Abstract: A method for transmitting formatted content to a mobile device having a small display screen comprises retrieving a page of formatted content, rendering the page as a graphic such as a JPEG that is sized for display on the small display screen, and transmitting the graphic to the requesting device for display. Hyperlinks are collected and sent with the graphic and are presented as menu options on the device for selection by a user. The user may then request a zoom-in to a portion of the graphic and have a corresponding portion of the page transmitted to the device. The returned web page portion operates as a typical formatted content page, permitting the user to read the contents, select a hyperlink or enter data into a form. A method for displaying a large graphic files on a mobile device having a small display screen comprises requesting the graphic file from a server, in response to the request, receiving the graphic file scaled for display and an identification of portions of the graphic file; displaying said graphic file and an overlaid grid corresponding to said identification of portions of said graphic file. Using the grid, a portion of the graphic file is selected and requested from the server, received and displayed.

Abstract: A transceiver includes a transmitter and a homodyne receiver, wherein the receiver is used to process both antenna-received and antenna-reflected signals. Thus, during a receive mode, for example, the receiver downconverts antenna-received signals to baseband signals, which are then processed to recover receive signal information. Then, during a transmit mode for example, antenna-reflected transmit signals are fed back to the receiver, which is retuned to the desired transmit frequency, and thus downconverts the reflected transmit signals to baseband signals. These baseband signals are then processed to obtain a characterization of impedance mismatch between the transceiver's transmitter and the associated antenna. An adjustable matching network disposed in the transmit signal path thus may be adjusted based on the characterization to reduce the mismatch. Such configurations may be used with either single-band or multi-band embodiments of the transceiver, and the transceiver may be used in both TDMA and CDMA communication systems.

Abstract: Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable medium, mechanisms, and means for merging indications of matching items of multiple groups and possibly associated with skip conditions to identify winning entries of particular use for implementing access control lists. Indications are received typically from an associative memory bank indicating which locations were matched during a lookup operation. Each of the entries is typically associated with one or more hierarchical groups and a skip or no-skip condition. The matching entries are merged to identify one or more wining entries, these being matching entries not in a group that is skipped. A group is typically skipped if the highest priority matching entry of the particular group is associated with a skip condition. A priority encoder can be used to identify a single highest priority winning entry from the winning entries.
