20120209413Background Audio on Mobile Devices - The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology in which a mobile device service plays background audio as instructed by a third party audio player application. The service continues to play background audio after the audio player application is deactivated from the foreground, e.g., as another application becomes the foreground application. Also described is launching agents to obtain additional information and/or to handle custom audio formats, and handling of user requests from a universal (system) volume control or the audio player application (when in the foreground).08-16-2012

20120119745BATTERY MONITOR WITH CORRECTION FOR INTERNAL OHMIC MEASUREMENTS OF BATTERY CELLS IN PARALLEL CONNECTED BATTERY STRINGS - A battery monitor determines an internal resistance of a battery cell of a battery having parallel connected battery strings which accounts for errors introduced by the parallel connected battery strings. When determining the internal resistance of a battery cell, the battery monitor determines a baseline intercell resistance of an intercell connecting the negative terminal of the battery cell to the positive terminal of an adjacent battery. The battery monitor then applies a momentary load across the battery cell and immediately prior to releasing the load, measures the voltage across the battery cell (loaded voltage) and the voltage across the intercell. The battery monitor then calculates the current flowing through the intercell (intercell current) by dividing the measured voltage across the intercell by the determined intercell resistance. Immediately after releasing the load, the battery monitor measures the voltage across the battery cell (recovered voltage) and determines the battery cell internal resistance by dividing the difference between the recovered voltage and the loaded voltage by the intercell current.05-17-2012

20080288691METHOD AND APPARATUS OF LOCK TRANSACTIONS PROCESSING IN SINGLE OR MULTI-CORE PROCESSOR - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of lock transactions processing in a single or multi-core processor. An embodiment of the present invention is a processor with one or more processing cores, an address arbitrator, where one or more processing cores are configured to submit a lock transaction request to the address arbitrator corresponding to a specific instruction in response to the execution of the specific instruction. The lock transaction request includes a lock variable address asserted on an address bus. The processor further includes a lock controller for performing lock transaction processing in response to the lock transaction request, and notifying processing result to the processing core from which the lock transaction request was sent. The processor further includes a switching device, coupled to the address arbitrator and the lock controller, for identifying the lock transaction request and notifying the lock transaction request to the lock controller.11-20-2008
