Patent number: 11943651Abstract: Data is transmitted from a first wireless station comprising first and second transmitters to a second wireless station comprising first and second receivers. In the absence of radio link failure detection, first data is transmitted via a first radio link from the first transmitter to the first receiver using a first subset of first radio resource blocks and transmitting second data via a second radio link from the second transmitter to the second receiver using second subset of the first radio resource blocks. The first and second radio links are monitored for a failure. If first radio link failure is detected, the second radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks. If second radio link failure is detected, the first radio link is operated using a combination of the first and second subsets of the first radio resource blocks.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Cambium Networks LtdInventors: Antony Jamin, Mark Thomas, Gregor Dean

Patent number: 10666277Abstract: A method for simulating and optimizing a digital to analog converter is disclosed. The method may include receiving a plurality of digital words. The method may also include determining an effective number of bits, a respective amplitude and a first amplitude correction amount for each digital word. Further, the first amplitude correction amount may be applied to each respective amplitude to generate respective first corrected amplitudes. A timing uncertainty may be determined which may be used to determine a second amplitude correction for each digital word. The second amplitude correction may be applied to each of the respective first corrected amplitudes to generate respective second corrected amplitudes. Next, a representation of an analog signal may be generated based in part on the second corrected amplitudes. Finally, a filter may be applied to the representation of the analog signal and then the representation of the analog signal is outputted.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Georgia Tech Research CorporationInventors: Siddharth Jacob Varughese, Jerrod Scott Langston, Stephen E.

Patent number: 6311809Abstract: A first screw body (58) is rotatively mounted around a screwing axis (C; C′, C″), that extends parallel to the axis (A) of the brake disk (10) in a housing axially arranged next to the brake disk (10) in the mounted position. A second screw body (66) is secured against rotation and linked to the first screw body (58) by a readjustment threaded coupling (68), so that both screw bodies (58, 66) form together a longitudinally adjustable tappet for exercising an actuating force on a brake shoe (22). A rotary body (42) can be rotated around its own axis of rotation (B) by means of an actuating member (38) in order to axially displace the tappet The axis of rotation (B) is at least approximately parallel to the brake disk. Linking gears arranged between the rotary body (42) and the first screw body (58) have a right-angle gear a drive and a coupling device (90) which transmit a limited torque for readjusting said brake shoe.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1998Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Lucas Industries PLCInventors: Paul Antony Thomas, Andre Luciano D'Andrea Mathias
