  • Patent number: 11771815
    Abstract: In one example embodiment, an apparatus may include a panel with integrated fluid channels, wherein the panel and the fluid channel consist only of surfaces that can be manufactured with a straight-pull mold. A port may also be integrated into the panel to facilitate coupling the fluid channel to pneumatic components in an assembly. A seal may be secured to the panel over the fluid channel to form an integrated fluid conductor. The seal is preferably an adhesive label that can also be used for product labeling. Such an apparatus may be used in a control unit of a therapy system, employing several integrated fluid conductors. A method of manufacturing may include molding a panel, wherein the mold forms a channel integral to the panel. The panel and the channel preferably consist of surfaces that can be molded with a straight-pull mold.

  • Publication number: 20230308119
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) architecture for sounding reference signal (SRS) antenna switching using a first power amplifier module (PAM) and a remote module (second PAM) to control local and remote antennas. The modules include various transmit and receive signal paths, power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers, filters for signal conditioning, and switch blocks comprising a plurality of switches for selectively routing the signal paths. In certain embodiments, external bypass ports may be included to increase the connectivity of the modules and provide for additional operating modes of the FE. The FE SRS architecture advantageously reduces insertion losses (including switching losses), reduces component count and the number of external connections to the FE, and can provide improved isolation performance in a compact package.

  • Patent number: 11770104
    Abstract: Envelope tracking systems for power amplifiers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an envelope tracker is provided for a power amplifier that amplifies an RF signal. The envelope tracker includes a multi-level switching circuit having an output that provides an output current that changes in relation to an envelope signal indicating an envelope of the RF signal when the envelope tracker is operating in an envelope tracking mode. The multi-level switching circuit includes a multi-level supply (MLS) modulator that receives multiple regulated voltages of different voltage levels, and an MLS control circuit that controls the selection of the MLS modulator over time based on the envelope signal. When transitioning the MLS modulator from selection of one regulated voltage level to another regulated voltage level, the MLS control circuit provides a soft transition to gradually switch the regulated voltage levels.
