Abstract: A fractional frequency divider configured to suppress spurious tones resulting from requantization of an accumulated quantization error has a multi-modulus divider (MMD) and one or more digital-to-time converters (DTCs). Each DTC includes a gain and/or digital predistortion, a dithered requantizer having a multibit input signa, a multibit output signal, and a multibit digitally-controllable delay (DCD). The quantized time delay between the input and output of the DTC is determined by the input from the MMD controller, the gain/digital predistortion and the requantizer. The MMD controller provides an input to the DTC that is proportional to the accumulated time quantization error introduced by the MMD controller, the gain/digital predistortion scales by a gain factor to produce a signal (a[k]) that is combined with a discrete-valued dither signal in the dithered requantizer to provide the control input of the DCD.

The printing head is receptive of the printing material from the printing material source and is configured to print an object with the printing material. The temperature control system is coupled to the printing head and is configured to adjust a temperature of the printing material during printing to cause state changes of the printing material resulting in the printing material being one of soluble and insoluble in a solvent.

Abstract: A source wireless device sends an indication of support for one or more broadcast services that broadcasts information over a wireless local area network (WLAN). The source wireless device determines, based on one or more factors, whether to use a broadcast stream of a broadcast service or a unicast stream to deliver information to one or more receiving wireless devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices for sensing applications, specifically, methods and modules wherein a first frequency band is used for communicating sensing measurements and a second frequency band is used for performing sensing functions and the second frequency band is higher than the first frequency band. The higher frequency of the second frequency band provides improved sensing function while the lower frequency of the first frequency provide improved communication characteristics. Methods and modules may relate to communications links of affiliated stations (STAs) of multi-link devices (MLDs).

Abstract: In some examples, a wireless device includes a communication interface to communicate with a wireless network, and at least one processor configured to, receive, from an access point (AP), information including a network address policy of the wireless network. The at least one processor is configured to further, in response to the information including the network address policy, use an address of the wireless device according to the network address policy.

Abstract: Network information may be discoverable without requiring a connection to that network. For example, Access Network Query Protocol (“ANQP”) may allow a device to discover information about a network prior to the device associating with that network. In other words, ANQP allows a network terminal to request additional network information prior to establishing network capability. The additional network information that may be discoverable includes network latency, cellular capabilities, hotspot capabilities, mobility capabilities, neighbor reports, station identification, and multiple hotspot session identification.

Abstract: A mobile device may retrieve service information about a network prior to associating with the network. Utilizing an advertisement protocol to transmit service query messages, a mobile device may receive service query responses from a network that identify the services available prior to establishing network capability. In other words, the messaging is prior to the exchange of any authentication parameters between the device and the network as well prior to the establishment of a recognized session between the device and the network.

Abstract: A system for producing filled plastic containers from sterilized plastic preforms, includes a transport device for transporting the plastic preforms and plastic containers produced from the plastic preforms by forming, along a predetermined transport path through the system, a forming apparatus for forming the sterilized plastic preforms into plastic containers, and a filling apparatus for filling the plastic containers during their at least sectional transport substantially along a circular line about a central axis of the filling apparatus. The forming apparatus and the filling apparatus have a maximum distance from one another in relation to their respective central axes of 5.5 m, preferably of 5.3 m, and the forming apparatus has a maximum number of 24 forming stations or of 6.0 m, preferably of 5.6 m, and the forming apparatus has more than 24 forming stations.
