  • Patent number: 11956834
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11942459
    Abstract: A semiconductor device package includes a first substrate having an electrical circuit, semiconductor dies stacked one on top of the other, and bond wires electrically connected one to another. The bond wires electrically couple the semiconductor dies to one another and to the electrical circuit. There is a first bond wire having a first portion connected to a first semiconductor die, a second portion connected to a second semiconductor die, and an intermediate portion between the first portion and second portion. The semiconductor device package further includes a molding compound encapsulating the semiconductor dies, and the first and second portions of the first bond wire. The intermediate portion of the first bond wire is exposed along a top planar surface of the molding compound. The semiconductor device package may be used for coupling one or more other semiconductor device packages thereto via the exposed intermediate portion.

  • Patent number: 11917069
    Abstract: Secure user authentication using a OTP involve pre-storing an application on a first device for generating a valid OTP for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN, no part of the valid PIN is stored on the first device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first device by the application based on the purported PIN and a purported OTP is generated on the first device. When entry of the purported OTP is received by the server in an attempt to log on the server from a second device, the server cryptographically calculates a window of OTPs, and logs on to the server from the second device is allowed if the calculated window of OTPs corresponds to the received OTP.

  • Patent number: 11305568
    Abstract: Examples techniques to restrict unlatching of manifolds of carriage assemblies in printing devices are described. In an example, a carriage assembly of a printing device comprises a carriage structure defining an opening to house a printhead and a manifold coupled to the carriage structure. The manifold covers the printhead in a latched position and allows access to the integrated printhead in an unlatched position. A lock pin is mounted on the carriage structure, the lock pin being slideable to a first position and a second position with respect to the manifold along the carriage structure. In an example, the lock pin restricts unlatching of the manifold with the carriage structure in the second position.

  • Patent number: 10897404
    Abstract: System and method of a manipulative handle for revealing detail information in an interactive mobile user interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, when an activity supported by a cloud-based (e.g., online cloud-based collaboration platform) is initiated, the status of the activity is tracked and displayed using an animated user interface element. On and/or near the animated user interface element are hidden grab points that can be engaged to expand the user interface element to reveal detail relating to the activity. If the user interface element is already in an expanded state, detecting activation of hidden grab points on and/or near the user interface element causes minimization of the user interface element, thereby concealing the detail revealed earlier.

  • Patent number: 9959263
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to configurable multi-view data entry. When a user encounters a form field with a complex data type, depending on the invoking mechanism, either automatic when on focus, or through a user gesture such as clicking on an icon in the form field, the form field expands to multiple form fields including the original form field. The multiple form fields can allow the user to enter in each separate data item that makes up the complex data type. As data items are entered, the data items can be combined into a correct format and displayed in the original form field.

  • Patent number: 9311071
    Abstract: Systems and methods which forces or automatically upgrades a mobile application installed on a mobile device for security, stability or any other concerns via a server-side configuration file are disclosed. In one embodiment, a configuration file including a list of build identifiers that have been banned or flagged is placed on a server, which can be a server providing cloud-based collaboration or file sharing services, for access by associated mobile applications and/or devices. A mobile application installed on a mobile device can download the configuration file and determine whether a build identifier of the mobile application is listed on the configuration file. If so, the mobile application can shut down, prompt or force an upgrade, or restrict operation of the mobile application in other ways.
