A device comprising an integrated circuit 175 having input terminals internal circuitry 140 160 163 a clock circuit 123 on the integrated circuit 175 to provide an internal clock signal to the internal circuitry 140 160 163 the clock circuit 123 having clock inputs electrically connected to a plurality of the input terminals the clock circuit 123 configurable to produce the internal clock signal using different sets of the plurality of input terminals in response to a configuration parameter and a clock configuration store 149 which provides the configuration parameter.

In the time period between time t2 and t4 the circuit is operating in the serial clock mode when MODE is at a high logic level.Because MODE Is at the high logic level PLL circuit 706 is turned on to generate the 90 180 270 and 360 clock outputs.The current timing diagram assumes that mode reset and PLL locking is immediate.With MODE at the high logic level internal clocks CK and CK will correspond to the 90 and 270 degree clock outputs and the clock output buffer 410 is enabled to drive CKO and CKO with the CK and CK clocks.Using the circuits shown in Figure 8A the data transfer operation between the input Dn not shown and Qn will follow the same sequence as shown in Figure 3B except that the latching operations are now responsive to CK and CK instead of directly to the 90 and 270 degee clock outputs.

On the other hand when a main purpose is making the whole insulating film less reflective an oxynitride such as SiOxNy is preferably selected.It is because when the thinfilm crystal layer is made of a GaN material a refractive index can be adjusted by adjusting a ratio of ON for making the whole insulating film including the crystal quality improving layer 30 less reflective to a light emitted from the inside of the lightemitting element.In this case our investigation has indicated that this type is preferable because it is useful for optical design of an insulating film for a practical lightemitting element owing to a broader adjustment range of a refractive index although its crystal quality improving effect is less than a nitride such as SiNx.Furthermore when an oxynitride such as SiOxNy is selected an insulating film may be made of the oxynitride alone to produce the effects of both of the crystal quality improving layer 30 and the antireflection layer 31 described later depending on an extent of refractive index adjustment.

DESCRIPTION: Thus based on the amount of data to be transmitted in the transmission end for every wireless terminal the assignment order of the wireless channels is determined.Thereby wireless channels can be assigned preferentially between the communication apparatus having the smaller amount of data to be transmitted and each relevant wireless terminal and thereby the number of simultaneously connectable wireless terminals can be increased.Thereby it is possible to increase the number of wireless terminals having no problem in the stay time or the like.Furthermore by determining the assignment order of wireless channels based on the communication quality in the reception end for every wireless terminal data can be preferentially communicated between the communication apparatus and each wireless terminal having better communication quality and thus throughput can be raised by decreasing the number of times of possible resending of the data.The abovementioned wireless channel means a time slot in time division multiple access scheme a frequency band in frequency division multiple access scheme a spread code in code division multiple access scheme etc. CLAIM: A method according to any of the preceding claims wherein said point in time for the start of the transmission of said data is determined dependent on at least one radio condition.

The method of claim 14 wherein the pair of column electrodes the two columns of patch electrodes the first wirings and the second wirings are formed by sputtering a transparent conductive material at 130 to 150 C and then etching the transparent conductive material.

FIG.8A is an example plot of an xcoordinate of a finger touch versus mutual capacitance seen at a touch pixel for a two adjacent touch pixels a5 and b5 in a single row having wide spacings.In FIG.8A plot 800 represents the mutual capacitance seen at touch pixel a5 as the finger touch moves continuously from left to right and plot 802 represents the mutual capacitance seen at touch pixel b5 as the finger touch moves continuously from left to right.As expected a drop in the mutual capacitance 804 is seen at touch pixel a5 when the fmger touch passes directly over touch pixel a5 and a similar drop in the mutual capacitance 806 is seen at touch pixel b5 when the finger touch passes directly over touch pixel b5.If line 808 represents a threshold for detecting a touch event FIG.8A illustrates that even though the finger is never lifted from the surface of the touch screen it can erroneously appear at 810 that the finger has momentarily lifted off the surface.This location 810 can represent a point about halfway between the two spreadout touch pixels.

The receiver of claim 1 wherein each entry in the look up table is one of 1 and 0.

In this embodiment however the use of the one bit MSF however raises issues with respect to timeplan acquisition for slower rate terminals.For example referring back to the timeplan acquisition method of FIG.13 based on the code rate the receiver decodes a codeblock at a regular interval e.g.in the case of the 24 code rate the receiver decodes every other codeblock and in the case of a 14 code rate the receiver decodes every fourth codeblock.Again therefore for a 24 code rate receiver the terminal may have to wait two whole superframes before acquiring the timeplan and for a 14 code rate receiver the terminal may have to wait four whole superframes before acquiring the timeplan.For a slower code rate terminal such as with a 116 code rate receiver the terminal decodes every sixteenth codeblock and thus worst case that terminal may have to wait 16 superframes before acquiring the timeplan.Moreover with respect to the timeplan acquisition method of FIG.14 when the receiver decodes any given codeblock because with this protocol the SSN isnot expressly coded in the codeblock header the receiver may have no knowledge of the SSN or position of the codeblock.So when acquiring and decoding the initial code block the receiver would have no way of determining based on the SSN how many codeblocks would be required to be skipped to reach the beginning of the next superframe e.g.in the case where the timeplan would be contained in the codeblock of the first position of each new superframe.
