Abstract: A display device has current-addressed pixels, with the currents being supplied by driver circuitry which comprises a transistor (10) for applying a charging voltage to a switched capacitor arrangement (Ci, S1, S2) arranged to selectively charge and discharge the capacitor (Ci) at a predetermined rate to a charging voltage. A transistor control voltage (Vref) is applied to a control terminal of the transistor which is adjusted depending on the transistor threshold voltage to ensure that the capacitor (Ci) is charged to the charging voltage irrespectively of the value of the threshold voltage. This enables an accurately controllable current to be provided which is used to drive the current-addressed pixels.

Abstract: A wireless terminal has an antenna arrangement including one or more antennas (102a, 102b) designed to reduce substantially currents flowing on ground conductors (104a, 104b, 104c) within the device. In known terminals, these currents generate radiation of unwanted polarisations and radiation in unwanted directions, and can also reduce radiation efficiency. The antenna arrangement of the present invention employs antennas (102a, 102b) having an electrical length of slightly more than half a wavelength. The feed currents drawn from the ground conductors (104a, 104b, 104c) are then out of phase with the current flowing on most of the antenna and therefore cancel with induced currents. The total current flowing in the ground conductors (104a, 104b, 104c) is reduced, thereby minimising radiation from these conductors and improving overall radiation characteristics. Further, the input impedance of the antenna (102a, 102b) remains reasonable.

Abstract translation: 无线终端具有包括一个或多个天线（102a，102b）的天线布置，该天线被设计成基本上减少流过设备内的接地导体（104a，104b，104c）的电流。 在已知的端子中，这些电流在不想要的方向上产生不想要的极化和辐射的辐射，并且还可以降低辐射效率。 本发明的天线装置采用电长度略大于波长一半的天线（102a，102b）。 然后，从接地导体（104a，104b，104c）抽出的馈电电流与在大部分天线上流动的电流异相，因此用感应电流消除。 在接地导体（104a，104b，104c）中流动的总电流减小，从而最小化来自这些导体的辐射并改善整个辐射特性。 此外，天线（102a，102b）的输入阻抗保持合理。

Abstract: A method of reconfiguring the software interface in software defined radios in which when a transmitting station (PS) sends a reconfiguration software message to a receiving station (SS), the receiving station responds with a message giving an estimated time duration for carrying-out the reconfiguration of its software. The transmitting station listens for the estimated time duration for a message which confirms that the receiving station has been successfully reconfigured and commences normal communications using the new configuration. The estimated time duration may be computed using indicia present in the reconfiguration software message.

Abstract: A charge pump circuit (1) comprises a series of voltage boosting stages (11), each stage (11) comprising a switching means (10) and a capacitive element (12) connected in series between the input to the stage and a respective voltage control terminal (14,15). The voltage control terminals (14,15) comprise at least two groups of terminals receiving respective timed control voltages, and adjacent stages (11) are associated with different terminal groups. The switching means (10) of one or more stages (11) comprises a lateral PIN junction diode. The use of diodes enables the charge pump circuit itself to operate from a lower supply voltage than is possible with the use of TFTs. The use of lateral PIN diodes enables the charge pump circuit to be formed using the same processing as may be required for TFT's of the circuit to which the boosted voltage is supplied. This enables the charge pump circuit to be formed on a common substrate with higher voltage TFT circuitry for, for example, an AMLCD.

Abstract: A portable location alarm device is provided which allows a user to preset an alarm event to occur when the device arrives at a pre-determined location. The alarm event alerts the user by audible, visual or vibrating means. The alarm device determines it's actual location using GPS data. In one embodiment the user bookmarks particular locations while physically present at a given location. Part of the bookmarking process involves the device simultaneously receiving GPS data that describes the physical location. The user can subsequently set an alarm event for any bookmarked location without the need for the device to carry large databases, for example of the type cross-referencing place names to mapping co-ordinates.
