Growing demand for high-rate wireless data services is increasing the power consumption requirements of mobile devices. In particular, some smart mobile devices or smart phones are configured to allow multiple software applications to run simultaneously. Some of the applications receive and/or pull data from servers in communication with the network. The more frequently these software applications are provided with access to the data channel the greater the demand on the power supply. Accordingly, there lies a challenge to regulate transmissions to and from a mobile device without adversely impacting quality-of-service (QoS). A method of managing power while maintaining a robust quality-of-service (QoS) is provided by managing the frequency at which a paging channel or the like is monitored. Complimentary methods of changing the frequency of transmission of alerts on a paging channel or the like is also provided.

Management of paging channel monitoring

A method and system for executing a plurality of threads are described. The method may include mapping a thread specified priority value associated with a dormant thread to a thread quantized priority value associated with the dormant thread if the dormant thread becomes ready to run. The method may further include adding the dormant thread to a ready to run queue and updating the thread quantized priority value. A thread quantum value associated with the dormant thread may also be updated, or a combination of the quantum value and quantized priority value may be both updated.

System and method of executing threads at a processor

Methods, systems and devices configured to add synchronization to the entry and exit from low power modes in asynchronous operating systems on a multiprocessor system. A synchronizing agent tracks the requested sleep and wake up times of the different asynchronous operating systems executing on different cores of the same system on chip or multicore processor. The sleep/wake up times of some cores/operating systems may be delayed in order to synchronize the sleep/wake up times of two or more of the asynchronous operating systems executing on the multiprocessor system.

Operating system synchronization in loosely coupled multiprocessor system and chips

A wireless remote unit performs SPS acquisition interleaved with receiving paging information over a wireless slotted paging channel and receiving data packets over a wireless data communication system. The remote unit tunes to a pilot channel, synchronizes to an internal clock of the wireless remote unit with a pilot signal transmitted over the pilot channel; and starts a search for SPS satellites after completing synchronization with the internal clock.

Method and apparatus for scheduling search for and acquisition of global positioning satellites

Machines for treating or preventing neuromuscular pain conditions and injuries by slow patientcontrolled stretching of a muscle or group of muscles when they and surrounding muscles are in a relaxed state (i.e., with little or no extrafusal muscle fiber contractions). The machines include a fixed support such as seat. An adjustable support, such as a back or side rest is adjusted for the particular patient. A controllable support moved in an alternating motion, under the patient's control, allows the injured or painful muscle to be slowly stretched by gravity, while the muscles are relaxed. The controllable support is preferably moved by a hydraulic cylinder.

A system and method for detecting an unauthorized attempt to access components in a housing of a portable electronic device. The housing is secured in a closed state by a mechanical fastener that couples a first portion of the housing to a second portion of the housing. The mechanical fastener has a top end disposed within a recess in the housing. A ball bearing is first disposed within the recess above the top end of the fastener, after which at least a portion of the recess is filled with a curable resin. Later, a portion of the housing proximate the recess is visually inspected. In response to the visual inspection, a determination is made as to whether there has been an unauthorized attempt to access components in the housing.
