  • Patent number: 12176158
    Abstract: An illumination system and method are disclosed for maintaining a consistent change in illumination value among a group of illumination devices whenever a change command is manually sent from a keypad to those illumination devices. The consistent change results from maintaining a common start illumination value among not only the group, but also the keypad which controls the group. From the start illumination value, the keypad can then compute an end illumination value depending upon the amount of time that an increase or decrease in illumination value button is depressed and held. Since the change command can arrive at different illumination devices within the group depending upon where each illumination device is geographically located, a masking time is reserved after the button is released so that enough time is allocated for each of the illumination devices within that group to arrive at a common end illumination value.

  • Patent number: 12177658
    Abstract: A first dual SIM user equipment (UE) has a first wireless connection to first Citizens Broadband radio Services Devices (CBSD) of a first network and a second wireless connection to a second CBSD of a second network. Different encryption and different frequency hopping patterns are used with regard to communicating the same voice packet information over the first and second wireless connections. The same voice information is attempted to be redundantly communicated over the two connections, e.g. concurrently or with a slight delay with regard to the two connections. The CBRS communications are typically less reliable than cellular licensed spectrum communications, and a particular encrypted voice packet may, and sometimes is lost; however, the redundancy is used to compensate for expected losses. Successfully recovered encrypted voice packets are sent from the CBSDs to a packet synchronizer which performs decryption and combines the recovered packets into a single packet stream.

  • Patent number: 12173108
    Abstract: A method of independently changing a melt rheology property value of a bimodal polyethylene polymer being made using a bimodal catalyst system in a single gas phase polymerization reactor. The method comprises process conditions comprising alkane(s) in the reactor. The method comprises a bimodal catalyst system that is characterized by an inverse response to alkane(s) concentration. The method comprises changing concentration of the alkane(s) in the reactor by an amount sufficient to effect a measurable change in the melt rheology property value; wherein the bimodal catalyst system is characterized by an inverse response to alkane(s) concentration such that when the alkane(s) concentration is increased, the melt rheology property value of the resulting bimodal polyethylene polymer is decreased, and when the alkane(s) concentration is decreased, the melt rheology property value of the resulting bimodal polyethylene polymer is increased.
