摘要:
A gravity switch and a microprocessor are disposed in an electronic device having a virtual image display. The gravity switch provides a determination of the electronic device's orientation to the microprocessor. The microprocessor provides a display signal to the virtual image display based on the orientation of the electronic device. The microprocessor rotates the input from a display interface based on the orientation of the electronic device. The microprocessor includes a time hysteresis to prevent inadvertent changes to the image orientation due to momentary movements of the electronic device.

Disclosed is a storage container enclosing a plurality of spools for receiving filament such a fishing tippet line. The spools are positioned adjacent to each other on separate shafts and rotate independently. Each spool may be removed from its shaft in the container, and a length of tippet line may be conveniently wound around each spool outside of the container. The spools are then returned to their respective shafts in the container. The free end of each spooled tippet line is threaded through an access hole in the side of the container and extends across the outside of the storage container to a structure that conveniently holds and cuts the tippet line. A desired length of tippet line may be withdrawn through the access hole and cut. The storage container is preferably relatively thin and compact. It may be small enough to fit within an average-sized pocket in a fisher's clothing. When the lid of the storage container is closed, the lines on the spools are protected from tangling and unwinding.

A telematics communication system (100) receives an input supply voltage (Vin) (122) from a battery (102) charged by an alternator (101) in an automotive vehicle. The telematics communication system (100) includes a transceiver (104) having a transmitter (107) and a variable delta voltage tracking regulator (VDVTR) (109). The VDVTR (109) provides a regulated output supply voltage (Vout) (124) to a power amplifier (114) in the transmitter (107) responsive to the input supply voltage (122) and a regulator control voltage (TX_EN) (123). The VDVTR (109) has a first operating stage and a second operating stage, each controlled by a bias circuit (R1, R2 and R3), and a third operating stage, controlled by a voltage limiting circuit (D1) to eliminate alternator whine noise (405) that appears on the input supply voltage (122) and, in turn, appears on the regulated output supply voltage (Vout) (124).

摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a method of maintaining communication with a device. The method comprises the steps of creating a first communication link between a first wireless communication device associated with a vehicle and the device associated with a predetermined destination number; creating a second communication link between a second wireless communication device and the device associated with the predetermined destination number; and terminating the first communication link in response to the step of creating the second communication link.
摘要:
A unique method for providing entertainment to a portable device, such as a wireless communication device communicating with a host vehicle, is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a game to a user of the wireless communication device; receiving game parameters to be used by the user of the wireless communication device; operating the game based upon data associated with the wireless communication device and/or the host vehicle.
摘要:
The electronic device powering system enables a battery powered device to power another device needing power while also powering itself. The accessory power connector (102) makes a connection before breaking it by a spring contact (110) that is more flexible in one end (111) than the other (112). This allows the less flexible end (112) to force the internal power connector (104) in the electronic device to break its connection.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and electronic device for optimizing content acquisition are disclosed. A memory may store usage of a previous set of media content by the mobile device. An input/output device may receive a request for a current set of media content. A processor may create a user profile based on the usage and provides a first recommendation of a first digital rights agreement based on the user profile.
摘要:
A method of creating a database of poor coverage areas (120) in a wireless communication system includes (100) determining if a signal quality metric (204) of a communication link (130) in a poor coverage area (120) is below a signal quality threshold (202) then incrementing a poor coverage area counter (210), if not, incrementing a good coverage area counter (212). Storing one or more previous coverage areas (138-140) traversed by wireless device (102) prior to entering the poor coverage area (120) and calculating a trajectory (136) to the poor coverage area (120) based on one or more previous coverage areas (138-140) and poor coverage area (120). Subsequently, anticipating entry of the wireless device (102) into the poor coverage area (120) utilizing the trajectory (136) to the poor coverage area (120) and alerting a user of wireless device (102).
摘要:
A portable radiotelephone with control switch disabling is disclosed. A flip element which contains a microphone and covers a keypad and other control buttons when in a closed position also activates a hookswitch. When the hookswitch and microprocessor indicate that the flip element is in a closed position, the on/off switch cannot be activated to turn the portable radiotelephone on or off and switches which control volume level are deactivated.
