US Patent:

58706852, Feb 9, 1999

Filed:

Sep 4, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/706519

Inventors:

James M. Flynn - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Ericsson Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC

International Classification:

H04B 140

US Classification:

455573

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling the operations of a battery-powered mobile station based on the capacity of its battery. In accordance with the present invention, the mobile station monitors the capacity of its battery to determine whether it has fallen below any one of a plurality of threshold capacity values. When the capacity of the battery falls below the highest of these threshold values, the mobile station sends a registration cancellation message to the serving system and then disables the transmit operation in order to conserve power. Other operations of the mobile station are systematically disabled if the battery capacity falls below one or more lower threshold values.

Abstract:

A radio communications system includes plural radios with each radio having a microprocessor, a modem, and corresponding automatic number identification (ANI) information as well as a predetermined pattern of tones or digital codes corresponding to a particular radio frequency channel stored in memory. For each transmission, the radio microprocessor encodes the corresponding radio identification data that provides the encoded radio identification data to the radio modem in parallel format. The radio modem converts the encoded identification data into a serial data stream at the same time that the microprocessor is generating the predetermined pattern of tones or digital codes. Thereafter, the generated pattern of tones or digital codes is combined with the serial data stream and simultaneously transmitted over the transmission radio frequency channel. The modem also assists the microprocessor in the reception of radio identification data while the microprocessor is detecting received channel guard information. Because the modem has a data transmission frequency which exceeds the transmission frequency of the ANI data, each bit of ANI data is represented using a particular binary pattern (or its complement) to simulate an output at the modem corresponding to an ANI signalling carrier frequency.

Appl. No.:

8/761176

Inventors:

James Marvin Flynn - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Ericsson Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC

International Classification:

G02F 11335
G09G 500
G09G 336
F21V 916

US Classification:

349 71

Abstract:

An LCD has a layer of phosphorescent material which emits light at a predetermined frequency and intensity following stimulation by either ambient light or a backlight. In a preferred embodiment, a backlight LED is driven by low duty cycle voltage pulses which periodically refresh the phosphorescence of the phosphorescent layer. The phosphorescent layer may be provided by coating the rear polarizer of the LCD with a phosphor-based emulsion or by applying a thin film of phosphorescent material to the back of the LCD. In an embodiment of the invention, a transflective LCD has a layer of phosphorescent material disposed between a rear polarizer and a transflector.
