Abstract: Location aware handheld portable computing devices, methods of operating the same, and computer architectures are described. In one described embodiment, a handheld portable computing device determines its location. The device can then acquire digital data that enables a user of the device to interact with a location environment. The digital data can comprise different types of data that permit environmental interaction. One type of data comprises one or more applets that can be loaded and executed by the device. Other types of data include code download pointers such as URLs that can point to Internet-accessible locations from which applets can be obtained. The device can include an applet cache that can maintain one or more applets for future use on the device. When a device location changes, the device can flush or otherwise empty the cache of apples that are no longer needed. In one particular embodiment, the device determines it location by accessing one or more hierarchical tree structures each of which comprising multiple nodes that represent physical or logical locations. The device, or software code that is executing on the device, can then traverse at least one node on the one or more hierarchical tree structures to ascertain a device location.

Abstract: A receiver detects a highly precisely approximate
value of the power of a reception signal with a high speed.
A first comparator 11 compares a component I and component
Q of a reception signal with each other to determine which
one of these components is larger or smaller to thereby
output a larger component as a first output value and
output a smaller component as a second output value, a
3-bit shift register 12 multiplies the first output value
by 1/8, a subtractor 13 subtracts the by-1/8-multiplied
value from the first output value, a 1-bit shift register
14 multiplies the second output value by 1/2, a 2-bit
shift register 15 multiplies the by-1/2-multiplied value
by 1/4, a first adder 16 adds the first output value and
the by-1/4-multipliedvalue, a second adder 17 adds an
output value from the subtractor 13 and an output value
from the 1-bit shift register 14, and a second comparator
18 compares the results of these two additions with each
other to determine which one of these results is larger
or smaller and output the value of a larger one thereof
as an approximate value of the power of the reception
signal.

IPC: F01L1/344
Filed: 2001-02-05
Abstract: A camshaft (126) has a vane (160) secured to an end thereof for
non-oscillating rotation therewith. The camshaft also carries a sprocket (132) that can
rotate with the camshaft but oscillatable with respect to the camshaft. The vane has
opposed lobes (160a, 160b) that are received in opposed recesses (132a, 132b),
respectively, of the sprocket. The recesses have greater circumferential extent than the
lobes to permit the vane and sprocket to oscillate with respect to one another, and thereby
permit the camshaft to change in phase relative to a crankshaft whose phase relative to the
sprocket is fixed by virtue of a chain drive extending therebetween. The camshaft phase
tends to change in reaction to pulses that it experiences during its normal operation, and it
is permitted to change only in a given direction, either to advance or retard, by selectively
blocking or permitting the flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid, preferably engine oil, from
the recesses by controlling the position of a spool within a valve body (192) of a control
valve in response to a signal indicative of an engine operating condition from an engine
control unit. The sprocket has a passage (252) extending therethrough the passage
extending parallel to and being spaced from a longitudinal axis of rotation of the camshaft.
A pin (250) is slidable within the passage and is resiliently urged by a spring (254) to a
position where a free end of the pin projects beyond the passage. The vane carries a plate
(168) with a pocket (168f), which is aligned with the passage in a predetermined sprocket
to camshaft orientation. The pocket receives hydraulic fluid, and when the fluid pressure is
at its normal operating level, there will be sufficient pressure within the pocket to keep the 
free end of the pin from entering the pocket. At low levels of hydraulic pressure, however,
the free end of the pin will enter the pocket and latch the camshaft and the sprocket
together in a predetermined orientation, until hydraulic pressure within the pocket returns
to a suitable level to permit the camshaft to properly oscillate relative to the sprocket.

Abstract: A vehicle drive axle includes a differential where high pressure is delivered
from a stationary source to a rotating source to actuate a differential clutch (34). The drive
axle includes an axle housing, a first rotatable axle shaft (12) for driving a first wheel, and a
second rotatable axle shaft (12) for driving a second wheel. The differential controls
rotational speed and torque supplied to the first and second axle shafts (12,12). The
differential clutch (34) is used to selectively lock the axle shafts (12,12) together when the vehicle
experiences unfavorable road conditions. An actuating mechanism is used to control
the differential clutch (34). The actuating mechanism includes a stationary piston (48) actuated
by a fluid force and a rotating piston (52) actuated by the stationary piston (48). This stationary
piston (48) moves the rotating piston (52) causing the rotating member (52) to displace a volume of
fluid to actuate the differential clutch (34).

Abstract: Adapting to load currents which differ by more
than 100 times between a scanning mode and a hold mode,
a frequency of pump operation is decided according to
the maximum value of the load currents, and circuit
elements of a power supply, for example, such as
capacitance of a capacitor for pump operation or a
smoothing capacitor, element configurations of
switching elements, or capacitance or resistance value
of a CR oscillator are set based on this frequency, so
that a load current detector lowers the frequency of
the pump operation under light load to reduce a self-loss
of power in the power supply. This realizes a
charge-pump power supply which is installed in a liquid
crystal display device of a terminal device of a
portable phone, with reduced power consumption under
light load and a longer standby time.

mobile within the porous carrier when in the moist state,
and in a second zone spatially distinct from the first
zone unlabelled specific binding reagent for the same

Abstract: A system and method are provided for linearizing the tone
scale of individual colors in a multi-color printing system, by deriving a
prescribed tone scale of individual colors in a single or multi-color printing
system. Full linear ink gradations are printed on multiple substrates, and a
linearization table is generated with multiple points for each of the multiple
substrates and/or ink gradations. A polynomial curve is fitted to the points of
each linearization table to generate polynomial curves. At least one point in
the polynomial curves is selected, that shows high variation from one curve to
a next curve, and coefficients of a group of polynomial curves are plotted as
functions of the value of the at least one point. The range of prediction can be
as narrow or as broad as an application requires. Finally, a prescribed tone
scale table is derived from the polynomial curves and the at least one point. A
measured set of values can be compared against a predefined database, and the
most applicable transformation is then selected. The data can be corrected to
any suitable curve shape.
