  • Patent number: 11947348
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller may have control elements configured to receive inputs from a user. A cover may be coupled to the controller. The cover may be movable between a closed position in which the control elements are covered and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. An antenna may be integrated in the cover. The antenna may be electrically connected to circuitry in the controller for communicating with a UAV. In some implementations, a conductive plane and/or an insulating plane may be integrated in the cover. In some implementations, a heatsink, a fan, and/or a support mechanism may be arranged on an under portion of the controller. In some implementations, a circuit board including a cutout may be arranged inside the controller.

  • Patent number: 10402014
    Abstract: Various techniques may be employed for assigning user inputs such as a touch on a touchscreen to various input controls such as buttons or other features provided on a touchscreen. One example input assignment technique is a nearest neighbor technique, whereby a touch may, for example, be assigned to an input control that is positioned closest to the touch location. Another example input assignment technique is an angle and distance technique, whereby a touch may, for example, be assigned to an input control based on an angle and a distance of the touch relative to a prior touch.

  • Patent number: 8213878
    Abstract: A RF switch may be used as a power splitter in order to allow WLAN and Bluetooth (BT) coexistence. Multiple branches of the RF switch are enabled concurrently, which allows WLAN and BT signals to be received simultaneously. The RF switch functions as a power splitter to split signals received from an antenna to both a WLAN receiver and a BT receiver. In one embodiment, a second switch may be placed on an output of a low noise amplifier (LNA). This configuration will operate as a power splitter between WLAN receiver port and a BT port, and maximize the receiver sensitivity by amplifying both the WLAN and BT signals. One or both of the two switches may also function to bypass the LNA when the LNA is not needed to provide a low loss RF path, which serves to broaden the dynamic range of the device and avoid signal distortion during periods of increased signal power.

  • Patent number: 4634313
    Abstract: Apparatus for use in the laying and/or replacement of pipes underground comprises a sleeve having a front end and a rear end, a percussive drive means in the form of a pneumatically-operated impact mole mounted in the sleeve and arranged to drive the front end of said sleeve through the ground, means for securing the leading end of a pipe to the rear end of the sleeve and means for pushing the pipe through a bore formed in the ground as the sleeve is advanced through the ground by the mole. The means for securing the end of the pipe to the sleeve includes an annular spigot which allows relative axial movement to take place between the pipe and the sleeve in order to prevent impact stresses on the sleeve from the mole from being transmitted to the pipe. The pipe pushing means desirably comprise hydraulic rams arranged to bear on a plate located at the rear end of the pipe.
