Abstract: The invention enables digital music content to be downloaded to and used on a portable wireless computing device. An application running on the wireless device has been automatically adapted to parameters associated with the wireless device without end-user input (e.g. the application has been configured in dependence on the device OS and firmware, related bugs, screen size, pixel number, security models, connection handling, memory etc. This application enables an end-user to browse and search music content on a remote server using a wireless network; to download music content from that remote server using the wireless network and to playback and manage that downloaded music content. The application also includes a digital rights management system that enables unlimited legal downloads of different music tracks to the device and also enables any of those tracks stored on the device to be played so long as a subscription service has not terminated.

Abstract: An integrated circuit provides a semiconductor die with I/O bond pads, a power bond pad, and a circuit ground pad. Each I/O bond pad is associated with an input circuit that has an input circuit output lead. Sets of digital logic functional circuitry on the die provide different digital logic functions. Each function includes logic input leads and logic output leads. Output circuits each have an output circuit in lead and an output circuit out lead. Strapping structures, such as vias, formed in the semiconductor die electrically couple input circuits to a selected set of digital logic functions and the selected set of digital logic functions to output circuit in leads. Upper level metal conductors couple output circuit out leads and selected I/O bond pads.

Abstract: An LED driver with ability to operate at low input voltages is disclosed. The LED driver comprises a boost converter to boost an input voltage to a desired output voltage to power one or more LED strings. The boost converter incorporates a first controllable switch, such as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), IGBT, etc., for output voltage control. The boost converter receives input from an external source, such as a battery voltage, as power source for voltage boost operation. The first controllable switch couples to a gate driver powered by a linear regulator, which switchably couples to different voltage sources via a second switch to ensure that the gate driver is able to provide enough voltage for switching the first controllable switch.

Abstract: The derail warning system may include a solar-powered LED indicator for derail or switch. The derail warning system may also include an orientation sensor that automatically turns on depending on the orientation of the derail (up or down), derail metal flag, or switch indicator flag. The derail warning system may bring more visibility with a 360-degree LED that is solar powered and may detect orientation and turn on based on the position of the derail, switch, or flag. The derail warning system may use a unique acceleration sensor or g-sensor that can detect orientation movement and automatically turn on or off and be fully charged to operate day or night. The derail warning system may also include a data-logging microprocessor to determine a time stamp of position and location.
