  • Patent number: 8965441
    Abstract: A user device receives a command to transmit information over a first wireless connection and an additional command to transmit additional information over a second wireless connection. The user device identifies the first wireless connection as being a lower priority connection than the second wireless connection. The user device then throttles a transmit power level for the lower priority connection.

  • Patent number: 8934937
    Abstract: A user device transmits data at a first transmit power level. The user device detects a presence of a human body part within a predetermined distance from an antenna of the user device using one or more sensors disposed at a back side of the user device. In response to the detection of the presence of the human body part, the user device transmits information at a second transmit power level that is less than the first transmit power level.

  • Publication number: 20140350710
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for managing inventory as it transitions into a materials handling facility, as it transitions between locations within a materials handling facility and/or as it transitions out of a materials handling facility. In some instances, a user (e.g., picker or picking agent) may retrieve an item from an inventory location and place the item into a tote. The systems described herein detect the item when it is added to or removed from the tote.

  • Publication number: 20140351077
    Abstract: A method for customizing a device during order fulfillment is described. A processing device receives an order for an electronic device, the order comprising customization information that is stored in a memory. The processing device wirelessly transmits the customization information into an electronic tag embedded in the electronic device while the electronic device is enclosed in associated packaging.

  • Publication number: 20140329552
    Abstract: A user device receives a command to transmit information at a transmit power level specified by a wireless carrier. The user device determines whether transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level using a first duty cycle will cause the user device to violate a condition. Responsive to determining that transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level using the first duty cycle will cause the user device to violate the condition, the user device determines a new duty cycle that is lower than the first duty cycle, and transmits the information using the new duty cycle.

  • Patent number: 8792930
    Abstract: A user device receives a command to transmit information at a transmit power level specified by a wireless carrier. The user device makes a determination as to whether transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level will cause the user device to violate a condition. When it is determined that transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level will cause the user device to violate the condition, the user device dynamically computes a new transmit power level that is lower than the specified transmit power level. The user device then transmits the information at the new transmit power level.
