Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wearing position derived device operation are disclosed. In one example, methods and apparatuses are described herein using capacitive sensors to determine device antenna selection or user interface selection.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method and apparatus for processing an audio signal are provided. In one example of the invention, an audio signal is received. The audio signal is classified as a high quality signal or a low quality signal based upon a determination of the bandwidth, signal source, and/or signal type of the audio signal. The audio signal is further processed responsive to whether the audio signal is classified as a high quality signal or a low quality signal.
Abstract:
Wireless systems having a plurality of physically and electrically-separated data sinks. An exemplary wireless system includes first and second data sinks having no physical or electrical connection therebetween. The first and second data sinks each include a wireless communication device, e.g., a radio frequency (RF) receiver or transceiver configured to receive data signals over one or more single-access wireless links or over a multi-access wireless link. The first and second data sinks in exemplary embodiments may comprise audio data sinks, e.g., stereo speakers, left-ear and right-ear earphones (e.g., earbuds or canalphones), left-ear and right-ear circum-aural over-the-ear headphones, etc. At least one of the first and second data sinks may also be coupled to a wireless transmitter and accompanying data source (e.g., a microphone or sensor), so as to provide, for example, two-way communications between a user and an external data device (e.g., a cellular telephone).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for capacitive sensing are disclosed. In one example, a conductive material is arranged on the mobile device exterior surface outside of a capacitive coupling area undesirably coupling underlying electrodes beneath the surface.
Abstract:
A receiver for a direct sequence spread spectrum signal subject to interference from a locally transmitted or received frequency-hopped spread spectrum signal includes a programmable notch filter which is controlled in accordance with the code sequence of a frequency-hopped signal to reject frequencies corresponding to those producing interference

Abstract:
A bearing structure, for example of a needle roller bearing, has an outer surface defined in part by a composition comprising a first polymeric material having a Rockwell hardness (m scale) in the range 80 to 130. Preferred materials are polyaryletherketones, for example polyetheretherketone.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a wireless apparatus and system for automatic processing of digital “messages” to a remote system at a predefined destination address. Initial transmission occurs via a wireless network, and the apparatus process allows the simultaneous capture of new messages while transmissions are occurring. The destination address may correspond to an e-mail account, or may correspond to a remote server from which the message can be efficiently processed and/or further distributed. In the latter case, data packaged with the digital message is used to control processing of the message at the server, based on a combination of pre-defined system and user options. Secured Internet access to the server allows flexible user access to system parameters for configuration of message handling and distribution options, including the option to build named distribution lists that are downloaded to the wireless apparatus. For example, configuration data specified on the server may be downloaded to the wireless apparatus to allow users to quickly specify storage and distribution options for each message, such as archival for later retrieval, forwarding to recipients in a distribution list group, and/or immediate presentation to a monitoring station for analysis and follow-up. The apparatus and system is designed to provide quick and simple digital message capture and delivery for business and personal use.
