed utilizing an "ellipsograph" mechanism for converting the reciprocating motion of one or more pistons into rotational motion of an output element. The apparatus includes an orbital crankshaft coupled to the pistons by connecting rods and linear slide mechanisms and providing power to an output shaft through one or more crank and gear assemblies. Counterweights on the orbital crankshaft and crank and gear assemblies compensate for inertial forces and unbalancing moments.
