Patent number: 9912425Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) communication circuitry comprises an RF transceiver and conflict detection circuitry. The RF transceiver includes a first communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a first local oscillator (LO) receive frequency; and a second communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a second LO receive frequency and to operate simultaneously with the first communication path. The conflict detection circuitry is configured to determine path crosstalk using the first and second LO receive frequencies and using a first LO transmit frequency used by the first RF transceiver or a second RF transceiver to up-convert electrical signals for RF transmission, and initiate a change of the first LO receive frequency by a first frequency shift value and a change of the second LO receive frequency by a second frequency shift value in response to the path crosstalk.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Peter Laaser, Christoph Schultz, Christian Duerdodt

Patent number: 8848847Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a combined mixer filter circuit. The circuit includes a sampler, a plurality of filter branches, and a coefficient generator. The sampler is configured to provide a sampled signal by sampling a received signal at a specified rate. The plurality of filter branches has selectable filter coefficients. The plurality of filter branches are configured to receive the sampled signal and generate a mixed and filtered output signal without a separate mixer component. The coefficient generator is coupled to the plurality of filter branches. The coefficient generator is configured to assign filter coefficient values to the selectable filter coefficients to yield a selected mixing function for the mixed filtered output signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Intel Mobile Communications GmbHInventors: Christoph Schultz, Markus Hammes, Rainer Kreienkamp

Patent number: 6006603Abstract: Besides the individual modules (1', 1'"), a compressed air maintenance device consisting of individual easily interchangeable modules (1), e.g. pressure regulators, oil atomisers (1'"), condensate separators (1'), in which the individual modules (1) may have emitters (8) for the actual operating status and/or predetermined limit values, also has an indicating and monitoring module (1") having optical and/or acoustic signalling devices (10) for the operational and/or fault status determined for the individual modules (1). Said signalling devices (10) can be easily coupled to the relevant emitters (8) of the modules (1). Any necessary maintenance work or operational breakdowns are thus easily recognizable.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1997Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: J. Lorch Ges. & Co.
