A first printed wiring board (PWB, ) has a first set of parallel printed wires ( ) on one face and a second set of parallel printed wires ( ) on the other face. The second set is generally orthogonal to the first set. The first set terminates in a first adaptor ( ), which adapts to an interface ( ) having many parallel channels. The second set terminates in a second adaptor ( ), which adapts to a second PWB ( ). Development of the second PWB is enhanced when any input or output on the second PWB can be connected to any channel of the interface. Thus, a hole is drilled through the first PWB at the intersection of the appropriate printed wires of the first and second sets, and is plated. The plated hole ( ) may be drilled out (rendering it non-conductive) and effectively replated many times. Alternatively, the (inexpensive) first PWB may be replaced.

The present invention provides a method and system that uses serial, writable, nonvolatile memory (serial memory) in a portable radio telephone. According to an object of the present invention, the serial memory may be integral to a cell phone or attached to a cell phone via an add-on card or the like. According to another object, the serial memory may be embedded in a cell phone accessory or attached to an accessory via an add-on card or the like. In both objects, once the portable radio telephone is powered on, data stored in serial memory is transferred into onboard random access memory (RAM), which in turn is utilized by the CPU and/or other cell phone systems. Serial memory includes, but is not limited to, NAND-type flash memory, as well as, flash and EEPROM memories that utilize the following interface architectures: the mircowire bus, the IC bus, the SPI bus and/or the MPS bus. Among other things, serial memory may store the operating system, applications, and radio calibration parameters.

A system and method are presented for actively evaluating and adjusting device energy consumption in a personal area network (PAN). The method comprises: polling devices in the PAN to determine respective energy metrics; and, establishing network communications between devices using the energy metrics. More specifically, a master device establishes network communications rules between the devices as a result of the polling activity. The master device identifies energy metrics including the battery charge status for devices powered by battery and device link energy metrics associated with network link communication operations, determines the priority of operation for the devices, and optimizes device battery life in response to the energy metrics and the priority of operation for the devices. In a specific example of the invention, a Bluetooth network, the method comprises: establishing a piconet with one device functioning as a master device and at least one other device functioning as a slave device; polling devices to determine respective energy metrics; the master device identifying energy metrics including the battery charge status and device link energy metrics; the master device determining the priority of operation for the devices; the master device optimizing device battery life in response to the energy metrics and the priority of operation for the devices by modifying link states between devices, the link state including device scan rate, device mode setting, and device network role.

A system and method are presented for identifying, in an electrical device having an audio interface port, a headset type. The system includes a microcontroller logic unit with an output, connected to a test network, to supply a test voltage. The test network also is connected to the audio interface port. The test network can include combinations of resistors, capacitors, and switches. A voltage determination sub-system has an input connected to the interface port line and an output to supply a determination signal responsive to voltage at the audio interface port. The logic unit has an input connected to the determination sub-system output and compares determination signal values with a predetermined threshold value to identify a headset type connected to the audio interface port.

A method in a wireless device () for communicating with a WLAN access point () and a wide area network is disclosed. The first step () includes scanning a first set of channels in a first radio frequency band for at least one pilot channel signal. In the next step () the device receives a pilot channel signal on the first radio frequency band, the signal having a unique identification. The device, in response to receiving the pilot channel signal with the unique identification then turns on () a receiver that receives signals in a second radio frequency band. The device then searches, in step () for a signal, on the second radio frequency band, for a WLAN access point. The device then determines if a WLAN access point signal has been received, in step (). The device associates with the WLAN, in step () if the device receives the WLAN access point signal. The device, in step (), turns off the receiver if a WLAN access point signal has not been received.
