Abstract: An apparatus and method for informing a monitored internal system status of an electronic device using a screen saver program is disclosed. When the screen saver program is activated (704), a virtual analog clock (706, 106) having a time-varying visual attribute (108, 110, 112) is displayed. The time-varying visual attribute is varied to indicate the status of the monitored internal system status during the time the screen saver program is active.

Abstract: A decoder that provides partial interference cancellation in a multiple user signal includes a turbo decoder (150) that generates hard decisions of both the information and parity bits of each user signal. A multiple access interference generator (110) inputs the hard decision values along with calculated correlation coefficients between users to iteratively calculate a partial interference correction signal, which is weighted and fed back (160) to the next input of the signal before being input to the turbo decoder (150) so as to minimize the multi-user interference.

Abstract: A decoder equalizes a turbo coded signal with intersymbol interference by performing a decision-feedback equalization in each iteration of the turbo decoding process. In such iteration process, two recursion processors calculate soft output values for the information bits and the coded bits of the signal as well. Hard output values are derived from the soft output values. A decision feedback equalizer in an iterative loop of the decoder receives the hard output values uses these to provide a correction for the intersymbol interference. Thereafter, the decision feedback signal applies the correction signal to the input signal to minimize the intersymbol interference.
