This paper presents an algorithm sketch for significantly reducing the capacity impact of multiple emergency cell phone calls to report of a single event to 911 and cellular phone systems.

The advances in technology that are driving System on Chip (SoC) technologies are also driving advancements in programmable technologies. However a programmable technology, by its nature offers lower silicon efficient but highly flexible solution in comparison to a custom/semi-custom solution.

OPTIONAL EEPROM DATA INVERSION CODED INTO THE EEPROM ITSELF

In a radio system supporting an Individual Call service, a method is needed to determine the correct target terminal to which deliver an individual call if the desired recipient of the call is using multiple terminals simultaneously.

To realize high breakdown voltage and low channel resistance (also known as low "on" resistance) for a high voltage MOSFET power device a new structure and process have been devised. This new structure enables the creation of a four terminal MOSFET by using multiple p-channel and n-channel MOSFETs that share the...

A novel word-line driver for a five transistor SRAM

One vacuum seal system for Field Emission Devices (FED) involves the use of vitreous lead solder glass (frit). Failure analysis of a frit seal problem showed that the decreased seal strength was due to a poor frit bond to the cathode. This prompted an investigation into finding an interim material that would assist...

A RF power transistor is configured so that it can be divided up into 2 or more parts. Typically the transistors are made up of a large number of cells (smaller transistors) that are all connected in parallel. This configuration keeps the input side of the device separated into parts that can be biased and or RF...

In a mobile phone or two-way radio, caller IDs of unanswered calls are stored in the radio's memory stack for subsequent review by the user. The addition of another memory stack eliminates the problem of losing data on stack overflow and power down.

For networks using "store and forward" functionality of short data messages (sent on signaling channels), no mechanism is currently defined in the existing GSM, TETRA or other applicable standards to enable an originating short data entity to cease waiting for delivery reports. Depending on the means of determining...
