Abstract: Provided are methods (50, 70, 100) and systems (10) of managing handoffs (28) in a wireless communication system (10) having different types of vocoders (30, 32). Some embodiments include translating (58) state memory (56) of a first vocoder (30) to a second vocoder (32) using a state memory transcoder (34). The state memory (56) may be delayed (62) to align differences in algorithmic delays between the first vocoder (30) and the second vocoder (32). In one embodiment, a speech signal (76) may be decoded (74) from the first vocoder (30), delayed (78), and encoded (82) to the second vocoder (32). Furthermore, for a period of time (114, 116) during and/or adjacent to the handoff (28), the first vocoder (30) may output with decreasing amplitude (110) while the second vocoder (32) outputs with increasing amplitude (112). Such techniques may be used alone (50, 70) or in combination (100).

Abstract: Processes and systems for use in reverse engineering integrated circuits determine functionality through analysis of junctions responding to external radiation. Semiconductor devices include a number of p-n junctions grouped according to interconnected functional cells. A surface of the semiconductor device is illuminated by radiation, e.g., by a laser or an electron beam, producing electron-hole pairs. Such pairs give rise to detectable currents that can be used to determine locations of irradiated junctions. By scanning a surface of the device in such a manner, a layout of at least some of the junctions can be obtained. The layout can be used to identify functional cells according to a lookup process. By selectively providing input test vectors to the device and repeating the scanning process, first level functional cells can be identified. A netlist of interconnected functional cells can thus be determined and expanded by repeating the process with different test vectors.
