摘要:
A multi-configuration portable electronic device is provided. The device includes at least one processor, a first body element including at least one input, and a second body element including a display. The second body element is pivotally coupled to the first body element such that the device can be positioned into a plurality of physical configurations. In response to a change in the physical configuration of the device, there is a change in at least two of a mode of operation of the input device, a mode of operation of the display, and an active software application being executed by the processor. In a preferred embodiment, the physical configurations of the device include a portrait configuration in which the device functions as a wireless phone, and a landscape configuration in which the device functions as a text messaging pager, PDA, handheld computer, electronic organizer, or media player. Also provided is a method of operating a portable electronic device having a plurality of physical configurations.

A technique of processing an image data for output on a digital image device that compresses (164) a portion of a received image data to a data frame (110) according to a predefined size that is optimized for output with a processor of the device. The portion of the image data that is defined by the data frame is outputted (166, 186) to another source, and for any empty bits in the data frame, a zero bit is inserted (174).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for viewing the effect of changes to an index for a database table on an optimization plan for a database query, such as an SQL statement. A virtual table is created which mimics the structure of an original table on the database. The virtual table is created by copying the original table, excluding any data in the original table. Any existing original indexes associated with original table are copied to define a virtual index associated with the virtual table. References in the query to the original table are replaced with references to the virtual table. The database management system then determines a new optimization plan for the query.

A peripheral and a method for securing and operating the peripheral. A preferred embodiment comprises scanning a communications media for identifiers of devices utilizing the communications media, selecting identifiers from the scanned identifiers, applying a logical combination function to the selected identifiers, and securing the peripheral based on an output of the applying. The securing of the peripheral can be totally transparent to a device coupled to the peripheral, as is the granting of access to the peripheral. No changes to the device or to software in the device are needed, which can simplify development and implementation of the present invention. Furthermore, without requiring changes to the devices to which the peripherals are attached, the cost of the implementation can be kept to a minimum, while not affecting the reliability of the devices.

摘要:
A bi-directional voltage translator (125) has a first port (201) that communicates a signal at a first voltage level, and second port (202) that communicates a signal at a second voltage level different from the first voltage level. A switching circuit, including a bipolar junction transistor (210) and a switch (220), couples both ports (201, 202). The transistor (210) has a collector (211) coupled, via a pull-up circuit (206), to a voltage source corresponding to the first voltage level, and to the first port (201), and an emitter (212) coupled to the second port. The base (213) of the transistor (210) is coupled, via a pull-up circuit (207), to a voltage source corresponding to the second voltage level. Preferably, the switch (220) is Schottky diode or other diode having a forward voltage drop.
