Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to reporting a power limit along with an indication of at least one constraint upon which the power limit is based. In some aspects, the constraint is a radio frequency (RF) exposure constraint. For example, a power headroom limit calculated by a first apparatus may be constrained by a specific absorption rate (SAR) limit or a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The first apparatus may thus report to a second apparatus the current power headroom limit of the first apparatus along with an indication of whether the power headroom limit is constrained by an SAR limit or an MPE limit (e.g., as opposed to being constrained by a maximum transmit power limit). The second apparatus may then schedule the first apparatus taking into account the power headroom limit and the corresponding constraint (e.g., maximum power or SAR/MPE).

The wireless device may adjust at least one radio frequency (RF) transmission parameter based at least in part on the allowable energy density at the object.

Abstract: Contamination in a feedback signal is eliminated in a laser scanning arrangement having a drive coil driven by a drive signal formed as a periodic train of drive pulses to oscillate a scan mirror and a light beam reflected from the scan mirror. A feedback coil generates a feedback signal during oscillation of the scan mirror, the feedback coil being in proximity with the drive coil and being subject to corruption by cross-coupling between the coils. The drive coil is not driven with at least one drive pulse during a quiet time period. Cross-coupling is eliminated by generating the feedback signal only during the quiet time period, and by monitoring a position of the scan mirror by processing the feedback signal which was generated only during the quiet time period.

Abstract: A radio transmission telemetry system includes several transmitters intermittently transmitting short messages indicative associated sensors status and a receiver for collecting data from the sensors. Each transmitter changes time and frequency of transmissions according to a time-frequency pattern that is different for each transmitter. The receiver identifies each source of transmissions based on its unique variations of the transmission time and frequency, thus eliminating the necessity to include the transmitter ID code in each transmitted message. Thus, overhead in the transmissions is reduced. In addition, the sensor status and other supervisory information such as battery status are partitioned and included in the transmitted messages in portions and at different rates according to the state of the PN-generator for producing the time-frequency pattern. The receiver can determine what and when is included without additional control bits in the transmitted messages.

Abstract: A radio transmission system including many radio transmitters using frequency hopping carriers to intermittently transmit very short messages indicative of status of stimuli associated with the transmitters. The transmitters transmit transmissions independently of a receiver receiving the transmissions and independent of each other. In operation, radio transmitters transmit messages at varying frequencies at time intervals that can be varied as well. The frequency and time intervals are varied according to patterns that can be determined individually for each transmitter. A receiver holds data indicative of the future transmission frequency and time for each transmitter and updates the data based on the time and the content of the received messages. In addition, a simple method is provided to generate a very large number of orthogonal frequency-time hopping sequences that are individual for each transmitter and based on the transmitter ID.

Abstract: A telemetry system includes many radio transmitters using frequency hopping carriers to intermittently transmit transmissions indicative of status of sensors associated with the transmitters. The transmitters transmit transmissions independently of a receiver receiving the transmissions and independently of each other. The carrier frequency and the time between transmissions are changed according to a frequency-time hopping sequence that is different for each transmitter. The sequences and the resulting frequency ad time hopping are predictable and can be reproduced in the receiver based on the transmitter ID number. The system also includes one or more receivers containing a plurality of memory registers to hold, simultaneously for each transmitter, digital data indicative of (a) expected time and (b) expected frequency of the next transmission occurrence. The data is updated based on the time and the content of the received transmissions.
