Subscriber Identification Management Broker for Fixed/Mobile Networks

There present invention relates to a method for managing the automatic provision of a subscriber network identifier from a central network server to a subscribed communication device, the method comprising receiving notification at the central server relating to a change in the current location for the subscribed device, and determining from the notification whether a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned from the central server. The method further comprises selecting a subscriber network identifier on the basis of the current location, if the determining step has determined that a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned, and outputting the selected subscriber network identifier for transmission to the subscribed device. The present invention also relates to managing the automatic connection of a subscribed communication device to a network, where a preferred network and preferred subscriber network identifier may be used.

Non-volatile memory and method with power-saving read and program-verify operations

A non-volatile memory device capable of reading and writing a large number of memory cells with multiple read / write circuits in parallel has features to reduce power consumption during read, and program / verify operations. A read or program verify operation includes one or more sensing cycles relative to one or more demarcation threshold voltages to determine a memory state. In one aspect, selective memory cells among the group being sensed in parallel have their conduction currents turned off when they are determined to be in a state not relevant to the current sensing cycle. In another aspect, a power-consuming period is minimized by preemptively starting any operations that would prolong the period. In a program / verify operation cells not to be programmed have their bit lines charged up in the program phase. Power is saved when a set of these bit lines avoids re-charging at every passing of a program phase.

Managed Substrate Effects for Stabilized SOI FETs

Modified silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates having a trap rich layer, and methods for making such modifications. The modified regions eliminate or manage accumulated charge that would otherwise arise because of the interaction of the underlying trap rich layer and active layer devices undergoing transient changes of state, thereby eliminating or mitigating the effects of such accumulated charge on non-RF integrated circuitry fabricated on such substrates. Embodiments retain the beneficial characteristics of SOI substrates with a trap rich layer for RF circuitry requiring high linearity, such as RF switches, while avoiding the problems of a trap rich layer for circuitry that is sensitive to accumulated charge effects caused by the presence of the trap rich layer, such as non-RF analog circuitry and amplifiers (including power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers).

Testing for operating life of a memory device with address cycling using a gray code sequence

In a method and system for cycling through addresses of a memory device, a respective bit pattern comprised of a predetermined number of bits is generated for each address. The respective bit pattern for each of the addresses is cycled through with a transition of less than the predetermined number of bits for sequencing to each subsequent address. For example, the respective bit pattern for each of the addresses is cycled through in a gray code sequence. By limiting the number of transitions in the address bits, charge gain failure of a flash memory device is minimized and even may be eliminated.
