  • Publication number: 20230284072
    Abstract: A method of providing user level mobility load balancing is provided, the method comprising: classifying a group of User Equipments (UEs) in a cell into multidimensional planes based on metrics associated with the UEs; defining thresholds for each dimension; using the defined thresholds determining to discard or select certain planes of a dimension and the UEs contained in the planes; and identifying a best UE of the UEs contained in selected planes for offload.

  • Publication number: 20230280597
    Abstract: Actuators for actuating a lens in a folded camera, folded cameras including such actuators and dual-cameras including such folded cameras. The actuators actuate a lens having a lens optical axis for auto-focus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS) and comprise a stationary sub-assembly that includes an OIS coil having an OIS coil plane and an AF coil having an AF coil plane, and a lens actuating sub-assembly movable relative to the stationary sub-assembly with a lens holder holding the lens, wherein the OIS coil plane is perpendicular to the AF coil plane and wherein the lens optical axis lies between the OIS coil plane and the AF coil plane. Some actuators have a design using VCM actuation and a reduced height due to top and/or bottom openings in actuator envelopes.

  • Patent number: 11359937
    Abstract: The present disclosure is of a sensing mechanism for sensing rotation movement around a rotation axis, including: a magnet; and a magnetic sensor configured to detect a magnetic flux of the magnet and to determine a relative shift between the magnet and the magnetic sensor based on change in the detected magnetic flux, wherein the magnet is shaped such that a cross section of the magnet has a width that increases from a point substantially at a center of the magnet towards each end of the magnet, thereby increasing a range of detectable change in the magnetic flux and increasing a corresponding detectable range of the relative shift between the magnet and the magnetic sensor.
