摘要:
A communication device such as pager (100) includes a real-time clock circuit (118). The real-time clock circuit keeps track of both the pager's home time zone information (402) and the pager's current time zone information (404). While the pager user is operating within his home area, the pager's home time zone information (402) and the current or local time zone information (404) will be the same. If the user however travels away from his home system's time zone, the real-time clock circuit adjusts the current time zone information (404) to reflect the time zone the user is currently operating in. The user can set alarms which reference either the home time zone information (402) or the current time zone information (404). This allows for more user flexibility on how the alarm conditions are to operate.
摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition of a practically insoluble drug, wherein the composition may be administered with food or without food. The composition may be in the form of a solid dispersion of the practically insoluble drug and a polymer having acidic functional groups, and the composition may in vitro form a suspension.

An electronic device (10 or 300) and method (400) can include a storage medium (14, 304, or 306) having at least a predetermined contact number (15) designated as an emergency contact number and a processor (302). The processor can be programmed to place the electronic device or a portion (14 or 18) of the electronic device in a locked mode and enable (408) electronic access to any predetermined contact number designated as an emergency contact number notwithstanding the locked mode. The electronic device can be for example a cellular phone, a smart phone, a cordless home phone, a personal digital assistant, a wireless messaging device, an MP3 player, a laptop computer, or a lockable solid state memory device. The electronic device can be a wireless communication device and the emergency contact number can be contained in an electronic phonebook (19) within the storage medium.
摘要:
A counter mounted dispensing system includes a bottle support under a counter and a product container having a collar key. The product container is received by the bottle support and held thereby without the need for relative rotational movement between the product container and the bottle support. The product container thus may have a cross-sectional shape that prohibits the product container from being rotated at the location of receipt, typically due to contact between the container and a wall or the sink basin. An alignment skirt on the bottle support ensures that the product container is properly oriented for receipt, and a release ring in the bottle support engages the collar key on the product container to releasably hold the product container.
摘要:
A method (50) and system (10) for recipient based scoping of location information can include a communication device (12, 14, or 16) within a communication network and a processor (22, 28, or 32) coupled to the communication network. The processor can be programmed to obtain or receive (52) location information having more than one level of granularity and automatically adjusting (54) a level of granularity of the location information at the communication device based on location related characteristics of a recipient (39) at a selective call receiver (14).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for entering a low power mode is provided. In one embodiment, data processing system (10) has power control circuitry (52) which may be used to control power usage in data processing system (10). Power mode select circuitry (84) may be used to select a power mode. Depending upon the power mode selected, power control circuitry (52) may use a cascaded approach to selecting which portions of data processing system (10) will be powered down, and thus how deeply data processing system (10) will be powered down.
摘要:
The invention discloses a waste disposal apparatus including a waste packet forming device integrated with a tool for cutting the packet, and a method for using the apparatus. The disclosed integrated twist-and-cut system provides an improvement over existing waste disposal systems by reducing steps in the disposal of waste material.
摘要:
A navigation method and apparatus is capable of learning and updating a street address thereby more precisely matching a position of destination with a street address of the destination based on a difference between the actual arrival position and the calculated position of the destination. The navigation method includes the steps of: producing an assumed position of a destination based on an address number on a street; detecting an arrival at an actual position of the destination; examining a difference between the assumed position of the destination and the actual position of the destination; and updating address data using the difference so as to match the street address number of the destination with the actual position of the destination. The foregoing process is conducted by a single navigation system.
摘要:
An antenna comprising: (a) semi-conductor means (1) having upper and lower surfaces; the upper and lower surfaces having a pattern of electrically conducting regions; (b) first generating means (9, 10) for generating conducting plasma filaments of charged carrier between the upper and lower conducting regions; (c) radio frequency feed means (8) to selected ones of the conducting plasma filaments in order to couple radio frequency energy to or from the semi-conductor means; and (d) second generating means for selectively generating a pattern of conductive filaments between the surfaces of the semi-conductor means in order to reflect and thereby to focus an electromagnetic wavefront incident upon an edge of the semi-conductor means to at least one radio frequency feed point within the semi-conductor means; and the antenna being planar dielectric lens antenna with controlled conductive elements forming a direction antenna for the reception or transmission of a beam frequency energy in the plane of the semi-conductor means.
