20070160179 - Configurable multi-modulus frequency divider for multi-mode mobile communication devices: Within a mobile communication device (for example, a cellular telephone), there is a local oscillator. The local oscillator includes a novel frequency divider that includes a novel configurable multi-modulus divider (CMMD). The frequency divider is configurable into a selectable one of multiple configurations involving different mixes of synchronous and asynchronous... Agent: Qualcomm Incorporated

20070153967 - Dynamic shift register with built-in disable circuit: A disable circuit for using in a dynamic shift register unit comprising: a first input, a second input, an output, a first reference line for receiving a first supply voltage, a second reference line for receiving a second supply voltage, and six transistors. The disable circuit is capable of being... Agent: Morris Manning Martin LLP
