- the phrase “based on” does not mean “based only on”, unless expressly specified otherwise. In other words, the phrase “based on” means both “based only on” and “based at least on.”
- any reference to elements using designations such as “first”, “second”, etc. as used herein does not generally limit the amount or order of those elements. These designations can be used herein as a convenient way to distinguish between two or more elements. Thus, reference to the first and second elements does not mean that only two elements can be employed or that the first element must precede the second element in some way.
- determining may encompass a wide variety of actions. For example, “determination” means calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (eg, table, database or other data). It may be considered to “judge” (search in structure), ascertaining, etc.
- “determination (decision)” includes receiving (for example, receiving information), transmitting (for example, transmitting information), input (input), output (output), access ( accessing) (e.g., accessing data in memory), etc. may be considered to be “determining”. Also, “determination” is considered to be “determination (resolving)”, “selecting”, “choosing”, “establishing”, “comparing”, etc. Also good. That is, “determination (determination)” may be regarded as “determination (determination)” of some operation.
- connection is any direct or indirect connection between two or more elements or By coupling, it can include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are “connected” or “coupled” to each other.
- the coupling or connection between the elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, “connection” may be read as “access”.
- the radio frequency domain can be considered “connected” or “coupled” to each other, such as with electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the microwave and / or light (both visible and invisible) regions.
