    Abstract: A method for transferring messages to wireless communication device, the method may include receiving, by an intermediate device, from a upstream device, a certain message awaiting indication that is indicative that a certain message is waiting to be sent to a certain wireless communication device; detecting, by the intermediate device, that the certain wireless communication device is in a wireless communication facilitating mode; requesting the certain wireless communication device, to re-enter the wireless communication facilitating mode at a certain time frame; retrieving the certain message from the upstream device; detecting, by the intermediate device, that the certain wireless communication device re-entered the wireless communication facilitating mode at the certain time frame; and wirelessly transmitting the certain message to the certain wireless communication device.

    Abstract: A scheme is described to switch the power supply to the MEMS microphone on and off in a cyclic manner that is synchronized with the associated ADC sampling rate. In this way the MEMS microphone amplifier, whether it is a J-FET transistor or an operational amplifier, is off most of the cycle time, and is turned on only for a few micro-seconds prior to the sample-and-hold timing of the ADC device. By this method, the average power consumption of an existing analog MEMS microphone can be reduced by a factor of 10 or more.

    Abstract: A two-port air pump speaker that includes at least two active, phase-modulated, bi-directional shutters and an ultrasonic pumping chamber having at least two ports; a first port facing towards the listener, the forward port, and a second port facing another direction, the backward port which may be behind an acoustic baffle or inside a speaker enclosure. A two-port speaker with two active steering shutters can create continuous bi-directional airflow which leads to low distortion reproduction of low audio frequencies. The same improved design can be used also for other applications where acoustic modulation is required, especially in ultrasonic frequencies.

    Abstract: A novel and useful configurable radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) and related front end module (FEM) circuit that enables manipulation of the operating point of the power amplifier resulting in configurability, multimode and multiband operating capability. The configurable PA also provides high linearity and power efficiency and meets the requirements of modern wireless communication standards such as 802.11 WLAN, 3G and 4G cellular standards, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc. The configurable power amplifier is made up of one or more configurable sub-amplifiers having each constructed to have several orders of freedom (i.e. biasing points). Each sub-amplifier and its combiner path include active and passive elements. Manipulating one or more biasing points of each sub-amplifier, and therefore of the aggregate power amplifier as well, achieves multimode and multiband operation. Biasing points include, for example, the gain and saturation point, frequency response, linearity level and EVM. An integrated multi-tap transformer having primary and secondary windings arranged in a novel configuration provides efficient power combining and transfer to the antenna of the power generated by the individual sub-amplifiers.
