Abstract: Techniques described herein enable a mobile multifunction device to detect a disposable sensor card at an interface coupled to the mobile multifunction device, wherein the disposable sensor card is mounted inside an opening in the mobile multifunction device, detect analog information associated with the disposable sensor card, and convert analog information to digital information. Detecting analog information comprises detecting a non-transient change in at least a portion of the disposable sensor card, wherein at least a portion of the first disposable sensor card changes form in response to exposure to one or more stimuli from an environment of the first disposable sensor card. A non-transient change may include one or more of changing color, changing shape, changing chemical composition or changing electrical characteristics. Furthermore, the interface may be configured to receive disposable sensor cards with varying sensing capabilities.

Abstract: A method for performing multilink communications may include applying a quality-of-service (QoS) policy to incoming traffic, where the QoS policy operates to identify a first portion and a second portion of the incoming traffic. The method may include fragmenting the first portion of the incoming traffic into a group of fragments. The method may include sequencing the group of fragments and the second portion of the incoming traffic into a sequenced flow, where the sequencing causes the second portion to be interleaved among the group of fragments so that the sequenced flow can be made available to a first link and a second link as multilink traffic, where the first link carries a first portion of the multilink traffic and the second link carries a second portion of the multilink traffic.

Abstract: A function for verifying the behavior of a digital system, where the digital system can exhibit several differing but valid behaviors from the same input. Identical input vectors are applied to both a hardware model and hardware emulator of the digital system via a simulator. Simulating the hardware emulator generates one or more predicted output vectors, while simulating the hardware model produces a single output vector. The output vector of the hardware model is then compared with the one or more predicted output vectors of the hardware emulator. If there is not an output match, an exception is raised. If the output vector of the hardware model matches one of the predicted output vectors of the hardware emulator, a rules checker applies a set of context specific rules defining a valid behavior to the current matching output vector, the internal model state information from the hardware emulator, and a history file of previous output vectors.
