  • Patent number: 11118912
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a magnetic positioning system and method that allows the position of a receiver to be determined in environments containing conducting material such as concrete. A number of transmitters create modulated magnetic fields which are distorted as they propagate through the conducting materials. A finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation of the environment is used to generate an accurate model of the fields within the environment. A receiver is used to measure the field strength of each transmitter. The receiver position is determined by evaluating the misfit between the received fields and the values in the FDTD model.

  • Patent number: 11122648
    Abstract: A distributed antenna system of an aircraft includes first and second antennas and corresponding first and second remote transceiver units (RTUs). Each RTU receives a radio signal from the corresponding antenna and includes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)/digital signal processor (DSP). The FPGA/DSP of a second RTU receives a second signal corresponding to the radio signal from the second antenna and receives a first signal from the first RTU corresponding to the radio signal from the first antenna. The FPGA/DSP of a second RTU determines which of the first and second antennae will transmit a reply to an interrogation included in the radio signals from the first and second antennae, based on a comparison of the first signal and the second signal.

  • Patent number: 11120246
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for providing vibration notification based on fingerprint similarity. The method comprises: when a fingerprint sensor detects an input of a fingerprint, acquiring information of the inputted fingerprint, comparing the inputted fingerprint with a pre-stored valid fingerprint, and performing computation to obtain a similarity degree between the inputted fingerprint and the valid fingerprint; and controlling, according to the similarity degree, a vibration magnitude of a vibration motor. In the present invention, vibration of a vibration motor is controlled according to a similarity degree between an inputted fingerprint and a valid fingerprint, and the higher the similarity degree, the higher the vibration magnitude. If the inputted fingerprint is determined to be a valid fingerprint, the vibration motor uses the highest power to output vibration.

  • Patent number: 11121544
    Abstract: Safety power disconnection for remote power distribution in power distribution systems is disclosed. The power distribution system includes one or more power distribution circuits each configured to remotely distribute power from a power source over current carrying power conductors to remote units to provide power for remote unit operations. A remote unit is configured to decouple power from the power conductors thereby disconnecting the load of the remote unit from the power distribution system. A current measurement circuit in the power distribution system measures current flowing on the power conductors and provides a current measurement to the controller circuit. The controller circuit is configured to disconnect the power source from the power conductors for safety reasons in response to detecting a current from the power source in excess of a threshold current level indicating a load.

  • Publication number: 20210281542
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to hostname pre-localization. In examples, a service uses a content distribution network (CDN) to provide at least a part of the computing functionality associated with the service. A pre-localized hostname may be used to direct the client computing device to a specific edge server of the CDN that is associated with the computing functionality. In examples, a service receives an initiation request from a client computing device for the computing functionality provided by the CDN. The service generates a pre-localization request comprising pre-localization information and provides the pre-localization request to the CDN. Accordingly, the CDN generates a pre-localized hostname associated with an edge server based on the pre-localization information. The pre-localized hostname is provided to the service, which is then provided to the client computing device, thereby directing the client computing device to the specific edge server of the CDN.

  • Publication number: 20210281472
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to systems and methods for containing a faulty stimulus. A computer-implemented method may include listing in a suspect list every received stimulus including the faulty stimulus, and implicitly testing the stimuli by respectively acting upon those stimuli by a software application. Responsive to successfully acting upon each of the stimuli besides the faulty stimulus, each non-faulty stimulus is deleted from the suspect list and, responsive to such deletion, made available to a downstream node. Responsive to acting upon the faulty stimulus, the software application crashes which leaves the faulty stimulus listed in the suspect list. The software application then restarts and deems the faulty stimulus as being faulty based upon the faulty stimulus still being listed in the suspect list after the restart.
