Abstract: An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing, and a control component and communication interface contained within the housing. The control component is configured to control operation of at least one functional element of the aerosol delivery device based on a detected flow of air through at least a portion of the housing. The communication interface coupled to the control component and configured to enable wireless communication. The communication interface including an antenna, and the housing and antenna are being electrically resonant and tightly coupled in a manner that forms dipole antenna.

Abstract: A mobile station includes an adjustable member for increasing a separation distance between an audio signal output device and an electronic circuit to reduce EMI proximate the audio signal output device caused by the electronic circuit. In one embodiment, the adjustable member comprises a slide member that extends at least a portion of the audio signal output device away from the electronic circuit to increase the separation distance. In another embodiment, the adjustable member comprises a pivot member that rotates the electronic circuit (or audio signal output device) away from the audio signal output device (or electronic circuit) to increase the separation distance. In any event, increasing the separation distance between the audio signal output device and the electronic circuit decreases the EMI proximate the audio signal output device, and therefore EMI effects on external circuits proximate the mobile station, such as a hearing aid.

Abstract: An information circuit for an input/output pin limited device includes an input/output pin, a first circuit path, and a second circuit path. The first circuit path is responsive to a first excitation on the input/output pin, wherein the first circuit path includes a first component device responsive to a first characteristic of the input/output pin limited device. The second circuit path is responsive to a second excitation on the input/output pin, wherein the second circuit path includes a second component device responsive to a second characteristic of the input/output pin limited device.

Abstract: A method and multicoupler for a receiver at a base station in a cellular/PCS radio communication system includes a cooled container that is mounted on an antenna tower at the base station. The container is mounted on the antenna tower adjacent an antenna and contains thereinside a preselector filter, a highly linear amplifier, and a directional coupler that are cooled to a temperature less than 175.degree. K. and greater than 100.degree. K. A power splitter is connected between the output from the container and the radio system receiver, and is located at a ground station near the base of the antenna tower. Cooling the components inside the container, particularly the amplifier, to a temperature of about 150.degree. K. reduces the noise from the multicoupler so that base station range is extended, building penetration is improved, and subscriber transmit power may be reduced.
