Abstract: System (10) is disclosed including an acoustic sensor array (20) coupled to processor (42). System (10) processes inputs from array (20) to extract a desired acoustic signal through the suppression of interfering signals. The extraction/suppression is performed by modifying the array (20) inputs in the frequency domain with weights selected to minimize variance of the resulting output signal while maintaining unity gain of signals received in the direction of the desired acoustic signal. System (10) may be utilized in hearing aids, voice input devices, surveillance devices, and other applications.

Abstract: A data processing system (30) includes two processors (70, 80) and a serial data controller (36) for selectively multiplexing serial data signals between one or more of a plurality of serial data devices (40, 42, 44, 46, 74, 76, 82) The serial data controller (36) includes one or more host ports (50, 52, 54) and one or more peripheral ports (56, 58, 60, 62) coupled together through a switching matrix (64). A control circuit (66) and a plurality of control registers (68) are used to configure and control a serial data path created between two or more ports including clock and frame synchronization timing of the data path.

Abstract: A cellular mobile station including a modem processor and memory. The memory includes instructions for the modem processor to perform layer 1 processor operations, layer 2 processor operations, and layer 3 processor operations. The modem processor executes the instructions to perform processor operations for the cellular mobile station to communication data as per a cellular communications protocol.
