  • Patent number: 8416017
    Abstract: A circuit for reducing noise in Class D amplifiers has a power stage voltage control means (17, 21, 22) responsive to defined signal conditions of the audio signal input (1). The power stage voltage control means is operative to lower the voltage at the supply voltage input (31) of the amplifier's switching power output stage (30) upon the detection of a defined condition in the audio signal input such that the Class-D amplifier operates at reduced voltage (“idles”) during the defined audio input signal condition.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7035646
    Abstract: A mobile station communicates with both a cellular network, by which it is assigned a mobile identification number, and to a cordless cellular base station utilizing the same cellular frequency range and communications protocol. The cordless cellular base station is preferably connected to a public switched telephone network and is assigned a landline number. The cordless cellular base station acts as a conduit between the mobile station and the public switched telephone network. When the mobile station comes within range of a cordless cellular base station, it deregisters automatically from the cellular network and register with the cordless cellular base station. Once the mobile station is communicating with the cordless cellular base station, the cordless cellular base station communicates with the cellular network to instruct the cellular network to route all calls for mobile identification number to the cordless cellular base station's landline number.
