  • Publication number: 20200220674
    Abstract: A wireless device performs spatial reuse in a wireless local area network. When receiving a packet, the wireless device measures a received signal quality from a first portion of the packet, and determines a required signal quality for correctly decoding a payload of the packet based on information in a packet header. The wireless device compares the received signal quality with the required signal quality. If the received signal quality is lower than the required signal quality, the wireless device transmits a signal that overlaps in time and in frequency with a second portion of the packet. Alternatively, a wireless device may identify a Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID) of a received packet. If the BSSID indicates that the packet is an inter-BSS packet, the wireless device transmits a signal overlapping in time and in frequency with the packet before reception of a frame check sequence (FCS) in the packet.

  • Publication number: 20200040635
    Abstract: A car door opening mechanism includes a connection structure that is selectively mounted to a car-door opening/closing side, a car-door bottom side, a car-body opening/closing side, or a car-body bottom side and a first coupling member correspondingly mounted to a car-body opening/closing side, a car-body bottom side, a car-door opening/closing side, or a car-door bottom side. When a car door is at a closed position relative to a car body, the first coupling member and the connection structure are coupled to each other and in opening the car door, the car door is constrained at a non-fully opened position due to the connection structure and the first coupling member being coupled to each other. When the first coupling member and the connection structure are detached from each other, the car door is allowed to open from the non-fully opened position to a fully opened position.

  • Publication number: 20190370313
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dynamically adjusting a title in a donut chart based on an adjustment to the donut chart. The donut chart may include an outer ring portion, an inner hole region, and the title. In particular, the title may be set based on the inner hole region to prevent the title from overlapping the outer ring portion which may prevent the title from obscuring labels located in the outer ring portion. As a property of the donut chart is adjusted, the title may be automatically adjusted for better visual effect. For example, the title may be dynamically resized and/or dynamically rewrapped. In this manner, the title may be dynamically adjusted based on an adjustment to the donut chart, avoiding the tedious process of manually adjusting the title for better visual effect.

The metal outlet connector is detachably mounted to the water outlet of the ceramic vessel and may be formed as a spout or a plug. Water stored in the ceramic vessel has better taste and can be kept at temperatures that are good for brewing coffee or tea. The metal outlet connector is hard in material and is not fractured easily. As the spout-like metal outlet connector is detachable from the ceramic vessel, it is convenient to clean an inside of the metal outlet connector and to store or transport the pour-over kettle. The spout-like metal outlet connector can be replaced by the other spout-like metal outlet connectors with different calibers or by the plug-like metal outlet connector.
