Instead of transmitting data in time slots. 38.

By the mid-to-late 1980s. and then sent “packets” of compressed data associated with multiple conversations in rotation in that same frequency. a digital technology called Time Division Multiple Access (“TDMA”) had been developed. CDMA offered far better call clarity than TDMA and promised to accommodate roughly ten times as many calls on a single network compared to an analog system. CDMA allows a large number of users 9 . TDMA digitized and compressed callers’ voices.power-efficient radio frequency (RF) signal reception. the European Union determined that its wireless networks would use a TDMA standard known as the Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”). and signals often crossed into neighboring frequencies. and image processing. divided a given frequency channel into time slices. In 1989. Qualcomm publicly announced its groundbreaking Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) technology. none more signiﬁcant than Qualcomm. By the late 19805. The first commercial cell phone networks were deployed in 1983. Call quality was poor. 37.

Based in large part on Qualcomm’s innovations. This led to the adoption of “3. 3G technology became significantly more advanced in its later years with the releases of major enhancements to Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (“WCDMA”) technology. CDMA technology had been widely accepted. As various industry players worked on 4G technologies. It was the development of 3G and 4G technologies—enabled in large part by Qualcomm—that allowed smartphones to send and receive vast amounts of data at lightning 10 . Data associated with different conversations (or data transmissions) are distinguished from one another through the use of codes. This innovation once again expanded network space and vastly boosted data rates. 42. reliability and network efficiency. identified. and a decade before their significant commercial rollout. Led by Qualcomm’s efforts. As the industry grew.5G” and “3. which signiﬁcantly increased data speeds and were critical to the smartphone revolution. the mobile industry was thriving by the late l990s. Qualcomm made fundamental contributions such as the application of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“OFDM”). 39. all new 3G variations that achieved commercial importance were fundamentally based on Qualcomm’s CDMA method.
Qualcomm’s massive investments in enhanced carrier aggregation. Qualcomm’s core chip products for mobile electronic devices are: (1) Baseband Modem chips. power-efficient processor and memory architectures. image processing. effective signal transmission. better carrier aggregation. Qualcomm was the first to make LTE chips available to device makers and continues to offer the best quality modem and LTE chips with enhanced capabilities. all while using minimal power. Qualcomm has driven and continues to drive the development ll . and chip product development have facilitated the development of enhanced power consumption in mobile products. 43. (2) Radio Frequency (“RF”) chips. power-efficient radio frequency (RF) signal reception. which process received voice and data information and prepare the same for transmission. and the proliferation of suppliers offering LTE chipsets. Indeed. LTE technology.speed and propelled smartphones (including the iPhone) to become the fastest-selling consumer electronics devices in history. Qualcomm profoundly understands the pressing need of mobile devices capable of high performance computing. and (5) chipsets that include a combination of the above products as well as other hardware elements to support the functionality of mobile electronic devices. (3) Power Management chips. and powerful image processing. Qualcomm also expends considerable effort and resources toward the research and development of various customized integrated circuits known as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”) for use in mobile electronic devices. power management circuitry. As a longstanding worldwide leader in mobile technology innovation. Qualcomm continues to be a leading contributor to LTE. 44. which transmit and receive radio signals Iusing multiple frequencies. (4) applications processors. 4G in wireless communications. Today. which optimize power consumption across mobile electronic devices. which act as the central processing unit of the mobile electronic devices.
In particular.” 12 . 45. As yet another example. among others. Apple has touted the capability of its newest mobile electronic devices to support “carrier aggregation” technology. and advanced image processing using depth mapping. carrier signal grouping and ampliﬁcation. but to also drive consumer demand for new mobile electronic devices. processor performance and efﬁciency. signal interference.of mobile technologies and modems to not only benefit consumers. power-efficient processor and memory architectures. such as the solution set forth in the ’356 patent. device manufacturers have faced numerous problems with power consumption. As mobile electronic devices have become more powerful with greater functionality. The technologies of the Asserted Patents solve many of these problems by enhancing the performance of mobile electronic devices in a power-efficient manner through advanced carrier aggregation. The Asserted Patents reﬂect Qualcomm’s dedication and investment in research and development relating to wireless technology and mobile devices. power efficient radio frequency (RF) signal reception. 46. such as the solution set forth in the ’336 patent. Individual carriers that are aggregated for use by a single user are often called “component carriers. For example. routing complexity. This means that a mobile device can receive portions of a single input on multiple carriers at the same time to increase the bandwidth of a user? Qualcomm pioneered and patented technologies that allow carrier aggregation to be utilized with less wasted power. 47. and image processing. and with less routing complexity and signal interference. Qualc0mm’s ’674 and ’O02patents provide innovative designs for a computing device’s processor and memory that lower the device’s power 3 The term “carriers” refers to the frequency bands for transmitting data. Qualcomm developed various techniques and hardware designs to efficiently receive RF signals.

We hope that this exhibition and catalog will reawaken people’s awareness about the significance of stage design as a vital art form and of these artists' creative achievements.
Due to its smashing success at the Harriman Institute, an expanded version of the exhibition Homage to Diaghilev's Enduring Legacy. Rediscovered Gems of the 20th Century curated by Regina Khidekel in conjunction with the centennial festival Celebrating the Ballets Russes will open at the spectacular Ana Tzarev Gallery.
The exhibition will feature over hundred twenty works by celebrated Russian artists including N. Roerikh, G. Yakulov, B. Erdman, B. Ferdinandov, L. Khidekel, P. Tchelitchev, A. Tishler, V. Dmitriev, P. Williams, V. Rindin, V. Sulimo-Samuillo, N. Akimov, T. Bruni, V. Khodasevich, V. Basov, V. Galba, E. Yakunina, R. Raugul, N. Ushin, N. Polyakova, R. Yunosheva, S. Yunovich, G. Boriskovich, I. Sevastianov, M. Shcheglov, G. Alexi-Meskhishvili and others.
In addition to some of the most prominent artists of the period, the exhibition introduces many new names and never before seen works. Other artists showcased in the exhibition had been all but forgotten or are underrepresented in the art world, despite their tremendous impact on Russian and modern art. The exhibition is the culmination of extensive research on works, which have been rescued from obscurity and aligned with the discourse of the 20th century art and stage design's history.
