  • Publication number: 20240334123
    Abstract: A microphone includes a housing unit, a capsule unit mounted on the housing unit, a noise-counteracting unit electrically connected to the capsule unit with opposite electrical polarity, and a damping unit connected to the housing unit. The capsule unit generates a primary electrical signal composed of a primary signal part attributed to an acoustic wave and a secondary signal part attributed to a first mechanical wave which is generated due to vibration of the housing. The noise-counteracting unit generates a secondary electrical signal attributed to the first mechanical wave and having an electrical polarity opposite to that of the primary electrical signal, so that the secondary electrical signal may counteract the secondary signal part of primary electrical signal. The damping unit generates a second mechanical wave to counteract the first mechanical wave when the first and second mechanical waves are transmitted to the capsule unit.

  • Publication number: 20220417730
    Abstract: A method for simultaneous Reception (Rx) or Transmission (Tx) associated with dual subscriber numbers using a single RF device in a User Equipment (UE) is provided. The UE determines whether a trigger condition for enabling simultaneous Rx or Tx operation associated with two separate subscriber numbers is met. In response to the trigger condition being met, the UE reports a first value representing an aggregated bandwidth or a number of CCs or MIMO layers for one of the two separate subscriber numbers to a mobile communication network via the single RF device, so as to enable simultaneous Rx or Tx operation associated with the two separate subscriber numbers. In particular, the first value is less than a second value representing a maximum aggregated bandwidth or a maximum number of CCs or MIMO layers supported by the UE's capability.

  • Publication number: 20080298609
    Abstract: A microphone includes first and second magnet units disposed in a head housing and spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the head housing. The first and second magnet units generate respectively first and second magnetic fields. A response unit is mounted in the head housing, is disposed between the first and second magnet units in the axial direction, and includes a diaphragm, and a conductive wiring disposed at the diaphragm. When the diaphragm vibrates between the first and second magnet units in response to an external sound wave signal, an electrical signal corresponding to the sound wave signal is induced in the conductive wiring as a result of action of the first and second magnetic fields.
