  • Patent number: 11079429
    Abstract: An ATE testing system (900, 1000) for millimetre wave (mmW) packaged integrated circuits (820) includes: at least one packaged integrated circuit (820); a radio frequency, RF, socket (700) configured to receive the at least one packaged integrated circuit (820) and facilitate routing RF signals thereto via at least one input connector and at least one output connector; and at least one interface configured to couple a tester to at least one packaged integrated circuit (820). The RF socket (700) includes a mmW absorber (1010) located adjacent the at least one output connector of the RF socket (700).

  • Patent number: 10325508
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a hand-portable electronic device including a detection-and-ranging element configured to provide spatial information of one or more physical objects in a space around the hand-held portable electronic device for collision avoidance, the detection-and-ranging element configured to transmit one or more electromagnetic, wireless detection signals and configured to detect one or more reflections of said one or more electromagnetic, wireless detection signals from the one or more objects.

  • Patent number: 10272927
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to receive first sensor data from a sensor system of the first entity and a receiver. The receiver is configured to receive second sensor data from a second entity in the vehicle to vehicle network over a communication network and provide the second sensor data to the processor. The second sensor data comprises a first type of sensor data having a first bandwidth requirement. The processor is further configured to determine an available bandwidth of the communication system; and when the first bandwidth requirement exceeds the communication bandwidth, select a second type of sensor data having a second bandwidth requirement. The second bandwidth requirement is less than the first bandwidth requirement. The processor is further configured to process the first and second sensor data to at least partially determine an environment surrounding the first entity.
