摘要:
A method (400) and system for communicating in a group of communication devices is disclosed. The method at a first communication device (104) includes receiving (404) a first trust level change request from a second communication device (108). The first trust level is associated with the first communication device and the second communication device (108). Further, a group trust level is associated with the group of communication devices. Further, the method includes modifying (406) the first trust level based on historical data associated with the first communication device and the second communication device. The historical data is a function of at least one of duration of communication, frequency of the communication, and content of data exchanged, between the first communication device and the second communication device.

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.

A portable communication device (100) comprises a first housing element (202) and a second housing element (204), wherein the second housing element (204) is movingly connected to the first housing element (202) such that the second housing element (202) is settable to substantially three positions. A sensor (112) coupled to the first housing element (202) and the second housing element (204) produces a position signal to indicate the position of the second housing element (204) relative to the first housing element (202), and an activation element (230) produces an activation signal in response to a user input. A controller (106) operates the portable communication device (100) in one of a standby mode, a private-mode, and a speakerphone mode in response to the position signal and the activation signal.

A method, information processing system, and portable electronic device for associating metadata with a media file are disclosed. The method includes storing at least one media file (216) associated with identification information. A data set is retrieved from at least one data source. The data set is retrieved at least in part based on the identification information. Metadata (220) is automatically generated without user intervention from the data set based at least in part on the identification information. The metadata (220) is associated with the at least one media file (216).

A cowl latching system provides a retainer that is attached to the outboard motor and a catch device which is attached to a cowl structure. The catch device is shaped to allow the retainer to move between first and second extension portions. The retainer is provided with first and second retention members that can each move from a retracted position to an extended position under the urging of a resilient member such as a spring. The first and second retention members can also be urged from their respective extended positions to their respective retracted positions by the movement of the first and second extension portions of the catch device when the cowl structure is installed unto the outboard motor. The arrangement of the catch device and retainer simplifies the installation and removal of the cowl structure from the outboard motor by allowing the operator of a marine vessel to more easily and simply move the cowl structure relative to the stationary components of the outboard motor during both the installation and removal procedures.

An apparatus and method generates a shaped transition between the minimum and maximum output power levels of a transmitter (500). When the transmitter is turned on a stepped transition (415) is generated at the beginning (3) of the transition region (409) followed by a shaped transition (417) to the end (6) of the transition region (409). When the transmitter (500) is turned off a shaped transition region (417') is generated at the beginning (162) of the transition region (411) followed by a stepped transition (415') at the end (3) of the transition region (411). The stepped transition (415 or 415') is generated by adjusting a voltage controlled attenuator (545) and the bias of a power amplifier (545) in the transmitter (500). The shaped transition (417 or 417') is generated by processing transmitted information through finite impulse response filters (507 or 509) before or after the time slot permitted for transmitting information.
摘要:
A gain control system for controlling signal levels of the signal received by a receiver. The gain control system is operable to control the signal levels of the signal when the signal is comprised of either a conventional, constant envelope signal, such as an FM signal, or a non-constant envelope signal, such as a TDMA composite modulated signal. The gain control system may be advantageously embodied in a dual-mode radiotelephone operable to receive both conventional, FM signals and TDMA, composite modulated signals.
摘要:
A rigging apparatus is provided for an outboard motor in which an attachment member is shaped to be rigidly attached to a housing structure, or cowl, of an outboard motor, without the need for additional hardware such as clamps, brackets, or screws. The attachment member is shaped to receive a threaded sleeve in threaded association therewith so that hoses, wires, and cables can be protected within the threaded sleeve. An attachment member of the rigging apparatus is made to be asymmetrical to avoid improper assembly into an opening of the housing structure of an outboard motor.

A cowl structure comprises first and second cowl members that are independent components. A first cowl member is attachable, by a latch mechanism, to a support structure of the outboard motor. The second cowl member is attachable by a latch mechanism, to both the first cowl member and the support structure. The first cowl member extends across a rear portion of the outboard motor and at least partially along both port and starboard sides of the outboard motor. The second cowl member extends across a front portion of the outboard motor and at least partially along the port and starboard sides of the outboard motor. In a preferred embodiment, the second cowl member also extends partially over a top portion of the outboard motor and over a rear portion of the outboard motor.

A waveform encoding method and device provide for generating/receiving a power efficient binary intensity modulated optical data signal from a binary source signal which minimizes a time between adjacent pulse transitions and maximizes a pulse peak amplitude for transmission over a low-power wireless infrared link. In generating the signal, the method includes: generating a Q-ary pulse position modulation, Q-PPM, encoded data signal from binary data where Q represents 2.sup.L time slots and L is a predetermined integer representing a predetermined number of binary source bits of the power efficient binary intensity modulated optical data signal; generating an efficient binary intensity modulated signal by increasing the pulse peak amplitude of the Q-PPM encoded data signal by a factor of k, k a predetermined value, and decreasing a pulse width of the Q-PPM encoded data signal by k; and transmitting the efficient binary intensity modulated signal over the low-power wireless infrared link.
