Title: Method and apparatus for controlling illumination of a display in a portable wireless communication device
Inventor: MOR TAL
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2004-06-24
Abstract: A portable wireless communication device (100) having a display screen (114), a light source (116) that is capable of illuminating the display screen, and a processor (106) coupled to the light source, dynamically adjusts a period of time during which the display screen is illuminated. The processor couples power to the light source to illuminate the display screen, determines at least one illumination time parameter associated with information to be displayed on the display screen, and maintains a coupling of power to the light source for a period of time that is based on the at least one illumination time parameter. In other embodiments of the present invention, the processor may further determine to not illuminate the display screen, or to terminate illumination of the display screen prior to expiration of the period of time, based on a received instruction or a detected level of ambient light.

Title: Device and method for recording information
Inventor: BLACQUIERE JOHANNIS F R
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2004-06-17
Abstract: A device for recording records a series of blocks (42) having continuous logical addresses, e.g. digitally encoded video, on a record carrier at a corresponding physical address range. Some physical addresses are assigned to defect management areas (43). The logical addresses are translated into the physical addresses in dependence of the defect management information. The device has contiguous recording means for detecting if the allocated physical address range is interrupted by a subset of physical addresses assigned to a defect management area. If so, the subset of physical addresses is reallocated to the user data area. The series of blocks (42) is contiguously recorded extending over the subset of physical addresses. The defect management area may be eliminated, shifted to a new location (51) after the end of the recorded file or shifted to the end of the medium.

IPC: H02M11/00
Filed: 2006-11-08
Abstract: The present invention is a spike converter providing a special mode of operation of a low power fly-back converter in a very narrow duty cycle range in particular. This spike operation minimizes the size of the required reactive components such as that of the power transformer and output capacitance. The present invention automatically achieves low idle power consumption due to the nature of the feedback under fixed, narrow duty cycle or spike operation. The spike operation is defined by the lower limit of the on time of the switching element being generated by the sum of the propagation delays of a current sense comparator and an off time pulse generating comparator.
