| 20080291988 | METHOD FOR TESTING A RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) RECEIVER AND RELATED METHODS - A method for testing a radio frequency (RF) receiver may include measuring a plurality of bit error levels for the RF receiver at a given RF frequency. The method may further include applying a Huber function to the measured plurality of bit error levels to generate a bit error ratio (BER) estimate for the RF receiver. The method would also include using the BER estimate to generate a sensitivity for the RE receiver. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080311871 | SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING TOTAL ISOTROPIC SENSITIVITY (TIS) USING TARGET RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR (RSSI) VALUE AND RELATED METHODS - A test method is for determining total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) of a mobile wireless communications device using an RF source controllable to a plurality of source values having a relatively small uncertainty associated therewith. The mobile wireless communications device may includes an antenna and a RF receiver coupled to the antenna and outputting an RSSI value having a relatively large uncertainty associated therewith. The method may include measuring a sensitivity of the RF receiver, and measuring an antenna gain pattern for the antenna based upon controlling the RF source to respective source values causing the RE receiver to generate a same target RSSI value as the RF source and wireless communications device are angularly moved relative to one another to thereby reduce the relatively large uncertainty of the RSSI value. The TIS may be determined based upon the measured sensitivity of the RF receiver and the measured antenna gain pattern. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080246668 | MULTIPLE-ELEMENT ANTENNA WITH FLOATING ANTENNA ELEMENT - A multiple-element antenna for a wireless communication device is provided. The antenna comprises a first antenna element having a first operating frequency band and a floating antenna element positioned adjacent the first antenna element to electromagnetically couple to the first antenna element. The floating antenna element is configured to operate in conjunction with the first antenna element within a second operating frequency band. A feeding port connected to the first antenna element connects the first antenna element to communications circuitry and exchanges communication signals in both the first operating frequency band and the second operating frequency band between the multiple-element antenna and the communications circuitry. In a wireless mobile communication device having a transceiver and a receiver, the feeding port is connected to both the transceiver and the receiver. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20100036850 | PROVIDING EXECUTING PROGRAMS WITH RELIABLE ACCESS TO NON-LOCAL BLOCK DATA STORAGE - Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store block data that may be accessed over one or more networks by programs executing on other physical computing systems. Users may create block data storage volumes that are each stored by at least two of the server block data storage systems, and may initiate use of such volumes by one or more executing programs, such as in a reliable manner by enabling an automatic switch to a second volume copy if a first volume copy becomes unavailable. A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other physical computing systems at that data center. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100036851 | MANAGING ACCESS OF MULTIPLE EXECUTING PROGRAMS TO NON-LOCAL BLOCK DATA STORAGE - Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store network-accessible block data storage volumes that may be used by programs executing on other physical computing systems. A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other physical computing systems at that data center. If a program using a volume becomes unavailable, another program (e.g., another copy of the same program) may in some situations obtain access to and continue to use the same volume, such as in an automatic manner in some such situations. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100036931 | PROVIDING A RELIABLE BACKING STORE FOR BLOCK DATA STORAGE - Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store copies of network-accessible block data storage volumes that may be used by programs executing on other physical computing systems, and at least some stored data for some volumes may also be stored on remote archival storage systems. A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other computing systems at that data center, while the archival storage systems may be located outside the data center. The data stored on the archival storage systems may be used in various ways, including to reduce the amount of data stored in at least some volume copies. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100037031 | PROVIDING EXECUTING PROGRAMS WITH ACCESS TO STORED BLOCK DATA OF OTHERS - Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store copies of network-accessible block data storage volumes that may be used by programs executing on other physical computing systems, and snapshot copies of some volumes may also be stored (e.g., on remote archival storage systems). A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other computing systems at that data center, while the archival storage systems may be located outside the data center. The snapshot copies of volumes may be used in various ways, including to allow users to obtain their own copies of other users' volumes (e.g., for a fee). | 02-11-2010 |
