Abstract: Embodiments include in response to monitoring a processor during operation, detecting a first number of throttling amounts in the processor, determining that the first number of throttling amounts fulfills a first condition regarding a throttling amounts threshold, and modifying a voltage level of the processor by a first amount. Embodiments include in response to modifying the voltage level of the processor by the first amount, detecting a second number of throttling amounts in the processor, determining that the second number of throttling amounts fulfills a second condition regarding the throttling amounts threshold, and modifying the voltage level of the processor by a second amount.

Abstract: Providing signal-to-noise ratio information to a local transmitter node. A method includes receiving data in a signal transmitted on a data channel from the local transmitter node. A first signal-to-total-power ratio for the signal assuming no jamming of the signal is occurring is computed. A second signal-to-total-power ratio for the signal with factors included assuming jamming is occurring is computed. The first signal-to-total-power ratio to the second signal-to-total-power ratio are compared to determine if they differ by a predetermined amount. The method includes determining that the predetermined amount is exceeded, and as a result, a jammed signal-to-noise ratio is computed assuming jamming is occurring. The jammed signal-to-noise ratio is sent to the local transmitter node to allow the local transmitter to respond to the jammed signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract: Containers for holding and dispensing a plurality of items and methods of assembling the same are disclosed. The containers include a sidewall having an aperture therein, a bottom, and an interior flow control guide to force the items through a rearward restricted passage as the items move within the container downward toward the bottom and forward toward the aperture in the sidewall. A plurality of items are simultaneously accessible through the aperture.

Abstract: Shelving assemblies and methods of use of the same are disclosed. The shelving assemblies include at least a pair of side units having protrusions that extend therefrom and that are received in receptacles on a plurality of shelves.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing high-quality, synchronized audio/video playback on Blackberry™-type portable electronic devices lacking native video support. Synchronization intervals are determined whereby to instantiate frame rate control signals for processing and synchronizing data in the form of stored images and audio to generate the synchronized audio/video playback.
