  • Patent number: 10420002
    Abstract: The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.

  • Patent number: 10416294
    Abstract: A ranging device includes an array of photon detection devices that receive an optical signal reflected by an object in an image scene and first and second logic devices to respectively combine the outputs of first and second pluralities of the photon detection devices. First and second counter circuits are respectively coupled an output of the first and second logic devices and generate first and second count values respectively by counting the photon detection events generated by the first and second pluralities of photon detection devices. A range estimation circuit estimates the range of the object by estimating the timing of one or more pulses of said optical signal based on the first and second count values.

  • Publication number: 20190280130
    Abstract: Encapsulating cover for an electronic package is formed by a cover body having a front wall and, positioned around a through-passage, a mounting face that includes a bearing surface. A mounting face of an optical element bears against the bearing surface. The mounting face includes at least one local void that is set back with respect to the bearing surface to provide a space between the mounting face of the optical element and the bottom of the local void. The local void extends beyond an edge of the optical element. A drop of fastening adhesive extends locally into said local void and has a portion that is covered by the optical element and an uncovered portion that is located beyond the edge of the optical element.

  • Patent number: 10388816
    Abstract: A semiconductor on insulator substrate includes a semiconductor support layer, a buried insulating layer over the semiconductor support layer and an epitaxial semiconductor layer over the buried insulating layer. A deep trench isolation penetrates completely through the epitaxial semiconductor layer to the buried insulating layer to electrically insulate a first region of the epitaxial semiconductor layer from a second region of the epitaxial semiconductor layer. A single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) includes an anode formed by the first region of the epitaxial semiconductor layer and a cathode formed by a well located within the first region of the epitaxial semiconductor layer. An ancillary circuit for the SPAD is located in the second region of the epitaxial semiconductor layer and electrically coupled to the SPAD.

  • Publication number: 20190248051
    Abstract: A process is disclosed to encapsulate the exterior surface of a metal drinking cup or other similar heat resistant container with plastic material such as polybutylene terephthalate in an injection molding process. A fixture holds a metal container in place and is inserted within a mold. Plastic material is then injected into the mold and surrounds the exterior surface of the container and allowed to cool. The container includes various physical features on its exterior to prevent the slipping of the plastic material off of the cup after cooling. Using an injection molding process to surround and encapsulate the exterior surface of a metal container with plastic results in a thicker surface over the container, and creates an ideal platform for receiving high resolution images and designs for impregnation using a further dye sublimation process.
