Abstract:
The battery charging process monitors the battery charging pockets waiting for an indication that a battery or a phone-battery combination has been inserted into their respective pockets. The first battery that is inserted is the high priority battery and is charged first while any subsequent battery inserted into a charging pocket has no power applied until the high priority battery is charged. If the phone enters a call while in the charger, it becomes the high priority battery if it was not already. In this case, power is removed from the individual battery and applied to the phone-battery combination until the call has been completed. At this point, the process returns the high priority status to the battery that had it prior to the call interrupt.
Abstract:
An integrated modem (110) for use in a spread spectrum communications system. The modem includes in a demodulator front end (122) which despreads received multipath signals. A single transform engine (120), which operates on a time slice basis, demodulates each despread multipath signal. The output of the transform processor engine (120) is provided to maximum detection circuitry (160) and a pipeline processor (126). Pipeline processor (126), which also operates on a time slice basis, combines and further processes the demodulated multipath signals to provide soft decision data for deinterleaving and error correction decoding in deinterleaver/decoder (130) to recover received data. The modem (110) further includes an encoder/interleaver (138), modulator (140) and transmit summer (142) for spread spectrum modulating data for transmission.
Abstract:
The system includes a first mechanism for receiving a feedback signal and providing a charging signal to the battery over a first electrical path when the feedback signal indicates that the battery is not fully charged. A second mechanism measures a voltage state of the battery via second and third electrical paths and provides the voltage state as the feedback signal to the first mechanism in response thereto. In the specific embodiment, the first mechanism is a controllable power supply and the second mechanism is a sensing circuit. The sensing circuit includes a subtractor circuit that subtracts the voltage on the second electrical path from the voltage on the third electrical path and provides the feedback signal in response thereto. The second electrical path includes a wire connected between a first terminal of the subtractor circuit and a positive terminal of the battery.

Abstract:
An integrated demodulation processor used in a modem for a spread spectrum communications system despreads multipath receive signals then uses a time sliced transform processor to process the multiple signals in to a single series of soft decision results. The demodulation processor uses a single transform engine which operates on a time slice basis. The output of the processor engine cascade through a pipeline processor which, on a time slice basis, operates on signals corresponding to each multipath receive signal. The processed results are dual maxima decoded to provide soft decision data.
