Filed:

Apr 14, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/404275

International Classification:

G08B 1/08

US Classification:

340539130

Abstract:

An energy constrained device () includes a motion sensor () operative to detect motion of the device (); a device position determinator (); and a controller () operatively coupled to the motion sensor () and to the device position determinator () and operative to receive a device location request for the energy constrained device (), to determine whether the energy constrained device () has moved based on the motion sensor (), and to determine whether to request position information from the device position determinator () based on device movement. A method for saving power for a device position determinator () in a energy constrained device () includes determining whether position information has been requested from the device position determinator (); and if not so, automatically switching the device position determinator () to a low power consumption mode.

US Classification:

361748

Abstract:

Electrical components such as integrated circuits may be mounted on a printed circuit board. To prevent the electrical components from being subjected to electromagnetic interference, radio-frequency shielding structures may be formed over the components. The radio-frequency shielding structures may be formed from a layer of metallic paint. Components may be covered by a layer of dielectric. Channels may be formed in the dielectric between blocks of circuitry. The metallic paint may be used to coat the surfaces of the dielectric and to fill the channels. Openings may be formed in the surface of the metallic paint to separate radio-frequency shields from each other. Conductive traces on the surface of the printed circuit board may be used in connecting the metallic paint layer to internal printed circuit board traces.
