Abstract:
A plurality of integrated circuits in a system, each having a program memory loaded with different sections of a program, and a second memory. The integrated circuits perform the program, such that, when one of the integrated circuits requires a portion of the program, which is contained in its own program memory, it extracts it from the program memory and uses it, but when it requires a portion of the program, which is not contained in its own program memory, it reads it from the program memory of one of the other integrated circuits into its second memory and runs that portion of the program from there. In one example, the system is a line card, and the program is specific to one DSL protocol.

Abstract:
A tire parameter sensing system (10) for a vehicle (12) includes a vehicle-based unit (54) for transmitting first signals and for receiving second signals. A tire-based unit (34) is associated with a tire (16) of the vehicle (12). The tire-based unit (34) is responsive to received first signals for sensing a parameter of the tire (16) and for transmitting second signals indicative of the sensed parameter. An antenna portion (144) of the tire-based unit (34) has an impedance that varies in response to varying environmental conditions. The vehicle-based unit (54) including a tuner (106) and a controller (90). The controller (90) monitors a condition of received second signals at various settings of the tuner (106) and thereafter, sets the tuner (106) for maximizing the condition of the received second signals.
Abstract:
An antenna (96) for use in inductive coupling two devices (34 and 42) includes a first coil (180) having a first inductance value, a second coil (190) having a second inductance value, and a capacitor (198) having a capacitance value. The first and second coils (180 and 190) and the capacitor (198) form a tank circuit (196) having a predetermined resonant frequency. The capacitance value of the capacitor (198) varies inversely to an equivalent inductance value of the tank circuit (196) for providing the predetermined resonant frequency. The first and second coils (180 and 190) are connected in parallel with one another so that the equivalent inductance value of the tank circuit (196) is less than each of the first and second inductance values and the capacitance value of the capacitor (198) is maintained above a predetermined threshold value for providing stability to the tank circuit (196).
