摘要:
A wireless communication device responsive to orientation and movement comprising a housing, a cellular transceiver capable of communicating with a cellular communication network, a WLAN transceiver capable of communicating with a remote device via an ad hoc network, a sensor and a processor. The sensor detects a substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device. The sensor also detects a movement of the wireless communication device subsequent to detecting the substantially vertical orientation of the wireless communication device. The processor performs a function of the wireless communication device in coordination with the remove device via the WLAN transceiver. The processor performs this function in response to detecting the substantially vertical orientation and the movement of the wireless communication device.
摘要:
A method of optimizing audio performance of a mobile device. The method can include detecting an orientation of the mobile device. The method also can include, via a processor, responsive to the mobile device being oriented in a first orientation, dynamically selecting at least a first output audio transducer to output left channel audio signals and dynamically selecting at least a second output audio transducer to output right channel audio signals. The method further can include communicating the left channel audio signals to the first output audio transducer and communicating the right channel audio signals to the second output audio transducer.
摘要:
Techniques and technologies are presented for adapting an attribute magnification for a mobile communication device. An output device for the attribute is connected to the mobile communication device. A sensor tracks distance of a user's head in relation to the mobile communication device; while a controller initiates a setting phase for magnification change and subsequently a tracking phase, opposite from the setting phase, for dynamically adjusting the attribute from the mobile communication device.

A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a network device (104, 105, 106, 107) is provided. A network device (104, 105, 106, 107) is placed in a quiescent mode and scheduled to switch to an active mode at a scheduled time. At the scheduled time, the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) is activated. A control message (402, 403, 404, 405) is received by the network device (104, 105, 106, 107). The control message (402, 403, 404, 405) includes an indication as to whether or not the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) should remain in the active mode in preparation of receiving a data message (608, 609). If the control message (402, 403, 404, 405) indicates that the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) need not remain in the active mode, the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) sets a new scheduled time and returns to the quiescent mode. However if the control message (402, 403, 404, 405) indicates that the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) should remain in the active mode in preparation of receiving a data message (608, 609), the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) remains in the active mode and receives the data message (608, 609). After the data message (608, 609) has been received, the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) returns to the quiescent mode. Thus, power consumption in the network device (104, 105, 106, 107) is reduced.
摘要:
A dual-axes hinge part (106) defines a lower hinge (132) and an upper hinge (130) of an electronic device (100). The upper hinge (130) permits a component, such as a display member (102) to pivot with respect to the hinge part (106) in a portrait mode. The lower hinge (132) permits both the display member (102) and the hinge part (106) to pivot with respect to a base (104) in a landscape mode. The axes of the hinges (130, 132) cross one another and lie in different planes. The hinge part (106) conforms to the shapes of the housing of the display member (102) and the housing of the base (104) and has no parts that project substantially beyond the boundaries of the display member (102) and the base (104). Thus, the hinge part (106) provides dual-axes functionality while not detracting from the aesthetics of the electronic device (100).
摘要:
The invention provides a chassis for housing printed circuit boards comprising: a housing having a top, bottom, front, back, left and right side walls, and having a height, measured from the bottom wall to the top wall, that is equal to a 1 rack-unit. The front wall includes an inlet vent, a display module, and a jack and the back side wall includes an exhaust vent. A front wall face plate overlies the inlet vent, display module and jack, with the inlet vent arranged in parallel, overlapping but offset planes. A centrifugal blower is provided inside the chassis housing.
摘要:
The apparatus permits non-disruptive addition and removal of PCMCIA modules from a host device. The host device includes a signal bus connected to mating pins of the card header. The card header has a three-sided frame into which a module is inserted. A switch disposed on an edge of the header is responsive to insertion and de-insertion of the module. The length of the mating pins vary where selected mating pins of the card header have a first length for detecting substantially complete insertion and partial de-insertion of the module, and pins of a second length for applying bus signals to the module. Pins of a third length facilitate applying electrical power to the module. The computer is responsive to the switch and the mating pins such that the signal bus is deactivated to prevent corruption of the bus signals when the switch detects insertion of the module. The signal bus remains deactivated until the module is in communication with pins of a first length, whereupon the signal bus is then reactivated. This prevents electrical transients from reaching the bus. Additionally, the signal bus is deactivated upon partial de-insertion of the module when the module is no longer in communication with pins of first length. The signal bus remains deactivated until the switch detects complete de-insertion of the module, whereupon the signal bus is then reactivated.
