  • Publication number: 20210034173
    Abstract: An active stylus and a method of generating wireless signals thereof are described. After the active stylus sends a first beacon signal, it determines whether to generate a first or second button signal. When the first and second button signals are both generated, the active stylus generates a first button transmission signal according to a first frequency, generates a second button transmission signal according to a second frequency, and sends out the first and second button transmission signals. Since the frequencies of the first and second button transmission signals are different, the simultaneously sent first and second button transmission signals can be separated by filtering or Fourier transform when a receiving end receives the first and second button send transmission signals. In this way, the overall time for transmitting the first and second button transmission signals can be shortened, thereby quickly transmitting the wireless signals.

  • Patent number: 9696391
    Abstract: A precision high-speed shuttle device for transporting samples between different positions of a superconducting magnet with different magnetic field strength is provided. The sample equilibrated at the center of the magnet, where the magnetic field is the highest and homogeneous, is shuttled to a higher position above, where the fringe field is lower, for a defined period of time and shuttled back to the center for detection. By shuttling the sample to different positions in the magnet in different experiments one can obtain a field-dependent profile of particular physical parameters. The position and timing of the sample are precisely under the experimental controlled. In this way various magnetic field-dependent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments can be conducted in a single high-field NMR spectrometer.
