  • Patent number: 11050453
    Abstract: A holder for holding a mobile device may include a back plate. A strut is operatively associated with the back plate so that the strut can be moved with respect to the back plate. A strut lock operatively associated with the back plate and the strut holds the back plate and strut in a desired position. A first jaw operatively associated with the back plate is sized to engage a portion of the mobile device. A second jaw sized to engage a portion of the mobile device is operatively associated with the back plate so that the second jaw can be moved toward and away from the first jaw to hold a mobile device therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20040078692
    Abstract: Methods for automating the process of testing software applications in multiple operating environments are provided. These methods broadly provide for making a stored image of an operating environment operable on a computer system, installing a software application in that operating environment, and executing tests on the application. These steps are executed on the computer system without human intervention once the testing process is initiated. The steps are repeated, without the need for human intervention, if the application is to be tested in more than one operating environment.

  • Patent number: 6658578
    Abstract: A processor (100) is provided that is a programmable fixed point digital signal processor (DSP) with variable instruction length, offering both high code density and easy programming. Architecture and instruction set are optimized for low power consumption and high efficiency execution of DSP algorithms, such as for wireless telephones, as well as pure control tasks. The processor includes an instruction buffer unit (106), a program flow control unit (108), an address/data flow unit (110), a data computation unit (112), and multiple interconnecting busses. Dual multiply-accumulate blocks improve processing performance. A memory interface unit (104) provides parallel access to data and instruction memories. The instruction buffer is operable to buffer single and compound instructions pending execution thereof. A decode mechanism is configured to decode instructions from the instruction buffer. The use of compound instructions enables effective use of the bandwidth available within the processor.

  • Patent number: 6598151
    Abstract: A processor (100) is provided that is a programmable digital signal processor (DSP) with variable instruction length. A user stack region (910) is used to pass variables to a subroutine and to hold values representative of a first portion of a program counter (1000). A system stack region (911) is used to hold values representative of a remaining portion of the program counter (1001) and to hold additional context information. The user stack region and the system stack region are managed independently so that software from a prior generation processor can be translated to run on processor (100).
