Abstract: In an example, a method includes determining, at a host device, a power state of a digital input/output device, and transmitting a clock signal having a first frequency from the host device to the input/output device responsive to a determination that the input/output device is in a lower power state. The method also includes determining, at the host device, that the input/output device has transitioned into a higher power state, and transmitting a clock signal having a second frequency from the host device to the input/output device responsive to a determination that the input/output device has transitioned into the higher power state. The first frequency is lower than the second frequency.

Abstract: A power management device of a wireless communication assembly receives respective signals indicative of respective voltage supply levels required by respective hardware devices among a plurality of hardware devices of the wireless communication assembly, where the respective required voltage supply levels vary over time. The power management device selects a voltage supply level corresponding to a maximum voltage supply level indicated by the respective received signals, adjusts, based on the selected supply voltage level, a supply voltage supplied to the wireless communication assembly so that the selected voltage supply level is supplied to all of the hardware devices of the wireless communication assembly.

Abstract: In a method for dynamically adjusting power consumption of a wireless assembly in a communication device a first signal indicative of activity of a first wireless interface unit and a second signal indicative of activity of a second wireless interface unit are received at a dynamic power management unit. The first wireless interface unit configured to operate according to a first communication protocol. The second wireless interface unit configured to operate according to a second communication protocol. The second communication protocol is different than the first communication protocol. A supply voltage level needed to support the activity of the first wireless interface unit and the activity second wireless interface unit is supported based on the first signal and the second signal. A supply voltage supplied to the wireless assembly is adjusted based on the supply voltage level.

Abstract: In a method for controlling a wireless device assembly coupled to a host assembly, a clock signal is received at the wireless device assembly from the host assembly. The clock signal is supplied to an interface module in the wireless device assembly during a power save mode of the wireless device assembly and is used to operate the interface module. An initialization command is received at the wireless device assembly from the host assembly and is detected with the interface module. In response to detecting the initialization command, at least a portion of the wireless device assembly, other than the interface module, is activated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a memory controller comprising a front-end module, a back-end module communicatively coupled to the front-end module, and a physical interface module communicatively coupled to the back-end module. The front-end module generates a plurality of page packets from a plurality of received memory commands, wherein the order of receipt of said memory commands is preserved. The back-end module dynamically issues a next one of the plurality of page packets while issuing a current one of the plurality of page packets. The physical interface module causes a plurality of transfers according to the dynamically issued current one and next one of the plurality of page packets.

Abstract: A telescopic extension jib for crane booms increases the reach of the boom and therefore increases the utility of the construction crane. To facilitate manual extension and retraction of the movable jib section relative to the fixed base section, a system of rollers is employed between the relatively movable jib sections. In the socketing area of the jib at full jib extension, upper and lower rollers are spring-mounted and can bear the dead weight of the movable jib section when the same is unloaded. Coacting bearing pads engage the top and bottom faces of the movable jib section under loading to distribute stresses over larger areas, the spring-mounted rollers retracting automatically to enable the movable jib section to engage the bearing pads in the socketing area. A locating pin is provided to lock the jib sections against accidental relative movement in both the extended and retracted positions of the jib.
