  • Patent number: 11233536
    Abstract: A wireless communication device can include an antenna array configured to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals, RF circuitry, and digital baseband receive circuitry. The RF circuitry is configured to process the plurality of RF signals received via the antenna array to generate a single RF signal. The digital baseband receive circuitry is coupled to the RF circuitry and is configured to generate a downconverted signal based on the single RF signal, amplify the downconverted signal to generate an amplified downconverted signal, and convert the amplified downconverted signal to generate a digital output signal for processing by a wireless modem. The digital baseband receive circuitry further includes at least a first filtering system configured to filter the downconverted signal prior to amplification.

  • Publication number: 20200175076
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for training and implementing an audit generation model in connection with a collection of documents or other searchable content items available across a variety of platforms. In particular, systems disclosed herein receive a search query including one or more search elements for selectively identifying relevant documents from a larger collection of documents. The system can additionally identify portions of the documents responsive to the search query and generate a query result including the identified portions of documents and selectable user interface elements associated with the query result(s). The system can further provide the query result for presentation on a client device. The system can use an audit generation model to receive feedback for the query result(s) and utilize the feedback for tuning or further training the audit generation model.

  • Patent number: 10617181
    Abstract: A separable bracelet band is an apparatus that represents a significant relationship between at least two people. The separable bracelet is separated by an individual into at least two bracelets, each of which is worn by another individual. The separable bracelet includes a tubular body and at least one separation track. The tubular body represents the relationship or connection between at least two people. The tubular body, itself, may be worn as a bracelet. The tubular body is separable into at least two other bracelets along the at least one separation track. The tubular body includes a first open end, a second open end, an inner surface, and an outer surface.

  • Patent number: 10473390
    Abstract: A multi-compartment modular cooler comprising multiple fully enclosed environments, including an insulated cold storage environment, a dry storage environment and an adjustable storage environment that may be either heated or cold storage. The fully enclosed environments may separate into self-contained individual containers. Each of the separate, self-contained enclosures may also recombine into a single unit, simplifying transportation of each section. Connection and disconnection of each section of the cooler may be facilitated by interfacing a plurality of pillars extending from a bottom surface of the upper section into one or more cup holder wells molded into the lid enclosing a lid of the lower section. The depth of the cup holder wells and the length of each pillar being inserted into the cup holder wells may provide significant stability for maintaining the upper section of the multi-compartment cooler in position while connected to the upper section.

  • Patent number: 10306956
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention a Friendship bracelet that appears as one but can be torn into two individual bracelets for each friend to wear and be connected to each other is disclosed. The invention described here allows a proper link between both friends who wear half of the bracelet. The result is a proper symbol that connects two friends to each other by wearing half of a bracelet that used to be one single bracelet before being torn in two. The friendship bracelet according to another embodiment of the present invention that appears as one but can be torn into a plurality of individual bracelets for each friend in a group to wear and be connected to one another is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8638251
    Abstract: A continuous time delta-sigma modulator is provided that includes an integrator stage including a plurality of integrators; a quantizer to receive an input signal from the integrator stage and output a quantizer signal; a global feedback path providing feedback from the quantizer to the integrator stage; a local feedback path connecting the quantizer and a preceding integrator of the integrator stage configured to compensate for delay attributed to the global feedback path; and a delay compensation circuit. The delay compensation circuit is configured to calculate a delay value based on sources of additional delay within a local feedback loop, and to supply the additional delay value to the quantizer to compensate for delay within the local feedback loop.

  • Publication number: 20070006878
    Abstract: The present invention is an oro-fiberscopic biteblock. The biteblock is utilized during oral fiberscopic procedures. The biteblock includes a main structure having an orifice sized to accommodate entry of a fiberscope, such as an endoscope, through the orifice. The biteblock includes an extension extending inward from the main structure when positioned within the mouth of a patient. On each side of the orifice is a loop for handling and positioning the biteblock within the patient's mouth. The biteblock includes an exhalation tube running from the extension to a monitoring device which allows monitoring of the patient's expelled gases. In addition, an inhalation tube may be used to provide supplemental oxygen to the patient. The biteblock is positioned in the mouth of the patient with the mouth of the patient surrounding the extension. The tubes include openings which are located on the extension and lie in the interior of the mouth to provide monitoring of uncontaminated gasses expelled by the patient.

  • Publication number: 20050140431
    Abstract: A resistor capacitor (RC) tracking loop includes a parasitic insensitive integrator (211) charged by a buffer (207) with offset compensation. The integrator (211) operates to provide an accurate ramped voltage proportional to a measured RC time constant. A single comparator (213) is used for sensing the voltage ramp rate by detecting two multiplexed reference voltages (VREFLO VREFHI). A timer within controller (201) is triggered by the VREFLO crossing at comparator (213). The timer counts the number of precision reference clock periods (FREF) that occur between the VREFLO and VREFHI crossings and adjusts an accumulator within controller (201) to a value (M). This value (M) is directly used to adjust a resistor and/or capacitor array used in a continuous time filter whose bandwidth and corner frequency can be precisely tuned.

  • Publication number: 20050132972
    Abstract: Precut, production blank components can be folded manually to form a birdhouse without the need for tools or other aids in assembly, even where the blank components are manufactured from metal, rigid plastic or the like. The precut blank components include a one-piece main panel and a detached panel. The one-piece panel includes a rear section, a base section, first and second side sections, and a top section. Each section includes precut slots, tabs and hinges that act as folding guides, allowing the blank to easily fold into a structure defining an enclosure like the birdhouse. The detached panel then is mounted to the so constructed main panel to cover the enclosure and thereby complete the birdhouse.

  • Patent number: 6900432
    Abstract: A method for detecting gases or vapors emitted from materials, such as electrical components, under conditions at which there is a risk of the onset of fire, said method comprising sampling gas from the region of the material using an ion mobility spectrometer tuned to detect specific volatilized materials. The signal can be used to determine a fire risk and to trigger alarms as necessary. The method provides rapid detection with high sensitivity and high selectivity so as to minimize false alarms. Apparatus for use in the method is also described and claimed.
