  • Publication number: 20220046724
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20210150690
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for optical product authentication, in which a product is labeled with optically active particles, a reference image is recorded in a registration step and a recognition image of the optically active particles is recorded in a recognition step. The product is then authenticated by comparing image data or a coding derived from image data in the registration step versus the recognition step.

  • Patent number: 10906452
    Abstract: A control device for a headlight for emitting light according to a headlight signal corresponding to an adjustable light distribution. The control device outputs the headlight signal, corresponding to the adjustable light distribution, to the headlight. The control device has an evaluation unit that determines object position data of the object when particles are detected using a detection unit and a self-illuminating object is detected, and to determine, as a function of the object position data, a region in which the object is located. The evaluation unit also generates data for the light distribution as a function of the region in such a way that a light intensity in the region is reduced or increased with respect to a light intensity outside this region, and correspondingly to determine and output the headlight signal from the data for the light distribution.

  • Patent number: 10670009
    Abstract: A controller of an electromagnetically driven reciprocating pump influences velocity of the magnetic armature by switching voltage applied to the electromagnet depending on the position of the magnetic armature, its position determined from state variables of the electromagnet. A processor calculates electrical resistance of the magnetic coil from the voltage and current measured by the measuring device, and calculates the temporal change of the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet from the electrical voltage, the current and the resistance of the magnetic coil, and calculates the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet from an earlier magnetic flux and from the temporal change, and determines the position of the magnetic armature from the linked magnetic flux in the electromagnet and the electrical current through the magnetic coil, and switches the voltage at the magnetic coil by the switching device depending on the position of the magnetic armature.

  • Publication number: 20190331109
    Abstract: An electrofluidic assembly and method for its operation. The functions of a reciprocating pump and of a valve should be combined in one assembly. Here, in particular the pump and the valve should interact so that a small number of line connections are required. A pump assembly and a valve are arranged on an identical central line and use a bearing rod jointly for movable bearing of a first solenoid armature which activates a displacement apparatus of the pump assembly on one hand and a second solenoid armature of the valve which activates a group of closing bodies on the other hand. The electrofluidic assembly can be used for monitoring tank systems.
