  • Publication number: 20250206642
    Abstract: A drinking water dispensing device may include a housing and a replaceable, drinking water supply bottle carried by the housing. The drinking water dispensing device may also include a drinking water pump carried by the housing and coupled to the replaceable, drinking water supply bottle for providing a drinking water supply stream having a first pressure, and a water-cooling device carried by the housing for cooling drinking water from the drinking water pump. The drinking water dispensing device may also include an oxygen nanobubble generator carried by the housing and coupled downstream from the water-cooling device. A solid-state oxygen concentrator may be carried by the housing for supplying an oxygen stream to the oxygen nanobubble generator at a second pressure higher than the first pressure. The drinking water dispensing device may also include a drinking water dispensing outlet carried by the housing and coupled downstream from the oxygen nanobubble generator.

  • Patent number: 10785060
    Abstract: A communication system that minimizes the transmission of pilot symbols while ensuring real-time channel tracking and symbol detection. The system employs a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter-receiver pair where there are many more receive antennas than transmit antennas. Communication occurs over a wide band RF channel via orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) that employs a large number of sub-carriers.
