Abstract: A pullout storage structure for a bathroom cabinet, such as a vanity or medicine cabinet, has a hinge linkage for moving a storage unit between an opened and a closed position such that the storage unit travels an arcuate path and maintains its orientation. Smooth and easy movement of the pullout storage structure is facilitated by an over-center assist member. The assist member tends to close, and keep closed, as well as open, and keep open, the pullout structure.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for effectively and efficiently arbitrating concurrent usage between WLAN and Bluetooth access technologies for co-located wireless devices. A state level arbiter determines state and relevant parameters of a WLAN module and of a Bluetooth module of a wireless transceiver unit. The state level arbiter uses the state and relevant parameters to determine which access technology (WLAN or Bluetooth) or combination of the access technologies (WLAN or Bluetooth) will provide the best concurrent performance for wireless transmissions at a given time for specific Bluetooth states and WLAN states.

Abstract: A bathroom fixture has slide-mounted pullout drawers that extend diagonally forward from its sides. The fixture can be a lavatory with a vanity base in which one or more drawers are slidably mounted. The slide mechanism for each drawer includes a fixed race and telescoping rail supporting the drawer from underneath and another fixed race and telescoping rail mounted between a side wall of the drawer and a vertical support member. Both telescoping slides are mounted diagonally with respect to the front and the associated side of the vanity.

Abstract: An RF transceiver integrated circuit has a novel segmented, low parasitic capacitance, internal loopback conductor usable for conducting IP2 self testing and/or calibration. In a first novel aspect, the transmit mixer of the transceiver is a current mode output mixer. The receive mixer is a passive mixer that has a low input impedance. In the loopback mode, the transmit mixer drives a two tone current signal to the passive mixer via the loopback conductor. In a second novel aspect, only one quadrature branch of the transmit mixer is used to generate both tones required for carrying out an IP2 test. In a third novel aspect, a first calibration test is performed using one quadrature branch of the transmit mixer at the same time that a second calibration test is performed using the other quadrature branch, thereby reducing loopback test time and power consumption.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlling sleep mode in a wireless device are disclosed. The sleep mode is controlled using low power detection of RF beacon signals of known frequencies to reduce power consumption of the wireless device during sleep modes. Detection is achieved by using passive or low power elements in a receive chain that filters received signals allowing beacon signals of particular frequencies to pass, which are accumulated with passive or low power circuit elements requiring no external power source. The accumulated energy is compared to a threshold to determine the presence of the beacon with sleep circuitry. When the beacon is detected, the full RF receiver is triggered to wake up. Use of low power elements and passive elements, affords a beneficial increase in power savings for the wireless device, which is particularly helpful in wireless access points or relay stations that have an alternative power sourcing such as battery or solar power.

Abstract: I/Q gain and phase mismatches of both transmit and receive paths of an OFDM FDD transceiver are simultaneously estimated. An up-converted RF signal is generated when the transmit path performs IQ modulation on a reference signal having a single sideband tone. The up-converted RF signal is sent via a loop-back path to the receive path. A down-converted evaluation signal is generated when the receive path performs IQ demodulation on the up-converted RF signal. The single evaluation signal is used to determine the transmit path gain and phase mismatches and the receive path gain and phase mismatches. The four I/Q mismatches are estimated without using significant hardware nut otherwise used in the regular transmission of data signals. The I/Q mismatches in data signals are corrected by pre-processing the up-converted RF signals and post-processing the down-converted RF signals by adding attenuated components of the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals to each other.

Abstract: A method and a device are proposed for the synchronization of a radio transmitter and a radio receiver, notably for UMTS, while utilizing a Golay correlator, which synchronization should be performed reliably without imposing severe requirements as regards the frequency stability of the local oscillator. To this end, absolute value squaring B1, B2 is performed in the Golay correlator already prior to the last delay stages (D7, D8).

Abstract: A WCDMA enabled user equipment device configured to have functions collectively or selectively idle to conserve power. A discontinuous receiver is used to detect and read network messages and report the messages to the computer within the WCDMA enabled user equipment device. The computer then activates functions previously powered down to receive incoming messages for the user of the device. The discontinuous receiver is also used when the device is active to read network messages, freeing a modem of the device to operate on user messaging; and therefore, enhancing user related performance.

Abstract: Dynamic adjustment of searcher thresholds used to detect propagation paths of a communications signal transmitted from a transmitter to the base band receiver. Interference signal code power (ISCP) measurements of the communications signal are obtained from a database communicatively coupled with the base band receiver, wherein contents of the database are associated with a physical layer. A scaler is calculated based on the ISCP measurements only. The searcher thresholds, which are stored in the database, are adjusted using the scaler. The adjusted searcher thresholds are then stored in the database.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (D) and an associated method for the synchronization of a DS-CDMA receiver with a synchronization code being sent periodically and discontinuously by a DS-CDMA transmitter. Said device (D) comprises partial correlation calculation means (PC) for applying partial correlation to the received sequence of data and for providing output correlation signals, transform computation means (FFT8) with half inputs being zeros for applying a transform to said output correlation signals and for providing complex output signals, a square absolute value circuit (SQUARE) for calculating the square of absolute values of said complex output signals, slot-wise non-coherent integration means (INT) for applying a non-coherent integration to said square absolute values, and, selecting means (SELMAX) for selecting a maximum from the integrated values. Thus, with the maximum selected, a slot timing and a frequency offset estimate are determined for the synchronization.

In a preferred version the cover is adapted to be raised and lowered over the bottom panel. When raised, the cover exposes a rigid mirror support pivotably secured to the underside of the cover. The mirror support preferably contains a mirror pivotably secured to the mirror support. The mirror support is movably supported by bearings positioned on each side wall. In use, the mirror is pivotable to different angular positions with respect to the mirror support. Further, the mirror support itself is pivotable to different angular positions with respect to the cover.

Abstract: Calculating of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of a mobile device in a wireless communication system. A communication signal transmitted by the mobile device is non-coherently processed. Interference power of the communication signal is estimated and then scaled, and the scaled estimated interference power is subtracted from the processed communication signal to thereby estimate signal power. The SIR is calculated by dividing the estimated signal power by the estimated interference power.
