| 20110285147 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR ENERGY STORAGE - Some embodiments relate to an energy storage and generation system, comprising a cable system having a first end portion located at a first elevation and a second end portion located at a second elevation, a plurality of mass carriers supported by the cable system, one or more motor generators coupled with the cable system and with an energy grid, a control system in communication with at least the one or more motor generators, a first mass pile area configured to store mass medium positioned at the first elevation, and a second mass pile area configured to store mass medium positioned at the second elevation that can be higher than the first elevation. The one or more motor generators can move the cable system in an energy storing state and be moved by the cable in an energy generating state. The system can store energy by transferring mass medium from the first mass pile area to the second mass pile area, and can generate energy by transferring mass medium from the second mass pile area to the first mass pile area. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20100166019 | SUBSCRIBER LINE INTERFACE CIRCUITRY WITH INTEGRATED SERIAL INTERFACES - Methods and apparatus for communicating include communicating frames of data having a first timeslot allocation of s timeslots serially from a first device to a second device using a first unidirectional data line at a frequency f | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100166173 | SUBSCRIBER LINE INTERFACE CIRCUITRY WITH INTEGRATED SERIAL INTERFACES - Methods and apparatus for communicating include coupling first and second devices with a first unidirectional data line, a second unidirectional data line, and a clock line. Frames of data are serially communicated between the first and second devices using the first and second unidirectional data lines. The frame format of a frame carried by the first unidirectional data line is distinct from a frame format of a frame carried by the second unidirectional data line. Each frame is synchronized with a clock signal carried by the clock line. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20120075059 | SECURITY SYSTEM PROVIDING TEMPORARY PERSONNEL ACCESS BASED UPON NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION AND RELATED METHODS - A security system may include a plurality of electronic devices, each having a unique identification (ID) associated therewith and configured to generate a temporary security code based upon the unique ID. The system may further include at least one mobile wireless communications device including a first Near-Field Communication (NFC) circuit, and a mobile controller configured to receive the temporary security code from a given electronic device from among the plurality of electronic devices. The system may also include an access control device associated with a personnel access position and including a second NFC sensor and a security controller. The security controller may be configured to receive the temporary security code from the first NFC sensor via NFC communications, selectively grant personnel access based upon the received temporary security code, and determine the unique ID associated with the given electronic device. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090134002 | Printed Circuit Board for a Mobile Device - A printed circuit board is provided for use in a keyboard assembly of a mobile device having a plurality of keys in a key layout. The printed circuit board has a plurality of contacts, such as dome switches, arranged in a contact layout. The contact layout is such that it can be used with a plurality of different key layouts, each actuating different combinations of contacts. Some keys in a particular key layout are overlying at least two of the plurality of contacts, and such keys actuate only one of the underlying contacts. As such, a common printed circuit board can be used for a plurality of complementary mobile device designs having different key layouts, thereby allowing a manufacturer to realize cost efficiencies. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20090221272 | Apparatus and Method of Input and Finger Print Recognition on a Handheld Electronic Device - An apparatus for input and fingerprint recognition comprises a touch surface, and a data processor coupled to the touch surface. The touch surface comprises a first region and a second region. The second region is distinct from and coplanar with the first region and occupies a minor portion of a total surface area of the touch surface. The data processor is configured to selectively operate the touch surface in a touch input mode or a fingerprint detection mode. In the touch input mode, the data processor is configured to operate the second region at a first resolution comparable to that of the first region to detect a touch input anywhere on the touch surface. In the fingerprint detection mode, the data processor is configured to operate the second region at a higher resolution than the first resolution to detect a fingerprint on the second region. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100112984 | Apparatus and Method of Input and Finger Print Recognition on a Handheld Electronic Device - An apparatus for input and fingerprint recognition comprises a touch surface, a processor coupled to the touch surface, and instructions stored on the apparatus. The touch surface comprises a first region and a second region. The first region has a first sensor resolution, and the second region has a second sensor resolution that is greater than the first sensor resolution. The instructions configure the processor to selectively operate the touch surface in one of a touch input mode and a fingerprint mode. In the touch input mode, the processor detects a touch input anywhere on the touch surface by sampling the first and second regions at the first sensor resolution. In the fingerprint mode, the processor reads a fingerprint on the second region by sampling the second region at the second sensor resolution. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090167687 | HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH ROLLER BALL INPUT - An improved handheld electronic device includes an input apparatus, an output apparatus, and a processor apparatus. The input apparatus includes a reduced keyboard and a roller ball input. The roller ball input includes a movable portion that is substantially continuously rotatable with respect to a housing of the device and is rotatable about more than one axis to provide input. The processor apparatus includes a disambiguation routine that can output various proposed interpretations of inputs from the reduced keyboard. The roller ball input advantageously provides various inputs to the handheld electronic device without requiring significant user attention, which enables a user to direct a greater amount of attention to the output from the disambiguation routine and to other aspects of the device. The roller ball input potentially can be configured to additionally be translatable to provide an input, and additionally and/or alternatively the roller ball input can provide a tactile or other feedback to a user. | 07-02-2009 |
