    Abstract: A scheme is described that provides for a low latency, glitch free chip interface that does not require a clock. This invention handles input transitions that are skewed and also input transitions that are momentary. A change in an input state initiates a pulse that propagates through the system and samples the new input state after a delay. If there is a difference between the sampled input state and the present input state, then a new pulse is initiated in order to avoid any illegal transitions at the output.

    Abstract: A novel and useful radio frequency (RF) front end module (FEM) circuit that 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 configuration of the FEM circuit permits the use of common, relatively low cost semiconductor fabrication techniques such as standard CMOS processes. The FEM circuit includes a power amplifier made up of one or more sub-amplifiers having high and low power circuits and whose outputs are combined to yield the total desired power gain. An integrated multi-tap transformer having primary and secondary windings arranged in a novel configuration provide efficient power combining and transfer to the antenna of the power generated by the individual sub-amplifiers.

    Abstract: A coin cell powered device includes a regulator, a transmitter and a charge pump. The transmitter is configured to transmit signals during a transmission period while receiving power from the regulator, the power originated from an external capacitor. The charge pump is configured to perform, during a charging period, a charging process for charging the external capacitor to a charged voltage that exceeds a voltage of a cell coin, wherein the charging process may include iterations of (a) charging a charge pump capacitor by the coin cell, and (b) discharging the charge pump capacitor thereby charging the external capacitor. The capacitance of the charge pump capacitor is a fraction of a capacitance of the external capacitor. The duration of the charging period exceeds a duration of the transmission period.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for videoconferencing. The present implementations more specifically relate to audio signal processing techniques that can be used to identify speakers in a videoconference. In some aspects, an audio signal processor may map each speaker in a videoconference to a respective spatial direction and transform the audio signals received from each speaker using one or more transfer functions associated with the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped. The audio signal processor may further transmit the transformed audio signals to an audio output device that emits sounds waves having a directionality associated with the transformation. For example, the audio signal processor may apply one or more head-related transfer functions to the audio signals received from a particular speaker so that the sound waves emitted by the audio output device are perceived as originating from the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped.
