| 20120077323 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR REDUCING DAMAGING BREAKDOWN IN GATE DIELECTRICS - The present invention, in one aspect, provides an integrated circuit that comprises a first region of transistors having gate structures with a low dopant concentration, and a second region of transistors having gate structures with a dopant concentration substantially higher than the gate structures of the first region, and wherein the transistors in the first region comprise a substantial portion of the integrated circuit. The transistors may include a resistor region located between an upper portion of the gate and the gate dielectric. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110286352 | WIRELESS DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISCRIMINATING RADAR TRANSMISSIONS FROM WIRELESS NETWORK TRANSMISSIONS AND WIRELESS NETWORK HAVING RADAR-AVOIDANCE CAPABILITY - The disclosure provides a wireless device for use in a wireless network, systems and methods for identifying radar signals and for giving the wireless network a radar-avoidance capability. In one embodiment, the wireless device includes: (1) a pulse analyzer configured to make a determination whether a received pulse is a radar pulse and not a wireless network pulse and (2) a pulse reporter coupled to the pulse analyzer and configured to generate, if the determination is positive, a report thereof for transmission over the wireless network to a central aggregation node thereof. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110281618 | RETRACTABLE ROTATABLE CAMERA MODULE FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A mobile communication device and a camera module are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the mobile communication device includes: (1) a main body having attaching means for attaching a camera module, the attaching means comprising means for automatically moving the camera module from the retracted position to the exposed position employing electrical energy and (2) a camera module having complementary attaching means to the main body, such that the camera module is movable with respect to the main body from a retracted position to an exposed position, is wholly detachable from the mobile communication device and is rotatable in the exposed position about at least one axis of rotation. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20090143113 | PORTABLE CELL PHONE AND A PROXIMITY REGULATION SYSTEM FOR USE WITH A PORTABLE CELL PHONE - Proximity regulation systems for use with a portable cell phone and portable cell phones are disclosed. In one embodiment, a portable cell phone includes a proximity regulation system having a location sensing subsystem configured to determine a location of a portable cell phone proximate a user by determining a mode of operation of the portable cell phone. A power governing subsystem is coupled to the location sensing subsystem and configured to determine a proximity transmit power level of the portable cell phone based on the location. | 06-04-2009 |
