Patent number: 9269994Abstract: Systems and methods to detect particular levels of remaining battery capacities. A ratio of changes in battery output voltage over changes in battery capacity (?V/?C) is calculated. Detected rises in the value of this ratio are used to detect that a battery has a remaining capacity level that is near depletion. In a certain temperature range, the ?V/?C ratio is used to provide an indication that the battery is approaching a low remaining capacity state. In another temperature range, an increase in the ?V/?C ratio indicates that the battery has reached a mid-range remaining capacity level.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Joseph Patino, Marco Pulido

Patent number: 8045721Abstract: A method (200) for improving quality of output audio (126). The method can include detecting an output acoustic signal (128) and generating a receive audio signal (134) based, at least in part, on the detected output acoustic signal. A frequency domain representation (140) of the receive audio signal can be compared to a frequency domain representation (138) of a source audio signal (124) from which the output acoustic signal is generated. At least one distortion signal (142) in the receive audio signal can be identified, and the source audio signal can be selectively equalized to reduce an amplitude of the source audio signal at a frequency that correlates to the distortion signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: John M. Burgan, Jose E. Korneluk, Glenn R. Nelson, Marco Pulido

Patent number: 7626365Abstract: The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for charging a battery (110). The method includes the steps of receiving (212) an input power supply signal (300), monitoring (216) the input power supply signal to determine when the input power supply signal reaches first and second predetermined thresholds (314, 316) and in response to the monitoring step, selectively controlling (217) a charging switch (122) that controls the flow of the input power supply signal to the battery. The controlling step can include activating (220) the charging switch when the input power supply signal reaches the first predetermined threshold and deactivating (226) the switch when the input power supply signal reaches the second predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2003Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Motorola Inc.Inventors: Joseph Patino, Marco Pulido, Russell L. Simpson

Patent number: 7499733Abstract: A mobile communication device (100) includes a volatile memory (110) and a non-volatile memory (112). Instruction code for operating the mobile communication device is permanently stored in the non-volatile memory, and copied to the volatile memory for execution. The mobile communication device enters a hibernate mode which involves shutting down most of the mobile communication device except power to the volatile memory, which allows a nearly instant apparent start up of the mobile communication device at a later time.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: John M. Burgan, Joseph Patino, Marco Pulido

Publication number: 20080111522Abstract: A method and system for charging an electronic device (104) is provided. The method includes negotiating a first current supply (304) from a first charging port. The first charging port is one of a plurality of charging ports (106, 108, 110, 112 and 114) present on a current-supplying device (102). Further, the method includes negotiating a second current supply (306) from a second charging port, the second charging port is one of the plurality of charging ports (106, 108, 110, 112 and 114). Furthermore, the method includes combining the first current supply and the second current supply (308) to provide a combined current supply for charging the battery of the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Russell L. Simpson, John M. Burgan, Joseph Patino, Marco Pulido

Publication number: 20080109587Abstract: A device (100) that includes a communications port (130), a first processor (135), at least a second processor (140), and a multiplexer (105). The multiplexer can selectively communicatively link the communications port to the first processor or the second processor. The multiplexer can include at least one switch (110, 115) and a switch controller (120) that controls operation of the switch. The switch controller can be responsive to at least one control signal (125) generated by the first processor. The first processor can generate the control signal in response to a command received from an external device (155) connected to the communications port. The command can be an attention command or a test software command. The switch controller also can be responsive to at least one control signal generated by the second processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2006Publication date: May 8, 2008Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: Philip Paul P. Greenhalgh, Aaron T. Applegate, Miriam Y. Avello, Ashley James Lawrie, Taw Lim, Nikhil Mhatre, Joseph Patino, Robert H. Pichette, Marco Pulido, Jose F. Rodriguez, Stefan Petkov P. Stefanov, James R.

Publication number: 20080081623Abstract: A method (400) for allocating handoff of mobile stations (105, 110) to a first network node (115). The method can include receiving a handoff request for a first mobile station. Handoff of the first mobile station can be granted in response to determining that the first mobile station has an effective level of battery charge equal to or below a threshold value. Handoff of the first mobile station can be denied in response to determining that the first mobile station has an effective level of battery charge greater than the threshold value. The method also can include receiving status information (130) communicated by the first mobile station. The status information can indicate an effective battery level of the first mobile station. In another arrangement, the status information can indicate a handoff priority level of the first mobile station.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2006Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: John M. Burgan, William E. Ceres, Donald R. Dale, Joseph Patino, Marco Pulido, Russell L. Simpson
