Patent number: 11977716Abstract: A client computing system (CCS) receives a download including (i) an image representative of a vehicle component, (ii) symbol data associated with a first symbol, (iii) a set of one or more selectable identifiers, and (iv) supplemental information associated with the vehicle component. Each selectable identifier can indicate a respective portion of the supplemental information. After receiving the download, the CCS displays the image and the first symbol without displaying the set and the supplemental information. While the image and the first symbol are displayed without the set, the CCS receives a first input corresponding to selection of the first symbol. The CCS then responsively displays the set. While the set is displayed, the CCS receives a second input corresponding to selection of a first selectable identifier from the set. The CCS then responsively displays the respective portion of the supplemental information indicated by the first selectable identifier.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Snap-on IncorporatedInventors: Patrick S.

Patent number: 11956108Abstract: Apparatus and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) switching are provided. In certain embodiments, a controller internal to the power amplifier module initiates a sequence of instructions, in response to a single command from UE. The instructions cause a reduction in RF signal amplitude at the power amplifier output and then cause the antenna switch to actuate. Thus ensuring a single command transition and preventing over-power on the power amplifier and antenna switch. The teachings herein can be used to facilitate reduction in gap times between transitions on different antennas and avoid the use of a blank symbol before and after each SRS symbol.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Skyworks Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Serge Francois Drogi, David Steven Ripley, Dominique Michel Yves Brunel
