  • Publication number: 20050186923
    Abstract: A power management system and method for a wireless communication device generates an average desired transmit power signal based on at least one of a received signal strength indicator signal and a power control instruction signal from a base station. A power supply level adjustment signal is generated based on the data parameters of an outgoing data stream and at least one environmental information signal. A combination of the power supply level adjustment signal and the average desired transmit power or a gain control signal and an altered version of the power supply level adjustment signal is used to generate a variable power supply signal that is provided to an output amplifier block for sufficiently generating outgoing wireless device radio signals while reducing power loss in the output amplifier block.

  • Publication number: 20050043075
    Abstract: A playing grid includes cells for holding objects of different types, and a cursor that when moved exchanges positions in the grid with an adjacent object. The cursor is prevented from leaving the bounds of the grid. Horizontally or vertically lined-up matchable objects of the same type are deleted. Objects are moved in the grid to cells adjacent to and below unless occupied by other objects. A new row of objects is created below the bottommost row of the playing grid, and shifted up into the grid displacing other objects in the grid up. In an expert mode, falling objects are created at the top of the grid, and objects can be transformed into other objects. In a multiplayer mode, objects can be exchanged and deleted from two playing grids depending on player performance.
