    Abstract: A multi-antenna system for harvesting energy and transmitting data includes an energy storing unit, antenna transmission units, and a load unit. Each antenna transmission unit includes an antenna module, a splitting module, an energy generation module, and a data processing module. The splitting module splits a wireless signal received by the antenna module into a first splitting signal and a second splitting signal and transmits the first splitting signal to an energy generation module to convert the first splitting signal into electrical energy stored in an energy storing unit and provided to the data processing module. The energy storing unit provides the electrical energy for the load unit. The data processing module receives one of the second splitting signals, converts it into a control signal, and transmits the control signal to the load unit. The load unit operates according to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20240084455
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein include systems and techniques for fabricating a wafer-on-wafer product using a filled lateral gap between beveled regions of wafers included in a stacked-wafer assembly and along a perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly. The systems and techniques include a deposition tool having an electrode with a protrusion that enhances an electromagnetic field along the perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly during a deposition operation performed by the deposition tool. Relative to an electromagnetic field generated by a deposition tool not including the electrode with the protrusion, the enhanced electromagnetic field improves the deposition operation so that a supporting fill material may be sufficiently deposited.

  • Patent number: 11930174
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for block partition are disclosed. If a cross-colour component prediction mode is allowed, the luma block and the chroma block are partitioned into one or more luma leaf blocks and chroma leaf blocks. If a cross-colour component prediction mode is allowed, whether to enable an LM (Linear Model) mode for a target chroma leaf block is determined based on a first split type applied to an ancestor chroma node of the target chroma leaf block and a second split type applied to a corresponding ancestor luma node. According to another method, after the luma block and the chroma block are partitioned using different partition tress, determine whether one or more exception conditions to allow an LM for a target chroma leaf block are satisfied when the chroma partition tree uses a different split type, a different partition direction, or both from the luma partition tree.
