Patent number: 11979207Abstract: A wireless communication system can include an antenna and an equalization system. The antenna can be configured to wirelessly receive a data signal from a user equipment (UE). The equalization system can be configured to compensate for distortion incurred by the data signal during propagation. The equalization system can include a set of multiplier circuits. Each multiplier circuit can include a first input, a second input, a multiplier device, and a management circuit. The first input can receive a first input signal that corresponds to the data signal. The second input can receive a second input signal that corresponds to a weighting value assigned to a channel associated with the antenna. The multiplier device can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the multiplier device can be configured to perform a multiplication operation on the first input signal and the second input signal. When disabled, the multiplier circuit may not perform the multiplication operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignees: Cornell University, ETH ZURICH, The Swiss Federal Institute of TechnologyInventors: Seyed Hadi Mirfarshbafan, Christoph Studer

Patent number: 11222737Abstract: An electric cable for supplying power to aircrafts, rail vehicles, motor vehicles, ships or other devices is a single or multi-conductor cable and includes one or more current conductors with at least one insulation. A single or multi-layer outer casing is distributed over the periphery and is associated with the outwardly protruding reinforcing elements. The reinforcing elements are in the form of cooling ribs protruding preferably over the entire periphery of the cable and enable the surface of the cable to be increased and as a result, improve heat dissipation. The projecting reinforcing elements considerably reduce the risk of burning when the current conductors heat up and also protect the cable against abrasion. The invention also relates to a plug for the electric cable.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: STUDER AERONAUTICAL AGInventors: Christoph Studer, Geraldine Studer

Patent number: 10049790Abstract: Electrical cable for supplying aircraft and similar devices with alternating current having at least partially higher frequencies of preferably 400 Hz. The cable is provided with a central neutral and/or return conductor and at least six phase conductors arranged in a concentrically distributed manner about the neutral and/or return conductor, wherein every phase is distributed on two symmetrically opposing phase conductors. The neutral and/or return conductor is formed, in a very space-saving manner and with low inductivity, by six individually insulated compact neutral wires, the total cross-section of which approximately corresponds to the cross-section of an individual solid neutral wire.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Inventor: Christoph Studer

Publication number: 20170229215Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical cable for supplying aircraft and similar devices with alternating current having at least partially higher frequencies of preferably 400 Hz. The cable is provided with a central neutral and/or return conductor (1) and at least six phase conductors (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b) arranged in a concentrically distributed manner about same, wherein every phase is distributed on two symmetrically opposing phase conductors (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b or 4a, 4b). The neutral and/or return conductor (1) is formed, in a very space-saving manner and with low inductivity, by preferably six individually insulated compact neutral wires (16), the total cross-section of which approximately corresponds to the cross-section of an individual solid neutral wire. In this way, with six-fold redundancy, the risk of a neutral wire failure is reduced, without diminishing the electrical properties with the inductive voltage drop.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventor: Christoph Studer

Patent number: 9182889Abstract: While a computing device is in a limited-access state, the computing device may output for display a user interface element. Responsive to the computing device receiving an indication of a first user input at a region of a presence-sensitive input device that corresponds to at least a portion of the user interface element as displayed, the computing device may alter the visual appearance of the user interface element to indicate that the user interface element is selected. Responsive to the computing device determining that it has received the indication of the second user input at the region of the presence-sensitive input device within the predefined period of time subsequent to receiving the indication of the first user input, the computing device may activate the user interface element.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Thomas Ramon Karlo, Lee Brandon Keely, Daniel Marc Gatan Shiplacoff, Jorim Dorian Jaggi, Selim Flavio Cinek, Adrian Roos, Michael Adam Cohen, James Brooks Miller, Christoph Studer

Patent number: 7154038Abstract: An electric cable is configured as a sensor cable, wherein the lead insulation of the cable has a polymer layer. The sensor cable can be produced by, after extruding the raw cable, cutting the cable into individual cable sections in a non-crosslinked state. The sections are then connected to a sensor in an electrically conductive manner. The housing of the sensor consists of a plastic material that is compatible with the lead insulation and that is radiation crosslinkable. The polymers of the lead insulation and the polymers of the sensor housing are crosslinkable with themselves and with one another. A compatibilizer or a reactive terpolymer enabling connection of functional groups between the layers can also be added to the lead insulation and/or the plastic housing. The plastic materials of the lead insulation and the sensor housing are crosslinked in a separate crosslinking process under the effect of high-energy electron radiation.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Studer Draht - und Kabelwerk AGInventor: Christoph Studer
