Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a method and apparatus used to determine the position of a wiper on a potentiometer without the need for an external ADC. Two capacitors are each connected to an end of a potentiometer, and then are charged or discharged simultaneously by a current source or current sink attached to the wiper of the potentiometer. The time required for each of the capacitors to charge or discharge to a threshold voltage level is measured and subsequently used to determine the position of the wiper on the potentiometer.

Abstract: An example wireless device includes a radio receiver to measure a signal quality of a data signal independent of a direct frequency measurement, the signal quality correlated to an offset between a transmitter reference frequency and a receiver reference frequency but not indicative of a direction of the offset. The example wireless device further includes a reference frequency generator to determine from the measured signal quality that a previous adjustment to the receiver reference frequency in a first direction has worsened the signal quality, and responsive to that determination adjust the receiver reference frequency in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A non-keyboard computer peripheral device represents itself to a host computer as having a keyboard function in addition to representing its actual function. Keyboard status signals are generated by the host computer in response to a user pressing different keys on an actual keyboard. The peripheral device uses the keyboard status signals to identify different peripheral device operations selected by the user. In one example, a radio receiving device represents itself to the host computer as including the keyboard function. Pressing a button on the receiving device causes the receiving device to send a sequence of keystroke commands to the host computer that cause the host computer to initiate software applications and to display operating instructions to a user. A series of further binding operations are then executed in accordance with the displayed operating instructions.
