Patent number: 11917551Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to methods and electronic devices capable of performing coordinate spatial reuse for wirelessly transmitting data on a channel in coordination with another wireless AP operating an overlapping BSS using the same wireless channel. The device can perform RSSI measurements and generate Per-RU RSSI reports including the RSSI measurements information for transmission to another wireless AP. The RSSI measurement can be performed by the device based on power levels detected when receiving TB PPDUs transmitted by wireless STAs responsive to trigger frames, for example. Based on the Per-RU RSSI report, a wireless AP can be configured to transmit data to an associated wireless STA without causing significant interference when another AP of the overlapping BSS is also transmitting, and can schedule frames for transmission from associated wireless STAs accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: MEDIATEK SINGAPORE PTE. LTD.Inventors: Yongho Seok, Gary A. Anwyl, Jianhan Liu, Kai Ying Lu, James Chih-Shi Yee, Thomas Edward Pare, Jr., James June-Ming Wang

Publication number: 20110137278Abstract: A soaker pad for a cloth diaper comprising an outer layer, absorbent pad, inner layer, and side panels. The inner longitudinal edge of each side panel is folded inward to create a fold line and fold area. Elastics are located just inside the fold line to create an inner gusset. Elastics are situated parallel to the longitudinal edge of the outer layer to create an outer gusset. Neither the inner nor outer gusset is in contact with the inner layer. Each side panel is adhered to the outer layer in the margin along each longitudinal edge of the outer layer that is not in contact with the inner layer and along the outer margins of the inner layer. The fold area is adhered to the inner layer except at the middle portion of the fold area, thereby allowing the inner gusset to stand up and away from the inner layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2009Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: The Natural Baby Company, LLCInventors: Kim Ormsby, Allen Leo (Liu Ming)

Patent number: 5834365Abstract: A structure and a process for forming an improved bonding pad which allows better bonding between a bond wire and a metal bonding pad. Stripes are formed on a substrate. A conformal dielectric layer, a conformal barrier layer and a metal layer are formed over the stripes. A passivation layer with a window is formed defining a bonding pad area. The stripes promote an irregular surface in the barrier and metal layers which reduce stress between the dielectric layer, the barrier layer and the metal layer. Also, the irregular surfaces increase the barrier metal adhesion to the dielectric layer, reduce bond pad peel off, and increase bonding yields.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1997Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Liu Ming-Tsung, Bill Y.
