  • Publication number: 20240365097
    Abstract: A load control device is able to receive radio-frequency (RF) signals from a Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smart phone, via a wireless local area network. The load control device comprises a controllably conductive device adapted to be coupled in series between an AC power source and an electrical load, a controller for rendering the controllably conductive device conductive and non-conductive, and a Wi-Fi module operable to receive the RF signals from the wireless network. The controller controls the controllably conductive device to adjust the power delivered to the load in response to the wireless signals received from the wireless network. The load control device may further comprise an optical module operable to receive an optical signal, such that the controller may obtain an IP address from the received optical signal and control the power delivered to the load in response to a wireless signal that includes the IP address.

    Abstract: A wireless device may receive from a base station one or more messages indicating a first downlink transmission power of reference signals. The wireless device may also measure a first reference signal received power value of the received reference signals in a measurement window. The wireless device also receives a command indicating a time period during which transmission of the reference signals are stopped. The wireless device may further transmit to the base station, after the time period during which transmission of the reference signals are stopped, uplink signals. The uplink transmission power of the uplink signals being determined by the wireless device based on received power of the first reference signal, and the first downlink transmission power.

  • Publication number: 20240364353
    Abstract: Clock monitors for circuits having a plurality of oscillators. The clock monitors produce an error indication when one oscillator is determined to be outside of a desired operating range or beyond a defined threshold with respect to a second oscillator. The clock monitors include a synchronizer configured to receive a clock signal from a first oscillator of the plurality of oscillators and synchronize the received clock signal with a second oscillator and to produce a synchronized clock signal. The clock monitors can include a counter configured to produce a count value based on synchronized clock signal. The clock monitors include comparison circuitry configured to receive the count value and produce an error indication when the count value is outside a predetermined range. The clock monitors may be used to ensure correct clock operation for different transition scenarios, e.g., turning on or off a certain clock or power domain.

  • Publication number: 20240361866
    Abstract: A method for execution by a computing device includes determining to implement a noise prediction and cancellation operation for a touch signal associated with a touch sensor. The method continues during a first time period with turning off a transmitter associated with the touch sensor and obtaining a noise sample of noise associated with the touch sensor, wherein after the first time period is over, the transmitter is turned on. The method continues with generating a noise estimate of the noise based on the noise sample. The method continues during a second time period with obtaining a reduced noise touch signal associated with the touch sensor based on the noise estimate and determining touch data representing a touch of the touch screen based on the reduced noise touch signal, wherein the reduced noise touch signal is produced by subtracting the noise estimate from a current sample of the touch signal.

  • Publication number: 20240358648
    Abstract: The invention describes a core shell microcapsule wherein the capsule shell is an interfacial copolymer formed of a modified polysaccharide free radical cross-linked with a multifunctional (meth)acrylate. The polysaccharide is hydrophobically modified with an adduct containing at least one unsaturated bond. The modification imparts hydrophobic character to the polysaccharide to act as an emulsifier, driving the modified polysaccharide to an oil-water interface of an encapsulation emulsion described, and creates an active bonding site for free-radical polymerization between the polysaccharide and multifunctional (meth)acrylate, thereby forming a microcapsule shell surrounding the core material.

  • Publication number: 20240360843
    Abstract: Discharge heads with bent supporting legs for vertical pumps are described. A discharge head, according to examples, with bent supporting legs for vertical pump systems allows substantially reduced footprint (i.e., bottom plate size) and weight of discharge head without compromising torsional rigidity and structural integrity. The bent supporting legs coupling the mounting interface and the bottom plate and further connected through orthogonal stabilizers create a monocoque type frame. The reduction in the size of the bottom plate and (and thereby, the weight) allows utilization of valuable space in rig applications for other systems while preserving structural resonance, torsional rigidity performances.

  • Publication number: 20240363261
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for cyclical enrichment, especially of rare earth elements and isotopes. A tube, or ampule, optionally with one crucible, or with two coaxially opposite crucibles in fluid communication, is used to hold a source material in vacuum and irradiate the source material to enrich it with product material. Following the irradiation of the source substance (e.g., Yb, enriched with 176Yb) to yield the product substance (e.g., 177Lu), the mixture may be sublimated to remove most of the source substance and concentrate the product material, e.g., by heating the lower part and cooling the upper part of the tube, to condense sublimated source material at the top of the tube. Consecutively, the concentrated product substance may be purified, while the solidified source structure may be reused in irradiation/sublimation cycles to further enrich and concentrate the product material.
