  • Publication number: 20230232336
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device comprises a wireless transceiver to transmit a packet and a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver. The processor is to update a running average of a radiation level over a time period. The running average is based on a quantity of packets transmitted by the wireless transceiver during the time period and a radiation level associated with the quantity of packets. The processor is to determine whether the running average exceeds a threshold and to control transmission power for the packet based on the determination and based on a destination of the packet.

  • Patent number: 11314313
    Abstract: Screen casting on between two devices is described. In an example implementation, a communication link is established by a first device with a second device for casting a screen of the second device on the first device. Upon establishing the communication link, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set a backlight of the screen of the second device based on user backlight settings. When no user activity is detected on the second device for a specific time period, a request message is received by the first device from the second device, indicating switching the backlight of the screen of the second device to power-saving backlight settings. In response to the request message, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set the backlight of the screen of the second device based on the power-saving backlight settings.

  • Patent number: 11145954
    Abstract: Examples relating to an antenna for a communication device are described. In one example, the antenna may include a longitudinally extending base strip, and a radiating strip. The radiating strip extends longitudinally with respect to the base strip. The antenna may further include a coupling strip which provides a conducting path between the base strip and the radiating strip. The radiating strip is such that its length is greater than length of the base strip.
