Title: Circuit and method for providing an auto-off and/or auto-on capability for an audio device
Inventor: GLISSMAN JOHN
IPC: H03F99/00
Filed: 2004-01-09
Abstract: A circuit (Figs. 2A-2D) and method of providing an auto-on and/or auto-off capability for an audio device, of a type having an audio plug (14) which mates with the output jack of an audio source. The portable transmitter (10) modulates audio signals from the audio source onto a carrier and transmits them to a receiver. The auto-on and auto-off capability is provided to prolong battery life and degradation of the transmitter circuit and comprises pinching off a FET (Q2) when the circuit is in an ~off~ state. This occurs when a pre-determined threshold in a capacitor (C29) is reached by not discharging that capacitor. The capacitor (C29) is discharged by dropping a comparator input below a pre-determined threshold limit when presented with an audio peak and wherein the drop in value causes the comparator output to go low, causing the capacitor to discharge and causing the FET (Q2) to supply power to the regulator.

Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: The method has five stages: Stage 1 consists of constructing a flow simulator based on physical data measured at the deposit; Stage 2 consists of determining a first analytical model linking the production of the deposit to a time function, taking into account parameters that influence production. In Stage 3 the first model is adjusted to a finite number of production values obtained from the simulator. In Stage 4 a new production value is selected from the simulator, and in Stage 5 a second model is produced by adjusting the first model in such a way that the second model interpolates the new productin value.

Abstract: A forward link repeater frequency watermarking (FLRFWM) system and method that enable accurate position location of mobile stations in areas where repeaters are present by watermarking repeated signals with repeater information. A  repeater watermarks a forward link signal with a (unique or non-unique) fast frequency modulation waveform watermark every time a signal passes through the repeater. A mobile station detects and/or identifies the fast frequency watermark on the forward link signal to determine repeater information that aids the network position determination entity or mobile station position location system in determining position location using AFLT and/or AGPS  systems. A forward link fast frequency watermarking system described herein achieves minimal impact on FL, AFLT, and GPS performance, good detection, identification and false alarm probabilities, short time-to-detect/identify, and good detection/identification sensitivity.
