Abstract: Reducing the power consumption of loads fed by one or more power supplies is achieved by the use of apparatus which determines the power supply output and, upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition, generates a signal to the power-consuming loads. In response to this signal, the loads alter their mode of operation so as to reduce the overall demand on the power supply. Several implementations of this load-shedding technique, which is particularly suitable for use in a communications system, are disclosed.

Abstract: A content channel is periodically or permanently allocated for use as an “update channel” or “firmware-image download” channel. Any firmware images downloaded to receivers in the system are thoroughly tested prior to being distributed among the receivers. Header information is included in the firmware image when it is transmitted to the receivers, and the firmware image is not accepted for use by the receivers until it is verified on the receiver side. Further, rather than overwriting the existing firmware, the new validated firmware updates are stored separately on the receivers and are utilized when the receiver is rebooted during power-up or by the host controller. If, during this reboot process, an error occurs in the new firmware image, the receiver is configured to revert back to the original firmware image so that it will remain operational, albeit without the updated firmware features.

Abstract translation: 定期或永久地分配内容频道以用作“更新频道”或“固件图像下载”频道。 下载到系统中的接收器的任何固件映像在被分配在接收器之前被彻底测试。 当固件图像被发送到接收器时，标题信息被包括在固件图像中，并且固件图像在接收器侧被验证之前不被接收器使用。 此外，新的经过验证的固件更新不是重写现有固件，而是单独存储在接收器上，并且在上电期间或由主机控制器重新启动接收机时被使用。 如果在此重新启动过程中，新固件映像中出现错误，则接收器将配置为恢复为原始固件映像，以使其保持运行，尽管没有更新的固件功能。

Abstract: A user of a telephone terminal with an interactive display is provided complete access to all feature choices in a hierarchical menu through a minimum number of menu keys. These menu keys include a "Next" key, a "Back" key, a "Select" key and a "Home" key. These menu keys occupy minimal space on the housing of the telephone terminal, yet enable the user of the terminal to easily scroll to and select every feature in the interactive display. The user is able to quickly develop a mental model of the feature choices and easily navigate through these menu selections. Context-sensitive functionality also is provided for using the interactive display. As a user completes a command function, the feature choice presented to the user for this function is the one most likely to be accessed by the user, thus advantageously avoiding the necessity of having a dedicated key for allowing the user to select this feature choice.

Abstract: A battery-powered power supply system is disclosed that is fully compatible with PMU ASIC and USB power architectures as well as being backwards compatible with the non-PMU power architectures. A battery-powered power supply utilizes a battery source (e.g., two AA battery cells in series), in a circuit including a switching power supply IC with a programmable variable output voltage and current limiter, along with a microcontroller. The invention also can include a flashlight or similar light source, which has utility beyond the obvious uses of a flashlight. The voltage and current supplied by the system of the present invention is controlled by the microcontroller to provide a variable voltage, variable as a function of time, if desired, during the charging operation. The flexibility afforded by a micro-controller controlled system allows the present invention to operate in different power or operational states and to adapt itself to the load demands. Furthermore, a unique power “boost” feature can be invoked by the user or be automatically invoked.

Abstract: A secondary satellite radio or broadcast channel is used to broadcast advertisement clips (e.g., audio clips) to a receiver for subsequent decoding and playback. The receiver is configured for different tiers of service, e.g., one that delivers substantially advertising-free content and another that delivers content that includes more significant amounts of advertising. The content delivered to both is the same content; however, for the service tier that includes more advertising, the advertisements broadcast on the secondary channel are interleaved into the content, preferably in such a way that the continuity of the content being delivered is not compromised.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device that can communicate with a plurality of testing devices that utilize a plurality of communication formats. To accommodate the plurality of testing devices, the electronic device can be configured to communicate with external test equipment using multiple communication path configurations and multiple message protocols. An exemplary method of the present invention is a method of configuring an electronic device for communicating with either of a first or second testing device. The first and second testing devices use, respectively, first and second physical communication path configurations and first and second message protocols. As an initial matter, the method of the present invention includes identifying a presently-used testing device, the presently-used testing device comprising one of the first and second testing devices. Once the presently-used testing device is identified, the electronic device self-configures to a select physical communication path configuration, the select communication path configuration comprising that of the first and second communication path configurations which corresponds to the presently-used testing device. Next, the electronic device receives a message from the presently-used testing device, the message containing information relating to a testing routine to be performed. Once the message is received, the message protocol corresponding to the presently-used testing device is employed to obtain the information relating to the test routine to be performed. Finally, the test routine identified in obtained information is performed.
