  • Publication number: 20240079781
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna resonating element on a first substrate that is mounted to a second substrate. A signal conductor may be coupled to a feed terminal on the antenna resonating element. The signal conductor may include impedance matching structures for the antenna. The impedance matching structures may include an open transmission line stub, a grounded transmission line stub, and a phase shifting segment. The impedance matching structures may configure the antenna to exhibit a wide bandwidth in an ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency band. If desired, the signal conductor may have a phase-shifting segment configured to match a non-50 Ohm impedance of a radio-frequency front end coupled to the signal conductor.

  • Publication number: 20240079784
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element and a light source module mounted to a flexible printed circuit and a metal cowling. The module may emit light through a rear housing wall. The printed circuit may be interposed between the metal cowling and a conductive support plate in the rear housing wall. The printed circuit may include a ground trace coupled to the resonating element. A dimpled pad may couple the ground trace to the support plate. Compressive foam may be used to exert a force against the flexible printed circuit that presses the dimpled pad against the conductive support plate. The ground trace and the dimpled pad may form a return path to ground for the resonating element. The dimpled pad may occupy less height within the device than other structures such as metal springs.

  • Publication number: 20240080827
    Abstract: This application provides a resource allocation method, a communication apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. An access point determines and sends a band indication and a resource unit allocation indication based on an RU/MRU allocated to a PPDU. The band indication indicates an index of a band of the RU/MRU, and an index range corresponding to the band indication in a first bandwidth is reused for an index range corresponding to the RU/MRU in a bandwidth of the PPDU. The resource unit allocation indication indicates an RU/MRU index of the RU/MRU on the band, and an index range corresponding to the resource unit allocation indication in the first bandwidth is also reused for an index range corresponding to the resource unit allocation indication in the bandwidth of the PPDU. The first bandwidth is greater than the bandwidth of the PPDU.

  • Publication number: 20230342355
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for an integrated in-front database cache (“IIDC”) providing an in-memory, consistent, and automatically managed cache for primary database data. An IIDC comprises a database server instance that (a) caches data blocks from a source database managed by a second database server instance, and (b) performs recovery on the cached data using redo records for the database data. The IIDC instance implements relational algebra and is configured to run any complexity of query over the cached database data. Any cache miss results in the IIDC instance fetching the needed block(s) from a second database server instance managing the source database that provides the IIDC instance with the latest version of the requested data block(s) that is available to the second instance. Because redo records are used to continuously update the data blocks in an IIDC cache, the IIDC guarantees consistency of query results.
