Abstract: There is provided a method for setting and clearing a concurrent service between a mobile switching center (MSC) and a base station, to provide a new service while providing an existing service. The base station forms a signaling link for a first service between the base station and the MSC. Upon receipt of a service request signal for a second service from a packet data service network (PDSN) while providing the first service, the base station sends a resource assignment request for the second service to the MSC through the formed signaling link. The MSC then sends a resource assignment approval signal to the base station through the formed signaling link.

Abstract: A clock generator for generating an output clock signal synchronized with an input clock signal having first and second adjustable delay lines. The first adjustable delay lines is adjusted following initialization of the clock generator to expedite obtaining a lock condition following the initialization. The second adjustable delay line is adjusted after synchronization is achieved with the first adjustable delay line, or when the first adjustable delay line reaches a maximum adjustable delay. The first adjustable delay line is reset when a lock condition is initially obtained, and the second adjustable delay line is adjusted to compensate for the resetting of the first adjustable delay line.

Abstract: A method of determining the lower limit of decoding resolution in a digital imaging-based bar code symbol reader. A software-based optical design program is used to generate the composite DOF chart of image formation optics employed in the digital imaging-based bar code symbol reader. The modulation transfer function (MTF) of the object image is used to determine the smallest mil size code that can be decoded, at a given object distance, to produce an optical performance curve. The program calculates the size of the field of view (FOV) of a single sensor pixel, when projected through the image formation optics and out into object space. For both the 1.4 and 1.6 sampling limit pixel rules, the calculated FOV values are plotted on the same axes as the optical performance curve. Using graphical solution techniques, the sampling limit line of choice determines the lower limit of the decoding resolution in the imaging-based bar code symbol reader.

Abstract: A redundancy scheme for a memory is disclosed that is programmable both before and after the memory device is packaged and/or installed in a system. This is preferably accomplished by using programmable non-volatile memory elements to control the replacement circuitry. Because the programmable memory elements are non-volatile, the desired replacement configuration is not lost during shipping, or if power is lost in a system. By allowing post-packaging replacement of defective memory elements, the overall yield of the device may be improved. By allowing post system installation replacement of defective memory elements, the reliability of many systems may be improved. In addition, the disclosed redundancy scheme allows two or more defective memory elements from different rows or columns to be replaced with memory elements from a single redundant low or column. This provides added flexibility during the replacement process.
