Patent number: 12150013Abstract: A mobile device may be configured to perform concurrent Satellite Positioning System (SPS) operation and wireless communications when uplink signals transmitted by the mobile device interferes with the reception of SPS signals in one or more frequency bands. The mobile device may determine if the SPS receiver has already acquired SPS signals and is in a tracking state. If the SPS receiver is not in a tracking state, an SPS acquisition procedure is initiated before the wireless communication session is initiated. The SPS acquisition procedure is performed until the SPS receiver reaches a tracking state, or until a timeout is reached. Once the SPS receiver is in a tracking state, the wireless communication session may be initiated, during which the SPS receiver is controlled, e.g., to perform signal blanking, measurement exclusion, or disable SPS reception, to mitigate interference with SPS signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jordan Cookman, Liang Zhao, Angelica Wong, Krishnaranjan Rao, Chang Row

Patent number: 12115771Abstract: In devices with flexible displays, multilayer adhesive stacks may be included. A multilayer adhesive may attach a flexible display panel to the display cover layer in an electronic device. Including multiple layers of adhesive in the adhesive stack (as opposed to a single layer) provides more degrees of freedom for the tuning and optimization of the properties of the adhesive stack. The multilayer adhesive stack therefore has better performance than if only a single layer of adhesive is used. The multilayer adhesive stack may include one or more layers of soft adhesive, hard adhesive, hard elastomer, hard polymer, and/or glass to optimize the mechanical and optical performance of the multilayer adhesive stack. Soft adhesive layers may be included to optimize lateral decoupling (e.g., during folding and unfolding) of the adhesive stack. Harder layers may be included to provide rigidity and prevent denting during impact events.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Xiaowei Wu, Hoon Sik Kim, Yuxi Zhao, Terry C Lam, Yasmin F Afsar, Chang-Chia Huang, Bhadrinarayana Lalgudi Visweswaran, Supriya Goyal, Paul S Drzaic
