As technology continues to shrink the electronic components that go into pagers, the pager housing can become a convenient place to store other articles people wish to carry with them. With the volume required for the pager circuitry steadily reducing, additional space becomes available within the housing which can be...

A large part of the paging market consist of women users. By combining the alert mechanism (vibrator, LED, transducer, etc.) into a purse strap or brief case handle, the female market is provided with an attractive alterna- tive to the bulky traditional pager attached to a belt, pocket or wrist. This is accomplished...

In a pager with a microcomputer based decoder, this invention will allow a microprocessor to run at a lower bus rate when doing address correlations. During the process of address correlation, the current micro- processors require a substantial amount of ROM and/or CPU cycles to calculate the weight (number of l's) in...

Pagers can be inadvertently switched to the "off position which can cause the entire memory (all mes- sages including the locked messages) to be erased. When this occurs, the user is not aware of the pager being in the "off' position therefore not receiving pages.

Personal communications devices such as pagers and personal communicators are getting smaller to meet the market need for portability and wearability. However, the range of features keeps increasing, and many of the more advanced devices in these categories are presently equipped with keypads for control and data...

This invention provides a position sensitive switch that can be used in h4AN DOWN radio applications. Current switches today use mercury trapped inside a chamber with two conducting probes. This device would eliminate the need for mercury. It would use a specially shaped cavity that under conditions of a tilt from...

In radio products today an important parameter to have is wide bandwidth. Typically bandwidths of ten to twenty megahertz are achieved in today's modem designs. However, when requirements for exceptional selectivity are needed these wide bandwidths are. not possible. High selectivity is normally needed in repeater...

In order for the user to recognize where the base station is located, this in+ntion starts sending a mes- sage from the base to thd handset which contains the address or ID for that basd~atler authentication has been successfully completed. The message can be sent auto- matically upon registratioh or by entering a...

The purpose of this paper will show how to add a Universal Programmable Remote Control to an existing cordless telephone.
