Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element and a light source module mounted to a flexible printed circuit and a metal cowling. The module may emit light through a rear housing wall. The printed circuit may be interposed between the metal cowling and a conductive support plate in the rear housing wall. The printed circuit may include a ground trace coupled to the resonating element. A dimpled pad may couple the ground trace to the support plate. Compressive foam may be used to exert a force against the flexible printed circuit that presses the dimpled pad against the conductive support plate. The ground trace and the dimpled pad may form a return path to ground for the resonating element. The dimpled pad may occupy less height within the device than other structures such as metal springs.

Abstract: A temperature-adjusted heater for transfusion includes a clamping member and a temperature-controlled unit. The clamping member defines a through hole, for a transfusion tube pass through and fixed therein. The temperature-controlled unit connecting to power supply, includes a heating member, an adjusting current circuit, and an adjusting button. The heating member is mounted in the clamping member, in communication with the through hole, and firmly against the transfusion tube. The heating member and the adjusting button are in series with the adjusting current circuit, and the adjusting button is operated to change the resistance value of the adjusting current circuit.

Abstract: Technology for reducing interference in collocated radios is disclosed. One method comprises logging transmit/receive information from a Bluetooth radio and an OFDMA radio for a repeating Tx/Rx pattern. Data collisions between the radios are identified. A persistent reservation is requested in the OFDMA radio for collisions in the repeating Tx/Rx pattern. A repeating Bluetooth Tx/Rx pattern is derived from the logged data and the collision data. Bluetooth radio communication is accomplished using the Bluetooth Tx/Rx pattern.

Abstract: An air syringe for dentistry includes a nozzle portion, a head portion connected to the nozzle portion, a handle connected to the head portion, an air tube and a water tube positioned in the handle, and a heating module positioned in the handle. The head portion defines a tube channel inside which is configured to selectively connect the nozzle portion to the air tube or the water tube. The heating module includes a heating bar, a temperature controller, and a heat storage member. The air tube and the water tube pass through the heat storage member. The heating bar is embedded in the heat storage member. The temperature controller is positioned on the heat storage member and is electrically coupled to the heating bar.

Abstract: Technology for reducing interference in collocated radios is disclosed. One method comprises identifying a repeating transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) pattern for multiple radios located in a mobile communication device having a Bluetooth radio collocated with an OFDMA radio. A persistent reservation is requested for at least one sub-frame from the OFDMA radio when the repeating Tx/Rx pattern indicates a Bluetooth packet wherein the Bluetooth radio can not transmit without interference with the OFDMA radio. The repeating Tx/Rx pattern is modified based on the persistent reservation. The Bluetooth radio can communicate based on the modified repeating Tx/Rx pattern to enable interference free communication for the Bluetooth radio and the OFDMA radio in the multi-radio mobile communication device. A collocated WiFi radio's transceiver can align its Tx/Rx with the Tx/Rx pattern, and transmit and receive at the same time slots that other collocated radios are transmitting, and receiving.

Abstract: An exerciser includes a mounting base for engaging onto a user, and a stem having a housing which has a chamber to receive a weight. A spring member is coupled between the stem and the mounting base. The weight may be caused to move against the inner peripheral surface of the housing, when the user swinging the exerciser. The movement of the weight against the inner peripheral surface of the housing may apply force against the abdominal portion of the user periodically, in order to massage the user. A handle may be attached to the stem. The spring member may resiliently transmit the vibration to the mounting base for massaging the user.

Abstract: An exerciser includes a stem having one end for engaging onto a user, and a housing disposed on the other end and having a chamber to receive a weight. The weight may be caused to move against the inner peripheral surface of the housing, when the user swinging the exerciser. The movement of the weight against the inner peripheral surface of the housing may apply force against the abdominal portion of the user periodically, in order to massage the user. A handle may be attached to the stem. A counting device may be used to count the number of movements of the weight relative to the housing.

Abstract: A punching bag includes a chamber for receiving a soft or resilient barrel, and a container received in the barrel and having a chamber for selectively receiving insert materials therein. The container includes one or more rings disposed on top for hanging purposes. The container includes a port for filling the insert materials into the container. The rings may be solidly disposed on top of the container for solidly hanging the punching bag to any support frames or members. The bag includes an upper cover having one or more orifices for receiving the rings.

Abstract: An exercise and massage device includes an elongate member made of rubber material for increasing the resilience and the flexibility of the elongate member, and for allowing the device to be used for rhythmic exercising purposes. A block may be selectively secured to one or both ends of the elongate member by such as threading with a fastener of the elongate member, for increasing the weights of the ends of the elongate member. The blocks may include different weights and may be selectively secured to the elongate member according to the strength of the users.
