  • Publication number: 20240114551
    Abstract: A triggering frame in a wireless network grants a medium to an AP for a TXOP. The frame defines RUs and allocates Uplink RUs to UL transmissions for an UL duration and Direct Link RUs to P2P transmissions. All the P2P exchanges are nested within the UL duration, hence avoiding an acknowledgment frame in the DiL RUs to interfere with a block-ack frame of the AP after the UL transmissions. This is relevant for DiL RUs adjacent, in frequency, to the other defined RUs. The block-ack frame is duplicated over the DiL RUs. The RU immediately adjacent to the DiL RUs is declared, in the triggering frame, as being unused: no non-AP station is allowed to use it during the UL duration, or even the TXOP. Such empty RU may be declared only in case the DiL transmission requires a response frame from the destination P2P station.

  • Patent number: 11400666
    Abstract: A laser projection method and device for drape-molding a part on a mold includes encoders to determine the theoretical position of calibration patterns according to a displacement of the mold such that a laser projector is automatically recalibrated when the mold is repositioned during the drape-molding operation.
