Abstract: A solder-less printed circuit board edge connector (10) translates construction and impedance characteristics associated with a coaxial cable (20) to construction and impedance characteristics associated with a micro-strip transmission line formed on a printed circuit board (22). The solder-less printed circuit board edge connector (10) comprises a first edge connector (16), a second edge connector (16), and a 'C-shaped' ground contact (30). The first edge connector (16) receives a first coaxial cable (20) having a first signal potential and a first ground potential, and has a first slot formed therein having the first ground potential. The second edge connector (16) receives a second coaxial cable (20) having a second signal potential and a second ground potential. The second edge connector (16) has a second slot formed therein having the second the second ground potential. The 'C-shaped' ground contact (30) is electrically and mechanically coupled to the first slot having the first ground potential and the second slot having the second ground potential. The 'C-shaped' ground contact (30) has multiple 'V-shaped' spring members (32) for contacting multiple ground contacts (28) on a printed circuit board (22, 24) when the printed circuit board (22, 24) is positioned in the first slot and the second slot. Multiple 'C-shaped' ground contacts (30) may be electrically and mechanically coupled together using an extension member (52), integrally formed as a unitary unit with the multiple 'C-shaped' ground contacts (30). The extension member (52) has a notch (54) formed therein to permit the extension member (52) to bypass a signal contact (38) carrying second signal potential.

Abstract: Diode devices with superior and pre-settable characteristics and of nanometric dimensions, comprise etched insulative lines ( 8, 16, 18 ) in a conductive substrate to define between the lines charge carrier flow paths, formed as elongate channels ( 20 ) at least 100 nm long and less than 100 nm wide. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode devices are similar to a conventional diode, but both the threshold voltage (from 0V to a few volts) and the current level (from nA to muA) can be tuned by orders of magnitude by changing the device geometry. Standard silicon wafers can be used as substrates. A full family of logic gates, such as OR, AND, and NOT, can be constructed based on this device solely by simply etching insulative lines in the substrate.

opposing surface(22,59) with the input key(12,30,42,50) at a normal
operating point(16a∼16d) situated above a contact
portion (22a∼22d, 59a∼59d, 60a∼60d) of a board (22, 58) causes the input
key(12,30,42,50) to tilt in a normal oscillating direction(21a∼21d)
to effect input at the contact portion(22a∼22d,59a∼59d,60a∼60d).

key(12,30,42,50) or the opposing surface(22,59) is equipped with
guide protrusions(20a∼20d,25a∼25d,34a∼34d,47a∼47d,54a∼54d,

IPC: G10L21/02

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that dynamically applies the energy of the voice
as a control signal to modulate the volume of an input microphone signal to achieve dynamic
voice activated noise suppression. When the energy of the microphone signal is low, very little
amplification energy is applied to boost the volume of the microphone signal. If the energy is
medium to high, amplification energy is applied to the microphone output sufficient to raise the
signal level to audible levels. The perceptual effect of this is that the ambient noise appears (to
the listener) to be removed from the signal. This is due to the psychoacoustic effect that louder
signals tend to mask softer signals (even if the softer signals are noise). Generally, even in a
high noise environment, the energy of the noise signal is somewhat lower than the direct spoken
input to a microphone, due to the proximity of the typical microphone to the speaker's mouth.
When the person stops speaking, the volume of the amplified noise input immediately (within 6
- 20 milliseconds) tracks the voice energy downward and is thus perceived by the listener to be
suppressed immediately after the speaker finished their spoken utterances.

Abstract: A normal audio communication terminal can use the VoIP
technology in a mobile communications system by using an audio
communication circuit for a conventional wireless circuit, and

network in the mobile communications system, the signaling of
a CS (circuit switching) call with an RNC is designed to control
a CS-UP (CS side user plane) by communications with the CPU of
an SGSN, and the user data relating to a CS call is designed
for communications with a PSTN (public switch telephone network)
by way of an MGW through the CS-UP. Thus, an audio communication
function can be added to a packet communication device, thereby
