Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) that provides a local oscillator signal for a radio. An oscillator of the PLL supplies an oscillator output signal. Control logic receives a request to change the oscillator output signal to a new frequency and responds to the request by setting a first capacitor circuit of the oscillator to a first capacitance that corresponds to a predetermined frequency of the oscillator output signal. The control logic also responds to the request by setting one or more other capacitor circuits of the oscillator according to temperature and according to a frequency difference between the predetermined frequency and the new frequency. After responding to the request by setting the first capacitor circuit and the one or more other capacitor circuits, the PLL locks to the new frequency using a signal from the PLL loop filter to adjust another capacitor circuit in the oscillator.

Abstract: The method includes providing a filler material that is water insoluble, the providing provides the filler material with more than 98% alpha-cellulose, 0.01% to less than 2% ash and a remainder hemicellulose, infusing at least one first consumable within the filler material and inserting a matrix within at least one first containing structure to form a capsule, the matrix including the filler material.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards a method, computer program, computer program product and a traffic amplification device (30) for assisting in the testing of performance of a layer 3 proxy device (12) as well as a testing system comprising such a traffic amplification device. The traffic amplification device (30) obtains a first message (M1) from at least one client devices (14) and intended for a server device (22), where the first message comprises a request for processing, sends a plurality of second messages (M2) to the proxy device (12) in a number corresponding to a desired degree of traffic amplification, where each second message comprises the request for processing, receives the second messages in return from the proxy device (12), selects one of the received second messages, and forwards (FM1) the request for processing of the selected second message to the server device (22) for being processed. It is also possible to handle responses (M3) from the server device in a similar manner.

Abstract: A data call between at least two internetworked computers is established using a central server. Once the data call is in place, prerecorded motion video is shared between the two computers by creating a streaming video server on one user's computer for streaming the prerecorded motion video simultaneously to both users as clients of the streaming server. Either user can pause, rewind, or fast forward the streamed video as it is viewed by both users.
