Publication number: 20240334123Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Taiwan Carol Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ching-Lu Chang, Chao-Chih Chang

Publication number: 20220417730Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Chih-Yuan TSAI, Chao-Chih CHANG
