Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna, a receiver, and baseband circuitry coupled to the receiver over a digital interface. The receiver may receive radio-frequency signals using the antenna and may generate digital in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) samples from the radio-frequency signals. The I/Q samples may have a bit width and may be transmitted to the baseband circuitry over the digital interface. The baseband circuitry may evaluate a radio condition of the receiver based on the I/Q samples. The baseband circuitry may adjust the bit width of the I/Q samples based on the radio condition. For example, the baseband circuitry may decrease the bit width when wireless performance metric data falls below a threshold and/or may increase the bit width when the wireless performance metric data exceeds a threshold. This may minimize power consumed by the digital interface without sacrificing wireless performance.

Abstract: A holding frame is to be arranged behind a vehicle window, and is to receive and hold a sensor device. The holding frame has guideways to receive and guide holding elements of the sensor device, and devices to produce a force on the sensor device substantially in a direction along the guideways. The combination of the holding frame and the sensor device forms a sensor arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a holding frame (1) for arrangement behind a vehicle window (9) and for receiving a sensor device (8), and a sensor arrangement (14) comprising a holding frame (1) and a sensor device (8).

Abstract: A method and system for managing access to add-on data files having an add-on data file attribute, which is used by a software application. The method: monitors input/output commands of the software application to an application programming interface of a code layer to determine whether an access to a data file with the add-on data file attribute is requested by the software application; checks whether an access code for the add-on data file is present in an access code list related to the software application if at least one of the monitored input/output commands request access to the add-on data file, if the access code is not present in the access control list; retrieves the access code from an external source outside of the access control list; and provides access to the add-on data file if the access code is present.

Abstract: A method for managing access to add-on data files (4) having an add-on data file attribute, which is used by a software application (1), is presented, comprising the steps of: monitoring input/output commands of said software application to an application programming interface (API) of code layer (S1) to determine whether an access to a data file with said add-on data file attribute is requested by said software application (S2); checking whether an access code for said add-on data file (4) is present in an access code list related to said software application if at least one of the monitored input/output commands request access to said add-on data file (S3), if said access code is not present in said access control list, retrieving said access code from an external source outside of said access control list (S4); providing access to said add-on data file (4) (S5) if said access code is present. A corresponding system is presented as well.

Abstract: Stiff and soft materials each provide certain advantages when used in the manufacture of separable insulated connectors, such as elbow and T-body connectors. Utilizing a shell or an insert that includes one section made from a stiff material and one section made from a soft material can provide a separable insulated connector that capitalizes on the advantages associated with both types of materials. The stiff materials and soft materials can be placed strategically on the shell or insert of the separable insulated connector to maximize the advantages of each material. For example, the stiff material can be used to form a section of the separable insulated connector where strength and durability is most desirable, and conversely, the soft material can be used to form a section of the connector where flexibility is desirable. A relatively stiff band can be provided around a relatively soft portion of a connector.

Abstract: An apparatus for improved shock and vibration isolation of a CGA integrated package which utilizes solder column grid arrays to provide electrical connection to a printed circuit board. The CGA integrated package includes a substrate and a package lid. A support frame is attached at an attachment point to the substrate or the package lid of the CGA integrated package and at a second attachment point to the printed circuit board. An isolation material, such as Styrofoam or Sorbathane is located at the attachment point of the support frame to the substrate or the package lid, or located at the second attachment point of the support frame to the circuit board such that a vibration or shock to the circuit board must travel through the isolation material at the attachment point prior to reaching the integrated circuit. A method of supporting an integrated circuit on a circuit board and improving the isolation of an integrated circuit from any vibration and shock to the circuit board is also provided.
