Abstract: A fully integrated single-loop frequency synthesizer, which can serve as a local oscillator for a broadband tuner, is disclosed, thus allowing the creation of a single-chip solution for broadband applications. The tank circuits are integrated into the tuner chip through the combination of a phase-locked loop and multiple on-chip VCOs comprising narrow-tuning range varactors. Drift in the VCOs caused by heat is overcome by designing the VCOs to overlap each other. Initial tolerance problems associated with the VCOs are overcome by the use of a calibration method. The calibration of the VCOs is accomplished by utilizing the lock detect output of the phase-locked loop and a binary search algorithm. The edges of each VCO are determined with this calibration method, thereby enabling VCO selection based on the desired channel. A sufficient number of VCOs are provided such that whatever the initial tolerance shift, the full broadband spectrum can still be covered after calibration. Additionally, the problem of coupling between the local oscillator signal and the incoming radio frequency signal is mediated by the use of a programmable 2/4 divider. This 2/4 divider also provides additional flexibility in choosing the number of VCOs to put on the chip and which VCO to use in a particular implementation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method wherein a radio link control stage processes separately first data units containing information items of a specific type and second data units not containing information items of said type. A control stage for access to the media delivers the first data units through a first dedicated transport channel and the second data units through a second dedicated transport channel. The data units delivered through said dedicated transport channels are supplied to an encoding and multiplexing stage to form at least a train of symbols relative to a dedicated physical channel and supplied to a radio transmission stage. The encoding and multiplexing stage and/or the radio transmission stage ensure greater protection against noise through the first dedicated transport channel than through the second dedicated transport channel.

Abstract: A compact capacitively coupled electrode structure for use in a gas plasma reactor/generator is disclosed. The electrode structure comprises a parallel plate type anode and cathode spaced to define a gas flow path or volume therebetween. A plurality of electrically conductive fin elements are interposed in the space between the anode and cathode. The fin elements substantially increase the ratio of electrode surface area to volume, and subdivide the gas flow path or volume, thereby substantially increasing the efficiency of plasma gas processing that is possible over a broad range of operating parameters, without substantially increasing the spacing between the anode and cathode. Static or closed operation is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a multi-anode/multi-cathode electrode assembly embodying the basic electrode structure and a highly efficient and compact gas plasma reactor/generator employing the assembly.

Abstract: A magnetic recording disk is patterned into discrete magnetic and nonmagnetic regions with the magnetic regions serving as the magnetic recording data bits. The magnetic recording layer comprises two ferromagnetic films separated by a nonferromagnetic spacer film. The spacer film material composition and thickness is selected such that the first and second ferromagnetic films are antiferromagnetically coupled across the spacer film. After this magnetic recording layer has been formed on the disk substrate, ions are irradiated onto it through a patterned mask. The ions disrupt the spacer film and thereby destroy the antiferromagnetic coupling between the two ferromagnetic films. As a result, in the regions of the magnetic recording layer that are ion-irradiated the first and second ferromagnetic films are essentially ferromagnetically coupled so that the magnetic moments from the ferromagnetic films are parallel and produce a magnetic moment that is essentially the sum of the moments from the two films. In the non-irradiated regions of the magnetic recording layer, the first and second ferromagnetic films remain antiferromagnetically coupled so that their magnetic moments are oriented antiparallel. The composition and thicknesses of the first and second ferromagnetic films are selected such that essentially no magnetic field is detectable at a predetermined distance above the magnetic recording layer corresponding to the height that the magnetic recording head would be located.

Abstract: Energy detect with auto pair select. The present invention  is operable without 'a priori' knowledge of the pairs' connectivity. In addition, the present invention is operable within systems performing automatic detection of connectivity in systems that employ the Ethernet based media dependent interface crossover (MDIX). Where there has been some cross-over of pairs within the system, a situation not uncommon in many networks, the present invention is operable to perform energy management even without having any knowledge of the pair connectivity. Knowledge relating to the energy of multiple pairs is used to perform energy detect and management. A state machine operates in performing the analysis of the energy using a qualified energy level. The present invention is also operable within systems that do not employ auto-negotiation. In systems where auto-negotiation is performed, the present invention is performed before the auto-negotiation to determine if an operable partner exists within the network.

Abstract: A proxy switch, communication methods, and communication logic for use in a mobile network are described. A proxy switch is deployed between a base station subsystem and a mobile station center. It receives signaling messages and either retransmits them, blocks them, converts them, or siphons them to an alternative network. Besides providing an ability to offload offload mobile traffic it provides a platform for new communication services. The proxy switch includes signaling message handling logic that receives signaling messages from the MSC and BS in accordance with a mobile signaling protocol. State logic maintains state information of call sessions and mobile stations (MSs) used within the mobile communications network. Message interception logic detects whether a signaling message from an MSC is a new call originating message and if an MS addressed in such a new call originating message is involved in a call. The message interception logic also prevents the new call originating message from being forwarded to the BS servicing the addressed MS. Message conversion logic converts the new call originating message to a feature notification message, and message transmission logic issues the feature notification message to the BS servicing the addressed MS.
