  • Patent number: 11646755
    Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for amplifying radio signals between a terminal and an antenna or an antenna connection of a circuit having an amplification unit and a detector unit, which has signal branches designed for different frequency ranges, and a power detector. A transmission signal received by the terminal is divided into at least a first signal part and a second signal part. The first signal part is applied to the signal branches of the detector unit. A frequency range of the first signal part is determined by sequential application of the signal branches of the detector unit to the power detector for evaluating a power of the first signal part. For the second signal part, the signal routing in the amplification unit is adjusted based on the frequency range determined by the detector unit. At least the second signal part is amplified by the amplification unit.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of current control circuits and methods of modulating supply current from a first device (e.g., a telematics control unit (TCU), etc.) to one or more second devices (e.g., one or more compensators, etc.). In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes modulating a supply current from a first device to a second device into different current values for reporting different information from the second device to the first device. An exemplary embodiment of a current control circuit includes a variable voltage source electrically coupled with a current source and a current sink. The current control circuit is configured to modulate the supply current from a first device to the second device into different current values for reporting different information from the second device to the first device.

  • Publication number: 20220214385
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of methods and systems of power detection in RE circuits to provide gain compensation for vehicle systems. In exemplary embodiments, a module (e.g., a front end module (FEM), compensor, compensator, etc.) includes a gain modifier, a power detector, and a controller. The power detector is configured to detect a power output of the gain modifier. The controller is configured to determine a mean of n samples taken by the power detector. The controller is also configured to determine a boundary to mean ratio of the n samples. The controller is further configured to adjust a detected value of the power detector based on the mean and the boundary to mean ratio.

  • Publication number: 20090090121
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit comprising a cooling tank, which includes an inner tank having a refrigerated space, and an evaporator. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit in which an evaporator as well as at least one further electrical and/or technical cooling functional component are inserted in an inner tank of the refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit and are fastened to an inner tank wall. Installing the various electrical and technical cooling components after one another individually at different positions of the inner tank of the unit and individually connecting them to the outwardly disposed electronics of the unit is avoided with the present invention. Already installing individual components before the foaming of the unit tank is in particular also avoided, whereby the housing handling is considerably facilitated.

  • Publication number: 20070210089
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing a mounting arrangement for mounting elements on the plastic inner lining of a thermally foam-insulated wall of a refrigerator and/or freezer, wherein either the inner lining of plastic material is deep-drawn with a receiving contour, which is shaped such that it at least partly corresponds to the outer contour of the element to be mounted, so that the element to be mounted can be received by the receiving contour, and the element to be mounted is inserted, or wherein the element to be mounted is inserted into a deep-drawing tool and the inner lining of plastic material is deep-drawn by at least partly reproducing the element to be mounted for forming a receiving contour in the plastic inner lining for the element to be mounted, before in both cases a thermal foam insulation is foamed on the back of the plastic inner lining.
