Abstract: A communication system and a method of communicating data. A first backhaul site can be dynamically selected from a plurality of backhaul sites that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with an access point. A controller can dynamically configure a transmission parameter used to communicate a first backhaul data stream between the access point and the first backhaul site. The first backhaul data stream can be derived from a source data stream and can be wirelessly communicated between the access point and the first backhaul site. A second backhaul site also can be selected. A second backhaul data stream also can be derived from the source data stream and wirelessly communicated between the access point and the second backhaul site. The first and second backhaul data streams can be combined.

Abstract: Rewritable signs (100, 1300) that include bistable cholesteric liquid crystal layers (102, 1402, 1404, 1406) are provided. According to one embodiment a rewritable sign (100) is devoid of circuitry for establishing electric fields in localize regions for writing information to the rewritable sign (100), and is consequently inexpensive. In the latter embodiment, a separate information writer (400) that includes an array of pixel electrodes (404) that is driven by an active matrix (602) is used to write information on the rewritable sign. According to another embodiment a rewritable sign (1300) includes three cholesteric liquid layers (1402, 1404, 1406) each of which reflects a different primary color. The three cholesteric liquid crystal layers (1402, 1404, 1406) are interleaved with sets of conductive lines (1316, 1320, 1322, 1324) that are used to apply signals to the cholesteric liquid crystal layers (1402, 1404, 1406) for the purpose of writing information.

Abstract: A communication device is designed to contain the lowest possible level of toxic or hazardous materials, so that when it is eventually disposed of, it will not harm the environment and can be safely recycled. Each component A.sub.1, A.sub.2, . . . , A.sub.n in the communication device has a calculated Component Toxicity Index value. A Product Toxicity Index for the entire communication device is calculated by summing the individual Component Toxicity Index values. The desired outcome is a communication device having a Product Toxicity Index less than or equal to 100. The resulting communication device is referred to as "environmentally friendly". The communication device may be a two-way radio (10), and some of the components are a radio transmitter (12), a radio receiver (14), an antenna (16), an amplifier (18), a battery (20) and a housing (22).

Abstract: An improved leadless semiconductor device package consists of a molded plastic carrier (30) with a plurality of C5 bumps (52) integrally molded into the bottom side of the carrier. The bumps are made of the same plastic as the carrier and are monolithic to the carrier. The C5 bumps are coated with a solderable material (50) so that they can be connected to pads on a PCB with solder paste. The top side of the plastic carrier has a metallization pattern containing a plurality of bond pads (44) that correspond to pads on the semiconductor die, and the bond pads are electrically connected to the C5 bumps by an electrically conductive structure. A semiconductor die (38) is mounted on the carrier top side and electrically connected to the plurality of bond pads, either by wire bonds (54) or by flip chip bonding. C4 bumps (70) can also be molded into the carrier for flip chip attachment.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for use in a user device for limiting the ability of the terminal of the user device to replay protected content. The low-level key that is used by the decryption component of the terminal to decrypt content is transient in that it expires if at least one predetermined expiration criteria is met. After they key has expired, it is no longer valid and thus cannot be used by the decryption component to decrypt protected content. Limiting the ability of the terminal to replay protected content is preferably accomplished in a way that does not affect the ability of the terminal to play and replay unprotected content.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for allowing a node (300) in an ad hoc network to deterministically decide whether to relay broadcast information to another node in the ad hoc network. The node (300) receives broadcast information and measures received signal strength (RSS) of the broadcast information. The node (300) may determine if the measured RSS is below a low threshold, and if so, can relay the broadcast information to neighbor nodes. Otherwise, the node (300) can also determine if the measured RSS is above a high threshold, and if not, wait for a waiting period before relaying the broadcast information to the neighbor nodes. The node (300) may dynamically adjust the low threshold by decreasing the low threshold as the number of neighbor nodes increases and may dynamically adjust the high threshold by increasing the high threshold as the number of neighbor nodes decreases.

Abstract translation: 提供了允许自组织网络中的节点（300）确定地决定是否将广播信息中继到自组织网络中的另一个节点的技术。 节点（300）接收广播信息并测量广播信息的接收信号强度（RSS）。 节点（300）可以确定测量的RSS是否低于低阈值，如果是，则可以将广播信息中继到相邻节点。 否则，节点（300）还可以确定测量的RSS是否高于高阈值，如果不是，则等待等待周期，然后再将广播信息中继到相邻节点。 节点（300）可以通过随着邻居节点数量的增加而减小低阈值来动态地调整低阈值，并且可以随着邻居节点数的增加而增加高阈值来动态地调整高阈值。
