20080300027	Systems and Techniques for Reducing Power Consumption in a Mobile Computing Device - Various embodiments are directed to systems and techniques for reducing power consumption in a mobile computing device. In one or more embodiments, a mobile computing device may be arranged to determine a user environment based on detected antenna impedance or detected current. After the user environment is determined, the mobile computing device may confirm that total radiation power (TRP) for the mobile computing device at an initial conducted power level exceeds the minimum TRP threshold required by the network carrier to receive acceptable quality of service (QoS). Based on the excess TRP for the particular user environment, the mobile computing device may determine a reduced conducted power level to be input to an antenna system. Accordingly, significant power savings may be achieved. To save additional power, the mobile computing device may automatically adjust and/or improve antenna impedance matching based on user environment allowing a further reduction in conducted power. Other embodiments are described and claimed.	12-04-2008

20080239119	IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUE - An image-capturing device includes a lens, a grid of light-sensitive elements, a sampling mechanism, and an image generation module. The lens is configured to be triggerable to open for a given duration. The grid is positioned so that when the lens is open, light is cast onto the grid. Each element of the grid is configured to provide a charge response to light. The sampling mechanism is coupled to the grid to repeatedly sample the grid during the duration by detecting whether the charge response of individual elements that comprise the grid exceeds a designated threshold level. The sampling mechanism records information that is indicative of a time in the duration in which the charge response of individual elements exceeds the designated threshold level. The image creation module generates an image corresponding to the scene using the information recorded by the sampling mechanism.	10-02-2008
