Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided, the method includes retrieving tasks from a memory, each task associated with a non-temporal attribute; and displaying the tasks in a group or list relative to the non-temporal attribute.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communications, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for generating local oscillator signals used for up- and down-conversion of RF (radio frequency) signals. A major problem in the design of modulators and demodulators, if the leakage of local oscillator (LO) signals into the received signal path. The invention presents a number of highly integratable circuits which resolve the LO leakage problem, using regenerative divider circuits acting on oscillator signals which are running at a multiple or fraction of the frequency of the desired LO signal, to generate in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) mixing signals. Embodiments of these circuits also use harmonic subtraction and polyphase mixers, as well as virtual local oscillator TM (VLO) mixing signals. VLO mixing signals are signal pairs which emulate local oscillator signals by means of complementary mono-tonal and multi-tonal mixing signals.

Abstract: A transceiver interface architecture where the same RF transceiver can be used in wireless devices that support any number of standards, with or without receive diversity implementation. Each input port of the RF transceiver can be shared by a number of input signals, which effectively expands the number of available input ports. Input port sharing can be realized with virtual ports that receive two or more input signals and selectively pass one signal to the physical input port. The use of virtual ports allows for flexible wireless design implementations using the same RF transceiver, and in particular, for receive diversity implementations that inherently require dedicated input ports. The use of low cost and small area virtual ports obviates the need for larger and more costly RF receivers.
