  • Publication number: 20240353738
    Abstract: This application provides a camera lens, a camera apparatus, and an electronic device. Lenses of an optical system of the camera lens are divided into two groups, and focusing of the optical system is implemented by moving one group of lenses. In this way, high imaging quality of a primary camera lens in a case in which a focus distance is infinity can be ensured and imaging quality in a case in which the focus distance is a macro distance can be improved without adding an additional wide-angle lens or a dedicated macro lens and without increasing surface process complexity and manufacturing difficulty of the primary camera lens.

  • Publication number: 20240357265
    Abstract: A seafloor observation network-based subsurface buoy device with real-time power supplying and high-speed data transmitting is provided. The subsurface buoy device includes a seabed base deployed on the seafloor and a vertical mooring system connected to a bottom surface of the seabed base to extend to the sea surface. The seabed base serves as a gravity anchor to enable the subsurface buoy device to be positioned stably at a layout site, and is further used for obtaining power supply of the subsurface buoy device from a junction box of a seafloor observation network. The seabed base also sends the management and control commands from the junction box to the vertical mooring system, and transmits the data collected by the vertical mooring system back to the junction box in real time.

  • Publication number: 20240352980
    Abstract: An actuator includes a motor, a transmission mechanism, a clutch mechanism, and an output shaft. The motor is connected to the clutch mechanism in a transmission manner through the transmission mechanism. The clutch mechanism is connected to the output shaft. The transmission mechanism is power-coupled to the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when the motor drives the output shaft to rotate. The transmission mechanism is power-decoupled from the output shaft by using the clutch mechanism when an external force drives the output shaft to rotate. The charging port cover including the foregoing actuator has a function of preventing the charging port cover from being opened by mistake. A user needs to apply an external force to manually open the charging port cover when the motor fails and the charging port cover cannot be normally opened, to effectively prevent the charging port cover from being opened by mistake.

  • Publication number: 20240352236
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound thickener comprising rhamsan gum and gellan gum. In the compound thickener, rhamsan gum accounts for 50%-95% of the total weight of rhamsan gum and gellan gum. The combination of rhamsan gum and gellan gum in the compound thickener produces a synergistic effect, and its viscosity is remarkably improved. The compound thickener can be applied to products such as foods, beverages, pharmaceutical products, and personal care products, and when the compound thickener is applied as a gelling agent in soft capsule shells, the shell strength and the shell elasticity are better.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate on first and second carriers, and may support either two transmit chains or three transmit chains on a second carrier. A base station may configure different sounding reference signal (SRS) resources for different numbers of transmit chains. SRS resources configured with two ports may indicate two transmit chains, and SRS resource configured with three ports may indicate three transmit chains. The base station may indicate an index associated with an SRS resource, and the UE may select (e.g., based on a mapping between the SRS Configuration Information resource index and a number of SRS ports and a number of transmit chains), a corresponding SRS resource, number of ports, number of transmit chains, or any combination thereof. The base station may indicate a number of transmit chains for a given SRS resource based on a PMI index.

  • Publication number: 20240356217
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a controllable reflective surface (e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)) that reflects in multiple directions simultaneously. The controllable reflective surface may include an array of reflecting elements, each reflecting element comprising a radiating component and a phase-shifting component. The array of reflecting elements may be configured to receive control signal sets, where each control signal set configures the array of reflecting elements into a reflecting configuration having a plurality of subsets of the reflecting elements. Here, each subset of the plurality of subsets is configured to reflect radio frequency (RF) signals in a respective direction different from other ones of the first plurality of subsets. The reflecting configuration may define, for example, a block-wise configuration, and interlaced configuration, or a hybrid configuration of the plurality of subsets. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
