Abstract: A system for managing and filtering incoming messages to a mobile device is configured to receive incoming messages using multiple formats, such as e-mail, Short Messaging System (SMS) messages, Multimedia Message System (MMS) messages, or other electronic messaging formats. One or more message filters are used to consolidate and display high importance messages by the device in a single location. The message filters may be configured to select incoming messages based on factors such as the identity of the sender and the destination account. After receiving a new message, the system compares characteristics of the incoming message to the key characteristics defined by one or more of the filters. If an incoming message matches one of the filters, the system adds the matching message to a list of high importance messages. The system provides a separate user interface to display the high importance messages.

Abstract: A pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal [303] controls a driver signal [304] applied to a load device, such as a lamp [106]. A feedback loop samples the driver signal and software at the device adjusts a pulse width of the PWM signal to ensure that a current level of the driver signal is maintained within specified limits. The feedback loop employs a sampling trigger signal [305] to control sampling of the driver signal. An asserting edge and successive negating edge of the sampling trigger signal are established based on comparison of a counter value to a single programmable time value. Accordingly, the sampling trigger signal will have a fixed pulse width.
