  • Publication number: 20190261509
    Abstract: Dielectric such as polyether ether ketone may be used in forming radio-frequency flexible printed circuits. Filler may be incorporated into the dielectric to adjust the coefficient of thermal expansion of the flexible printed circuit. One or more layers of the flexible printed circuit may be unfilled and one or more layers of the flexible printed circuit may be filled. Antennas may be formed from metal traces on the flexible printed circuit, metal electronic device housing structures, or other conductive structures. A transmission line on the flexible printed circuit may couple radio-frequency transceiver circuitry in an electronic device to an antenna. A flexible printed circuit may have a portion with enhanced bendability in a location that overlaps a bend region. The enhanced bendability region may have less filler than other portions of the flexible printed circuit.

  • Patent number: 10367620
    Abstract: Flexibly configured containers consisting of resources within time-frequency blocks may be used to support multiple numerologies in new radio architectures. Uplink control may be defined in resources within a container, or in dedicated resources, by various nodes. Sounding reference signal resources may be dynamically configured for each numerology. The sequence length may be adapted, as well as the time domain location of symbols. Time, frequency, and orthogonal resources may be allocated via a downlink control channel or a radio resource control. Sounding reference signals may be pre-coded, and pre-coding weights may be based on a codebook or non-codebook approaches, e.g., via a radio resource control or a downlink RRC or DL control channel. Pre-coded sounding reference signals may be adapted to user equipment antenna configuration. Further, NR-SRS may be used as UL demodulation RS (DM-RS).

  • Publication number: 20190220463
    Abstract: Seed patterns are derived from a sequence database. Execution costs for types of seed patterns are computed. Each seed pattern is iteratively distributed to distributed nodes along with that seed pattern's assigned execution cost. The distributed nodes processing in parallel to mine the sequence database for super patterns found in the sequence database. When a distributed node exhausts its execution budget, any remaining mining needed for the seed pattern being mined is reallocated to another distributed node having remaining execution budget.

  • Patent number: 10306671
    Abstract: Current approaches to transmitting uplink data in a network often require resources to be granted. In an example, a node or apparatus may configure a plurality of devices to operate in a grant-less mode in accordance with a respective grant-less access allocation. Grant-less operations may be managed, for example, to meet the reliability and latency requirements and battery life requirements for different types of devices. For example, the state transition between grant-less and grant based may be managed.

  • Publication number: 20190153110
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses PRLR binding proteins. Specifically, the invention relates to antibodies that are chimeric, CDR grafted and humanized antibodies. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hPRLR and neutralize hPRLR activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hPRLR and for inhibiting hPRLR activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hPRLR activity is detrimental.

  • Patent number: 10281143
    Abstract: A fuel-fired heating appliance comprises a burner and a first housing adjacent the burner so that an interior of the first housing receives combustion gasses from combustion at the burner. A heat exchanger defines a second housing with an inlet proximate an outlet of the first housing so that the inlet of the second housing receives combustion gasses from the outlet of the first housing, and wherein the first and second housings attach at an interface. A barrier extends within, and across an interface between, the outlet of the first housing and the inlet of the second housing and defines a thermal resistance that inhibits heat transfer from the combustion gasses to the interface.
