Abstract: Measurements (100) of the load being carried on the control channel (38) of a cellular telephone network (10) air interface (26) are made and then processed to identify (108) a maximum permitted short message service message length for control channel transmission. Short message service messages with lengths less (114) than the permitted maximum are authorized for transmission (120) over the control channel. Any short message service message having a length exceeding (122) the determined maximum length, however, is refused authorization for control channel transmission. The refused messages are either saved (126) for control channel transmission at a later time when the measured loading permits or transmitted (128) over the traffic channel (36) portion of the air interface.

Abstract: On fabrique des structures à pointes de contact sur des substrats sacrificiels en vue d'un assemblage ultérieur à des éléments d'interconnexion, tels que des éléments d'interconnexion composites, des éléments d'interconnexion monolithiques, des aiguilles au tungstène de cartes à sondes, des bosses de contact de sondes à membrane et analogues. La relation spatiale existant entre les structures à pointes peut être définie par lithographie et se conformer à des tolérances très étroites. La composition métallique de ces structures à pointes est indépendante de celle de l'élément d'interconnexion auquel elles sont fixées par brasage, placage ou autre procédé analogue. Ces structures à pointes de contact sont dotées de caractéristiques de contact s'agissant de leur topologie ( petites, précises, en saillie et non planes), leur forme ressemblant par exemple à celle de pyramides tronquées, qui assurent l'optimisation des connexions électriques à pression réalisées ultérieurement avec les bornes de composants électroniques. L'invention se rapporte également à des structures à pointes de contact oblongues, conçues pour servir d'éléments de contact à ressort sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les assembler à des éléments de contact élastiques. De manière générale, l'invention se rapporte à la fabrication (préfabrication) de structures à pointes de contact relativement 'parfaites' (dites 'pointes') et à leur assemblage avec des éléments d'interconnexion relativement 'imparfaits' ayant pour but l'amélioration des capacités globales des éléments d'interconnexion 'à pointes' ainsi produits.

Abstract: An expandable keyboard in accordance with the present invention provides a full-size or expanded keyboard for typing which folds to minimize size during transport or storage, and can be converted to substantially twice its folded length for use. Its use of sliding segments permits a straight hinge line for folding. Its operating mechanism supports a large number of electrical interconnections between the hinged wing section or sections and the central platform, and provides for straight-line engagement as well as environmental and ESD protection of the mating electrical connectors. It permits the operation of removable modules such as PCMCIA cards or fixed circuitry such as speakers or keypads in the wing section or sections in both their open and closed positions. It includes a central keyboard assembly and a first assembly comprising a first segment and a first wing. The central keyboard assembly includes one or more keys and a platform. The first wing is pivotally connected along one side to one side of the platform about a first axis and is pivotable to a closed position where the first wing rests substantially on the platform and to an open position where the first wing provides an extension of the platform. The first segment is slidably connected to the first wing and is moveable to a first position which exposes the first axis and permits the first wing to pivot about the first axis and to a second position which covers the first axis and substantially prevents the first wing from pivoting about the first axis. The expandable keyboard may also include a second assembly comprising a second segment and a second wing, pivotally connected along one side of the platform about a second axis, which operates in the same manner as the first wing.
