An apparatus includes first and second components, a memory, and an allocator configured to allocate a portion of the memory to the first component, wherein the first component is configured to access the allocated portion of the memory and to send information to the second component to provide the second component with access to the allocated portion of the memory.

Optimized transfer of packets in a resource constrained operating environment

A device for interconnecting and multiplexing a plurality of interfaces is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, three serial communications ports are interfaced such that any two may be interconnected for communications. A novel circuit comprising a plurality of buffers is employed to allow selection of the interconnection scheme by a controller. The design is scalable and is characterized by low cost, low printed circuit board area requirements, and graceful function. In the preferred embodiment, a PDA, wireless transceiver, and cradle interface of a personal communications device are effectively interconnected and multiplexed.

Multiple-interface port multiplexer

A mobile communication device, and a method of reading key presses and backlighting a mobile communication device, are disclosed. The method of reading key presses and backlighting a mobile communication device includes providing a mobile communication device including a plurality of marked keys resident on a flip module separate from a main module, and switching, by the mobile communication device, between a first positive voltage to the flip module when the plurality of marked keys are backlit, and a first negative voltage when the plurality of marked keys are not backlit, according to a switch command from the main module. The mobile communication device includes a main module, a flip module electrically connected to the main module, wherein the flip module includes thereon a plurality of marked keys, and a voltage switch which places a first positive voltage on a two wire interface to allow for a reading of a pressed of at least one of the plurality of keys by the main module, and which places a first negative voltage on the two wire interface to prevent the reading of a pressed of at least one of the plurality of keys by the main module.
