    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: Methods and systems are provided for adaptively managing a plurality of microphones and speakers in an electronic device. A mode of operation of the electronic device may be determined, and operation of at least one speaker may be managed, based on the determined mode of operation. The managing may comprise adaptively switching or modifying functions of the at least one speaker. For example, the at least one speaker may be configured to act as microphone or as vibration detector. Input obtained using the at least one speaker may be utilized in optimizing audio related functions, such as noise reduction and/or acoustic echo canceling.

    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.
