Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for a blister package are disclosed. An example blister package includes a cavity and a lid having both an open position to provide access to the cavity and a closed position to restrict access to the cavity. The blister package also includes a sensing circuit disposed at a first location on the blister package. The sensing circuit detects when the lid on the cavity is in the open position, exhibits a first output state when the lid on the cavity is in the open position. The blister package also includes a processor disposed at a second location on the blister package. The processor is in communication with the sensing circuit and generates a signal indicating the cavity has been accessed when the sensing circuit exhibits the first output state.

Abstract: A method includes, in a mobile communication terminal that is powered by a DC-DC converter and is operated by a user in accordance with multiple possible usage scenarios, predefining for each of the possible usage scenarios a repective set of one or more parameters of operation for the DC-DC converter. When the user operates the terminal in accordance with a given usage scenario from among the possible usage scenarios, the predefined set of parameters of operation corresponding to the given usage scenario is selected, without physically sensing an electrical current drawn by the DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter is configured to supply electrical power to the terminal using the selected parameters of operation.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for controlling user equipment (UE) to improve user experience. The method includes sensing an environmental condition using a sensor associated with the UE, and governing a communication functionality of the UE based on the sensed environmental condition.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method comprising providing 2-D or 3-D graphics content to a graphics processing module; processing the graphics content to generate a stream of images (e.g., three dimensional images and/or two dimensional images) for display, the stream having a frame rate; and governing a rate of processing the graphics content to limit the frame rate of the generated stream of images to be less than or equal to a frame rate threshold. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

Abstract: A method includes, in a mobile communication terminal that is powered by a DC-DC converter and is operated by a user in accordance with multiple possible usage scenarios, determining a usage scenario according to which the terminal currently operates. One or more parameters of operation for the DC-DC converter are derived from the usage scenario. The DC-DC converter is configured to supply electrical power to the terminal using the derived parameters of operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying an estimated location of a mobile device. A first wireless communication signal of a first type is received, and a second wireless communication signal of a second type is received, the second type differing from the first type. A first candidate location of the mobile device and a first accuracy metric are determined based on the first wireless communication signal, and a second candidate location of the mobile device and a second accuracy metric are determined based on the second wireless communication signal. An estimated location of the mobile device is determined based on the first candidate location, the first accuracy metric, the second candidate location, and the second accuracy metric.
