Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to calibrating I/Q mismatches in communication systems. In some implementations, a reference signal to be transmitted by a transmitter (Tx) is identified. A loopback signal corresponding to the reference signal is generated by passing the reference signal through the TX and a receiver (Rx). The loopback signal includes an additional signal that distinguishes an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) mismatch caused by the Tx (Tx I/Q mismatch) from an I/Q mismatch caused by the Rx (RX I/Q mismatch). A set of Tx I/Q mismatch parameters and a set of Rx I/Q mismatch parameters are determined based on the reference signal and the loopback signal, using the additional signal. A Tx signal is calibrated based on the set of Tx I/Q mismatch parameters, while a Rx signal is calibrated based on the set of Rx I/Q mismatch parameters, independently from the calibrating the Tx signal.

Abstract: A mobile information server system is installed on mobile devices. When more than two mobile devices are carried by users, each of the mobile devices sends a geographic position and an IP address to a network location server to be stored and updated by the network location server. The network location server further analyzes the geographic position of each of the mobile devices, and sends the geographic positions and the IP addresses of other mobile devices that are nearby the mobile devices to each of the mobile devices, respectively. And then, the mobile devices obtain and display the information published by the other mobile devices through software protocol to accomplish the function of local business service. The network location server delivers the geographic position and the IP address, but not other information, and each of the mobile devices plays a role of an information server.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a composite molded casing, which comprises a casing body having a mold line and a decorative layer coated on the surface of the casing body to cover the mold line. The present invention exempts the composite molded casing from complicated secondary machining processes (such as processes of grinding and polishing) and thus indirectly reduces the fabrication cost of molds and promotes the yield of products. Further, the present invention uses an IMF technology to fabricate the decorative layer, not only completely covering the mold line but also overcoming the problem of color difference likely to occur in the conventional injection-molded plastic products. Therefore, the present invention can exempt the composite molded casing from complicated post-fabrication processes, such as processes of paint spraying, printing, electroplating, photoelectric engraving, etc.

The data may be image data, such as data words containing color-specific data portions representative of pixels of a captured image. A first data word containing first image data is received. A second data word containing second image data is received. A logical AND of the first data word and the second data word is performed to generate a third data word. A logical exclusive OR (XOR) of the first data word and the second data word is performed to generate a fourth data word. A right shift of the fourth data word is performed. The third data word and the right shifted fourth data word are summed to generate a fifth data word that is an average of the first and second data words.

Abstract: A power converter includes at least one electric control switch, an electric current detecting and converting unit, a power controller, and a voltage detecting and controlling unit at the primary side; and a synchronous rectifying circuit, two MOSFETs, and an oscillating loop. During the actual operation, electric current detecting and converting unit outputs an AC voltage signal to the power controller and outputs a DC voltage signal to the voltage detecting and controlling unit, and then voltage detecting and controlling unit compares with a reference voltage to turn off the synchronous rectifying circuit at the no-load mode and to rectify via a body diodes of the MOSFETs. Accordingly, the power converter can reduce the power wastage at the no-load mode to be energy-saving.
