Improved methods and systems for personal medical monitoring are disclosed. The monitoring yields status information pertaining to persons being monitored. Notifications, recommendations and/or actions can be initiated by examination or analysis of the status information. The status information can include health, position (location) and other information.

Personalized medical monitoring and notifications therefor

According to one embodiment, a transceiver includes: a radio transmitter including a power amplifier; a detector circuit including: a squaring circuit configured to receive an output of the power amplifier of the radio transmitter and configured to produce an output current; and a DC current absorber electrically connected to an output terminal of the squaring circuit.

Systems and methods for detecting local oscillator leakage and image tone in I/Q mixer based transceivers

Method and apparatus to analyze and present location information in an easy-to-digest manner are disclosed. In one embodiment, each piece of location information can include a piece of location-designating information and a piece of location-related information. Location-designating information is primarily for identifying location. Location-related information is information related to location-designating information. The location-designating information and the location-related information can be supplied by a mobile device. With the help of location-related information, each piece of location-designating information can be more accurately transformed into a label to help identify a location. The amount of location information can be reduced. All of the location-designating information pertaining to a given area can be consolidated into one piece of location-designating information related to the label. Consolidation of some of the information may not occur if a piece of location-related information changes by more than a preset value. To better present location information in an easy-to-digest manner, location information can be compared to standards. Presentation can be on a display with respect to a reference location.

Method and apparatus for identifying and presenting location and location-related information

Improved approaches for tracking and monitoring status of articles are disclosed. The monitoring can produce notifications to interested parties. The notifications typically contain status information pertaining to the articles being tracked. Alternatively, interested parties can gain access to status information pertaining to the articles being tracked via a website. According to one embodiment, the status information includes at least position (location) information and shipping conditions information. Also disclosed are improved approaches for monitoring real time status information impacting inventory management of a company and/or its partners. Adverse changes in the status information of specific items can be identified in real time, and changes implemented as needed.

Method and system for tracking and monitoring assets

Improved methods and systems for position acquisition and/or monitoring are disclosed. The position acquisition and/or monitoring can be performed with improved intelligence so that data acquisition, transmission and/or processing is reduced. As a result, the position acquisition and/or monitoring is able to be performed in a power efficient manner.

Method and apparatus for intelligent acquisition of position information

Improved approaches for monitoring status of articles being shipped are disclosed. The monitoring can produce notifications to interested parties. The notifications typically contain status information pertaining to the articles being shipped. Alternatively, interested parties can gain access to status information pertaining to the articles being shipped via a website. According to one embodiment, the status information includes at least position (location) information and shipping conditions information.

Tracking movement of objects and notifications therefor

Techniques for acquiring, sending, receiving or using status information from a remote location over a network are disclosed. The status information is transmitted over the network between or among electronic devices. The status information can be provided by one or more sensors associated with the electronic device that is transmitting the status information. The status information can be transmitted with messages so as to enhance the messages. The electronic devices include at least computing devices, such as personal computers, personal digital assistants, pagers, and mobile telephones.

Messaging enhancement with location information

A detector circuit includes: a squaring circuit configured to receive an output of a power amplifier of a radio transmitter and to produce an output current, the output of the power amplifier including: a desired tone; a local oscillator leakage tone; and an image tone, and the output current of the squaring circuit including: a direct current (DC) component including a function of the desired tone and an alternating current (AC) component; and a DC current absorber electrically connected to an output terminal of the squaring circuit, the DC current absorber being configured to filter out the DC component of the output current of the squaring circuit to produce a filtered output of the squaring circuit, the filtered output including the AC component including functions of the local oscillator leakage tone and the image tone.

An electronic device, a method, and a chipset for receiving global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals are provided. An input/output (I/O) mixer including a first multiplier and a second multiplier downconverts a modulated radio frequency wave to an intermediate frequency. The modulated radio frequency wave is input to first inputs of the first multiplier and the second multiplier, and where an in-phase signal, from a first digital to analog converter (DAC), and a quadrature phase signal, from a second DAC, are input to second inputs of the first multiplier and the second multiplier, respectively. A mixer imbalance between the first mixer and the second mixer is reduced using direct current (DC) bias voltages from the first DAC and the second DAC. The DC bias voltages are determined based on a first and second DAC codes of the first and second DACs. The downconverted modulated radio frequency wave is filtered.
