Methods and apparatus for transmitting communications signals that are both power efficient and effective at avoiding or reducing transmitter-generated receive band noise. An exemplary transceiver apparatus includes a multi-mode transmitter that is configurable to operate in a plurality of operating modes (e.g., a polar mode, a quadrature mode and a hybrid mode), a receiver, and an operating mode controller. The operating mode controller is configured to control which operating mode the transmitter is to operate, depending on one or more of a transmit (Tx) power, receive (Rx) power, the Tx power relative to the Rx power, a level of frequency separation between a Tx frequency band and a Rx frequency band (Tx / Rx band separation), and modulation type employed by the transmitter.

Multi-sensor system for real-time embedded monitoring of object senses mixed-mode object conditions. Various sensors separately provide disparate analog signals representing different measurable attributes regarding sensed object. For example, such sensors may separately sense temperature, pressure, or other biometric value. Then, according to specified rule set or other qualifying parameters, a digital signal is generated by a processor or controller to indicate one or more condition of the sensed object according to certain sensor input values. Additionally, such multi-sensor scheme may be coupled to a digital network or otherwise coupled thereto for simulation and / or communication applications.

A method for processing substrate in a chamber, which has at least one plasma generating source, a reactive gas source for providing reactive gas into the interior region of the chamber, and a non-reactive gas source for providing non-reactive gas into the interior region, is provided. The method includes performing a mixed-mode pulsing (MMP) preparation phase, including flowing reactive gas into the interior region and forming a first plasma to process the substrate that is disposed on a work piece holder. The method further includes performing a MMP reactive phase, including flowing at least non-reactive gas into the interior region, and forming a second plasma to process the substrate, the second plasma is formed with a reactive gas flow during the MMP reactive phase that is less than a reactive gas flow during the MMP preparation phase. Perform the method steps a plurality of times.

A system combining the features, elements, and operations of a cellular telephone and a radar detector into a unitary assembly. The present invention generally comprises a housing enclosing a power supply, an output speaker, an input microphone, an antenna, a display screen, a multi-button keypad, cell phone circuitry, and radar detection circuitry. The housing further incorporates a spring-loaded clip assembly that provides for “hands-free” cellular telephone operation. The present invention may include a plurality of operational modes that are manually selected by a user via the keypad. The operational modes may include “cellular telephone only”, “radar detector only”, and a hybrid mode wherein the system operates as a radar detector until an incoming cellular telephone signal is detected causing the system to convert to its cellular telephone operational mode. The present invention is easily transported and simple to use, fabricated of materials providing the appropriate degree of durability / longevity required by the nature of its use, and may be economically manufactured and sold.
