  • ADAPTIVE REPETITION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20190356428
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively selecting a repetition level in wireless communications, based on events to improve coverage range via the repetition level while not unnecessarily reducing throughput. One such event can include a current signal-to-noise-ratio, e.g., as reported in a channel quality indicator report from a user equipment. Another such event can comprise a number of consecutive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments or negative acknowledgments (HARQ ACKS/NACKS), in which consecutive ACKs tend to indicate good signal quality, while consecutive NACKs tend to indicate poor signal quality. A combination of channel quality indicator-based adaptive repetition level and HARQ ACK/NACK-based adaptive repetition level can be employed.

  • BUTTON SWITCH AND KEYSWITCH THEREOF
    Publication number: 20190244770
    Abstract: A button switch includes a base having a pillar, a cover disposed on the base, a sleeve, an arm adjacent to the pillar and an elastic member having upward-force-applying, extending-rod, and flexible-rod portions. The sleeve jackets the pillar, passes through the cover, and has first and second ribs. The upward-force-applying portion jackets the pillar and abuts against the sleeve and the base to drive the sleeve to move away from the base. The extending-rod portion extends from the upward-force-applying portion to be connected to the flexible-rod portion located under the first rib. When the sleeve is located at a high position, the second rib biases the arm to deform. When the sleeve is located at a low position, the second rib is misaligned with the arm. The flexible-rod portion crosses the first rib to be released and then collides with the cover to make sound as the sleeve is pressed.

  • OPTICAL KEYSWITCH
    Publication number: 20190238131
    Abstract: An optical keyswitch includes a keycap, a supporting mechanism having a protrusion disposed under the keycap to support the keycap to move downward or upward, and a switch module including a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver. The emitter and the receiver are electrically connected to the circuit board. The emitter emits an optical signal to the receiver. When the keycap is not pressed, the receiver receives the optical signal of a first intensity. When the keycap is pressed, the protrusion moves along with the keycap, and the protrusion changes the optical signal received by the receiver to have a second intensity different from the first intensity, so the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.

  • OPTICAL KEYSWITCH
    Publication number: 20190214987
    Abstract: An optical keyswitch includes a casing having a movable portion, a shaft movably disposed on the casing, a resilient member accommodated in the casing, and a switch module including a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver. The emitter emits an optical signal along an optical path to the receiver. When the shaft is at a non-pressed position, the movable portion has a first spatial relation with the optical path, and the receiver receives the optical signal of a first intensity. When the shaft moves, in response to a pressing force, to a pressed position, the shaft compresses the resilient member and pushes the movable portion to move, so the movable portion no longer has the first spatial relation with the optical path, the optical signal received by the receiver has a second intensity different from the first intensity, and the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.
