Publication number: 20220393848Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a first signal that is sent in a first direction in a network. Communications in the network are full duplex communications in a same frequency band. The first signal is amplified in the first direction. The method trains a first echo canceller to cancel a first echo signal from the first signal where the first echo signal is received in a second direction. After training the first echo canceller, the trained first echo canceller is enabled. The method receives a second signal in the second direction that is sent in the second direction in the network. The second signal is amplified in the second direction. The method trains a second echo canceller to cancel a second echo signal received in the first direction from the second signal where the first echo canceller cancels the first echo signal that is received in the second direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Thomas J.

Patent number: 10930529Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) includes an elastomeric material that facilitates adhesive attachment with a pick-up head for pick and place operations. The LED includes an epitaxial layer defining a mesa structure and a light emitting surface. The mesa structure includes an active layer to emit light, and the emitted light is reflected at the mesa structure toward a light emitting region of the light emitting surface and transmitted at the light emitting region. An elastomeric material is on a portion of the light emitting surface, such as the light emitting region or a passive region. At the light emitting region, the elastomeric material may be shaped as a lens that collimates light transmitted from the light emitting region, and also facilitates adhesion to the pick-up head. At the passive region, the elastomeric material facilitates adhesion to the pick-up head without interfering with light emitted from the light emitting region.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Pooya Saketi, Patrick Joseph Hughes, William Padraic Henry, Joseph O'Keeffe
