Abstract: A calendar system incorporates information from publication sources for display as information events on a calendar of the calendar system. A respective user of the calendar system may subscribe to an identified publication source that is internal or external to the calendar system. The calendar system determines whether data from the identified publication source conforms with a predefined calendar data exchange format. If data from the identified publication source conforms with the predefined calendar data exchange format, the calendar system may import data from the publication source and transmit the data (including data for at least one information event) to at least one client for rendering of the calendar system. If data from the identified publication source fails to conform with the predefined calendar data exchange format, the calendar system may re-format the data to conform to a calendar data exchange format that is compatible with the calendar system.

An exemplary method comprises: first determining whether the terminal is handling D2D traffic; second determining whether a human body is located either less than or equal to a predetermined distance from the terminal; third determining whether the terminal is receiving power from an external power source; and fourth determining whether to continue handling D2D traffic based on at least one of the second and third determining steps.

Abstract: An antenna swapping method may include tuning respective signals provided to first and second antennas in a portable electronic device to at least one frequency band. The method may also include connecting the first antenna to an uplink signal path that is for transmissions through the first and second antennas, and performing impedance matching for the first antenna. The method may further include comparing a real-time performance characteristic of the first antenna with a real-time performance characteristic of the second antenna. The method may additionally include, responsive to determining that the second antenna has a stronger real-time performance characteristic than the first antenna while the first antenna is connected to the uplink signal path, swapping from the first antenna to the second antenna by connecting the second antenna to the uplink signal path and disconnecting the first antenna from the uplink signal path, and performing impedance matching for the second antenna.

The terminals are accommodated by respective contact areas, such as holes, in the circuit board and are advantageously resilient. In this way, mis-alignment between the substrate and the circuit board is compensated, reducing the risk of antenna frequency offset.
