Patent number: 10409311Abstract: Apparatus embodiments of the invention are disclosed for requesting power via a wired interface. In example embodiments, a pull-down circuit in the apparatus acting as a power consumer when there is no energy in the apparatus, is connected via a configuration line over a cable to a power provider device. The apparatus may be in a power down mode, it may have an empty battery, or it may have no battery. The pull-down circuit is configured to use energy from the configuration line to pull down a voltage on the configuration line, to signal the power provider device to provide power over another line of the cable to the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Pekka Leinonen, Kai Inha, Pekka Talmola, Timo Toivola, Teemu Helenius, Seppo Jarvensivu, Kristian Vaajala, Tino Hellberg

Patent number: 8086885Abstract: An apparatus includes a hardware unit having an interface to a clock generator, an interface to a power supply and an interface to a software unit. The interface to the software unit is configurable to receive a request from the software unit that identifies at least one operating point for the apparatus. The hardware unit is operable to control at least one of the clock generator and the power supply so as to achieve the requested operating point.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Kristian Vaajala

Patent number: 6895256Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a lens/filter combination, a single-chip camera module and an integrated mobile terminal processor. The lens/filter combination responds to an image, for providing an optical image signal. The single-chip camera module responds to the optical image signal, and to an integrated mobile terminal processor control signal, for performing analog image processing functions (such as correlated double sampling (CDS) and automatic gain control (AGC)) before an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), basic sensor driving and adjustment functions (such as pixel access, timing and basic automatic exposure control), and digital input/output (I/O) functions, and providing a sensor data output signal and a single-chip camera module control bus signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2000Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Esa Härmä , Kristian Vaajala

Publication number: 20020158908Abstract: Graphical information having a full extent not displayable at once on a low-resolution display of a hand-held electronic device is displayed over a limited extent thereof at a variable resolution less than or equal to the highest resolution inherently available within the graphical information. The varying portion of the full image to be displayed is selected by a user windowing signal actuated by a user input device such as a button, roller, joystick or by simply moving the hand-held electronic device in space and having that movement sensed by a sensor such as an accelerometer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2001Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventors: Kristian Vaajala, Jari Suutari, Antti Takaluoma, Jukka-Pekka Inkinen, Sten Carlsen, Ilkka Kuuluvainen
