  • Publication number: 20230361460
    Abstract: Techniques to reduce signal interference between wired signals communicated within an electronic device and wireless signals transmitted to or received from antennas of the electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device includes an interposer with an inner fence and an outer fence having offset gaps to prevent a pathway otherwise formed by overlapping tabs, where the pathway allows noise leakage from the wired signals. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., in a main logic board package) includes a ground fencing of ground vias to prevent the noise leakage from harmonics associated with signal vias communicating the wired signals. The spacing between the ground vias is based on frequencies of signals that the ground vias are intended to block.

  • Publication number: 20230078323
    Abstract: Devices are disclosed that include a wideband millimeter wave (mmW) via transition design for multilayer printed circuit boards (MLBs). In various instances embodiments, a via is dimensioned to provide impedance matching to stripline tracing connected at the end of the via. Impedance matching in the via may eliminate the need for an impedance matching section on the stripline tracing. In some instances, the dimensions of the via pad diameter and the via keepout diameter are selected to tune a via transition structure to selected frequencies and/or frequency bandwidths.

  • Publication number: 20230064458
    Abstract: Frequency-filtering circuitry is disclosed that rejects power of a wireless signal having an undesired frequency while causing a decreased power loss to a wireless signal having a desired frequency using distributed elements, rather than lumped elements. The frequency-filtering circuitry may reject at least 5 decibels of power of a wireless signal having a frequency over 32 gigahertz, while causing a power loss of at most 1.1 decibels to a wireless signal having a frequency lower than 29.5 gigahertz. The frequency-filtering circuitry may include a main branch, a first parallel branch coupled and parallel to the main branch via a first connecting trace, and a second parallel branch coupled and parallel to the main branch via a second connecting trace. The first connecting trace intersects the main branch and the first parallel branch, and the second connecting trace intersects the main branch and the second parallel branch.

  • Patent number: 11414977
    Abstract: A system and method to identify a dysfunction of a drill-string within a wellbore are provided. The system includes a sensor positioned proximate to a drill-string and proximate to a surface of the wellbore. The sensor is configured to sense a surface condition and generate measurement data. The system also includes a transmitter in communication with the sensor and configured to transmit the measurement data. The system also includes a receiver configured to receive the measurement data from the sensor. The system also includes a processor configured to calculate a downhole measurement based on the measurement data and analyze the downhole measurement to identify the dysfunction.

  • Patent number: 11287521
    Abstract: System and methods for obtaining sizing of an irregularly shaped object. The methods comprise: displaying, by a display of a handheld scanner system, a 3D optical figure of a subject; displaying a grid superimposed over the 3D optical figure of the subject, the grid comprising a plurality of marks arranged in rows and columns; generating, by a radar module of the handheld scanner system, range data specifying a sensed spacing between the radar module and at least a surface of a first portion of the irregularly shaped object which is covered by at least one item; receiving, by a processor of the handheld scanner system, the range data from the radar module as the subject is being scanned; and causing at least one first visual characteristic of a first mark of said plurality of marks to change when corresponding range data is successfully received by the processor.

  • Patent number: 10907464
    Abstract: A method for automatically controlling drilling weight-on-bit for using a drill-string to drill along a wellbore includes establishing a drill-string model and a wellbore model, wherein the drill-string has a plurality of components along the length thereof, and the wellbore has a plurality of sections. A surface tension data of the drill-string can be acquired, and a friction coefficient-depth distribution can be obtained by calibrating the surface tension data in the drill-string model and wellbore model, and the drilling weight-on-bit can be predicted according to the calibrated drill-string and wellbore models.

  • Patent number: 10655450
    Abstract: An improved in-field referencing 1 (IFR1) technique is provided, wherein a single mid-lateral well measurement of local magnetic field is used. In one aspect of directional drilling, a single set of IFR values for a planned well is obtained. The single set of IFR values is captured at a single location in a mid-lateral section of the planned well. A global magnetic model corresponding to the Earth's magnetic field is obtained. An improved magnetic model is generated by correcting the global magnetic model for local anomalies using the single set of IFR values.
