  • Publication number: 20240128945
    Abstract: A flexible multi-path RF adaptive tuning network switch architecture that counteracts impedance mismatch conditions arising from various combinations of coupled RF band filters, particularly in a Carrier Aggregation-based (CA) radio system. In one version, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network is coupled to a multi-path RF switch in order to provide adaptive impedance matching for various combinations of RF band filters. Optionally, some or all RF band filters include an associated digitally-controlled filter pre-match network to further improve impedance matching. In a second version, some or all RF band filters coupled to a multi-path RF switch include a digitally-controlled phase matching network to provide necessary per-band impedance matching. Optionally, a digitally-controlled tunable matching network may be included on the common port of the multi-path RF switch to provide additional impedance matching capability.

  • Publication number: 20240112945
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a susceptor for thermal processing is provided. The susceptor includes an outer rim surrounding and coupled to an inner dish, the outer rim having an inner edge and an outer edge. The susceptor further includes one or more structures for reducing a contacting surface area between a substrate and the susceptor when the substrate is supported by the susceptor. At least one of the one or more structures is coupled to the inner dish proximate the inner edge of the outer rim.

  • Publication number: 20230296790
    Abstract: An apparatus that performs spoof detection of satellite signals based on clock information derived from the satellite signals. The apparatus may include a position, velocity, time (PVT) component that derives the clock information from the satellite signals and provides the clock information to a spoof detection mechanism. In some embodiments, the clock frequency estimate is modeled as a Wiener process.

  • Publication number: 20230283567
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for programming hierarchical schedulers for ports of network devices. A configuration for configuring a hierarchy of a plurality of scheduling nodes of a packet scheduler is received. The packet scheduler is configured to schedule packets for egress out of a port of the network device. The configuration is specified in a human-readable format. Based on the configuration, the packet scheduler of the port is programmed. A plurality of packets are received at a plurality of physical queues communicatively coupled to the packet scheduler. The packet scheduler is used to select a packet in the plurality of packets from a physical queue in the plurality of physical queues. The selected packet is forwarded out the port of the network device.

  • Publication number: 20230257975
    Abstract: A shower attachment device includes a funnel, an elastic cord, a cleat, and a hose. The funnel includes a top portion defining an inlet and a bottom portion defining an outlet. The elastic cord is coupled to a first side of the top portion. The cleat extends from a second side of the top portion that is opposite the first side. The cleat is configured to cooperate with the elastic cord to permit the elastic cord to be removably coupled to the second side of the top portion. The hose is attached to the outlet and in fluid communication with an interior of the funnel.

  • Publication number: 20230185775
    Abstract: Monitoring devices, such as air particle counters, having mesh network capabilities are described for implementation in environmental monitoring within a facility. The air particle counters run samples at various facility locations based on a standard operating procedure (SOP). Each air particle counter can opportunistically connect with one or more other air particle counters using mesh networking. Data from samples run by and any new or updated SOP received at the air particle counters can be distributed via database replication across the other air particle counters using the mesh networking such that each air particle counter has a copy of the sample data and a current SOP within its database. A dashboard user interface displaying a hierarchical representation of the SOP and an associated compliance status with the SOP can be generated and updated based on data received from the air particle counters to facilitate SOP management.
