In present systems, all user populations are restricted to using a single vocoder for a given channel rate. This restricts the system's ability to provide: * Optimizations for different speakers.

The integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network (iDEN) system provides its users with the ability to send and receive alphanumeric pages or "short messages." The iDEN Short Message Service Center (SMSC) allows users to send custom text pages or predefined text pages such as "CALL HOME" and "CALL. OFFICE" to iDEN Subscriber...

This memo specifies a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) binding to the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol core (BEEP). A SOAP binding describes how SOAP messages are transmitted in the network.

The present invention simplifies email correspondence by making it possible to store multiple addresses under one email alias so that a user can choose to send a note to one or more of the addressees email servers. In particular, the present invention allows incoming email notes to be shown as coming from an alias as...

Multirate signal processing is out of the unique advantages of discrete-time signal processing in the domain of signal processing. The area of multirate signal processing is very broad. It includes basic topics such as decimation system and interpolation system, and more involved topics such as perfect reconstruction...

Many semiconductor processes have layers with high sheet resistivity that are used to generate high value resistors. Typically, the resistance of such a layer will be well controlled at room temperature but will have a large positive temperature coeffi- cient of resistance (TCR). If a small current with a low TC is...

The reverse discharge protection diode is a series diode on the battery's charger side B+ line which is used to prevent the battery from being discharged in an unplugged charger or outside the charger due to inadvertent shorting of the charger side B+ and B- contacts.

The MAIN/STANDBY feature uses one station to "backup" another station in case of failure. The STANDBY station is required to have the contigu- ration information (Personality codeplug) identical to the MAIN station loaded prior to installation. Currently, the Conventional MAIN/STANDBY feature, as implemented in the...

In the singulation of semiconductor units from a matrix board (leadframe), such as the BGA style product, it is necessary for the board to be held firmly in place. If the board is allowed to move during the router singulation, the packages may not be within the specified package outline. Also, to allow for high...

One of the time-critical tasks in the fetch unit of a high performance microprocessor is the calcula- tion of relative branch targets, This involves adding an offset specified in the instruction with the current fetch address. This relative branch target address is then used to fetch the next instruction, The branch...
