Granted: 2006-06-27
Abstract: An accelerated roller apparatus on a handheld electronic communications device that handles urgency conditions. The device includes a manipulable mechanism that is capable of generating a manipulation-related signal. Changes in the signal occur whenever motion is imparted upon the manipulable mechanism. An urgency activity detector module generates an urgency message when the changes in the signal indicate an urgency condition. The urgency activity detector module uses the signal changes to determine the urgency condition based upon timing of successive manipulations of the manipulable mechanism satisfying a preselected timing threshold. The urgency message is then used by an application operating on the device.

Title: Wavelength-dependent optical signal processing using an angle-to-offset module
Inventor: IYER RAJIV
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-11-20
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: An optical device comprises a dispersion element, a reflector, and an angle-to-offset (ATO) element. The angle-to-offset (ATO) element has optical power. The dispersion element is positioned in or near a focal plane of the ATO element and adapted to separate an input wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) light beam received from an input port of the optical device into two or more channel light beams. The reflector is positioned in or near a focal plane of the ATO element and arranged to receive the channel light beams from the dispersion element via the ATO element. The reflector is designed to reflect at least one of the channel light beams toward a respective output port of the optical device. With this arrangement, the dispersion element, reflector and ATO element cooperate to optically demultiplex the input WDM light beam. Additional optical elements arranged in the propagation path between the reflector and the output port(s) and/or between the input port and the dispersion element can be used to provide further optical signal processing functionality such as dynamic channel equalization, add drop, or wavelength switching.

Abstract: A method and system to facilitate image guided surgery by projecting onto th e patient an image corresponding to markings made on pre-acquired images of th e patient is disclosed. The image is projected by an imaging projecting device such as a laser which emits coherent visible light. The position of the patient and the image are determined in the same frame of reference. The markings made on the pre-acquired images are then mapped onto the corresponding locations of the patient. The image projecting device then projects images onto the patient corresponding to the markings made on the p re- acquired images. The images projected by the image projecting device can be temporarily or permanently marked onto the patient so that they are visible after the image projecting device stops emitting radiation. Use of aphotodynamic substance can also be used in conjunction with the light emitt ed from the laser to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the patient.</SDOA B>

Title: Method and apparatus for compensating local oscillator frequency error through environmental control
Inventor: PATRICK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H03J7/04
Filed: 2001-05-08
Granted: 2009-11-10
Abstract: The frequency error of an oscillator is minimized by characterizing the operating environment of the oscillator. An electronic device monitors parameters that are determined to have an effect on the frequency accuracy of the internal frequency source. Temperature is one parameter known to have an effect on the frequency of the internal frequency source and a primary contributor to device temperature is the RF Power Amplifier (PA). The electronic device collects and stores the activity level of the PA. The effective PA duty cycle over a predetermined period of time is calculated. The LO operating environment is stabilized by operating the PA at the calculated duty cycle when the LO is required to operate in a high stability mode.

Title: Methods for discovering network address and port translators
Inventor: ROSHKO MICHAEL E
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2003-07-21
Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: Network Address and Port Translators (NATs) have the potential to interrupt the end-to-end nature of Internet applications, thereby threatening end-to-end security and other end-to-end functions. Thus it is important to be able to discover the existence of NATs and their type. Accordingly there is provided a method of discovering the existence and type of NAT that involves instigating a test call between media endpoints on a Media Gateway (MG) and a Media Gateway Controller (MGC). The MGC is able to deduce the existence of a NAT by examining the media packets sent to its endpoint. If a NAT is determined to be present the MGC instructs the endpoint on the MG to send media packets to another endpoint on the MGC. By comparing the IP addresses and ports of the media packets received at the endpoints of the MGC, the MGC is able to deduce whether the type of NAT is Cone or Symmetric.
