Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for managing battery capacity in a portable computing device (“PCD”) are disclosed. One such method includes leveraging a request/grant algorithm that receives a request from an offline component to come online. If battery capacity is available to accommodate the offline component, the request is granted. If battery capacity is not available to accommodate the offline component, the request is authorized at a reduced power level or capacity is created by reducing power to online components. Another method polls a battery to monitor demand on its capacity by active components. Offline components likely to come online concurrently with the active components are identified and ranked based on power consumption. A target current margin is adjusted based on the highest power consumption associated with an identified block of offline components.

Abstract: A method for reducing call dropping rates in a multi-beam communication system. The multi-beam communication system includes a user terminal, a gateway, and a plurality of beam sources, where each beam source projects a plurality of beams, and where a communication link between the user terminal and the gateway is established on one or more beams. The method according to the present invention relies on a messaging protocol between the gateway and the user terminal. Based on messages sent from the user terminal to the gateway, preferably on a preselected periodic basis, the gateway can determine the more desirable beam(s) for transmitting data or information to the user terminal. The messages sent from the user terminal to the gateway contain values representing beam strengths as measured at the user terminal. The gateway uses the user terminal measured beam strengths to select the beams that should be used for transmitting data or information to the user terminal. The beams that should be used are the beams that if used will decrease the call dropping rates and provide a desired level of beam source diversity.

Abstract: Methods of writing display data to MEMS display elements are configured to minimize charge buildup and differential aging. Simultaneous to writing rows of image data, a pre-write operation is performed on a next row. The pre-write operation writes either image data or the inverse of the image data to the next row. In some embodiments, the selection between writing image data and writing inverse image data is performed in a random or pseudo-random manner.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating programmable device systems captures, categorizes, indexes, manipulates and stores generated embedded trace generated information in an enterprise database. Use cases may be executed on an ETM enabled processor, ETM trace data may be captured, and captured trace data may be manipulated and stored in the enterprise database. The data collected from numerous use cases over multiple executions may be used to generate a differential comparison. The differential comparison may be used to interpret and predict bottlenecks, bugs and irregularities within the programmable device.

Abstract: A brake apparatus engages and locks a piston of a hydraulic elevator drive carrying an elevator car or a cable pulley. Attached at the upper end of a hydraulic cylinder guiding the piston is a beam on which are pivotally mounted at least two brake arms at pivot points. The brake arms are pivoted by a slidable plunger toward and away from the piston. Each brake are carries a brake lining having a shoulder formed on an inwardly facing surface providing a transition from a piston contact portion to a recessed portion of the surface. The shoulder is positioned in the same generally horizontal plane as the brake arm pivot point for initially engaging the surface of the piston to reduce forces transmitted through the brake arms during engagement and disengagement.
