Abstract: A mobile communication device with multiple subscriptions includes a single baseband-radio frequency (BB-RF) resource chain. A first identity module, such as a subscriber identity module (SIM), a second identity module (e.g., a second SIM), and a controller are communicatively coupled to the single BB-RF resource chain. The first identity module is associated with a first subscription, and the second identity module is associated with a second subscription. The controller may be configured to arbitrate access to the single BB-RF resource chain to perform a first activity that corresponds to the first subscription or a second activity that corresponds to the second subscription. For example, the controller may interrupt a data session processed by the single BB-RF resource chain in response to receiving information indicating that a voice call is to be processed by the single BB-RF resource chain.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet-table unit, a sheet-separating unit, a discharge unit, a sheet processing unit placed between the sheet-separating unit and the discharge unit, and a speed sensor arranged at the upstream end of the sheet-separating unit, and close to a convey path. The sheets are separated and conveyed downstream by the sheet-separating unit one by one. The speed sensor is capable of detecting the movement start time of each sheet on the convey path and the leaving time of each sheet therefrom, and sending corresponding signals to a system controller. The system controller delays predetermined times according to the received signals to control the sheet processing unit to start and stop processing the sheet which is passing through the sheet processing unit at an even speed.

Abstract: A secondary battery end cap assembly is extruded integrally, is provided on a cap plate and corresponds to a first perforation and a second perforation of the cap plate. The first perforation corresponds to a gas seal part of the end cap assembly and a side of the gas seal part is extended with a safety valve corresponding to the second perforation to release gas pressure, preventing the battery from being overly recharged that an interior of the battery is too hot and pressure increases, allowing the battery to explode to cause danger. The safety valve is made by a non-metallic material. Hence, a secondary battery end cap assembly is extruded integrally to effectively reduce manufacturing time and improve production efficiency. Furthermore, as the safety valve is penetrated and embedded by extruding a non-metallic material, gas tightness is enhanced without being unriveted and welding problems.

Abstract: DSP architectures having improved performance are described. In an exemplary architecture, a DSP includes two MAC units and two ALUs, where one of the ALUs replaces an adder for one of the two MAC units. This DSP may be configured to operate in a dual-MAC/single-ALU configuration, a single-MAC/dual-ALU configuration, or a dual-MAC/dual-ALU configuration. This flexibility allows the DSP to handle various types of signal processing operations and improves utilization of the available hardware. The DSP architectures further includes pipeline registers that break up critical paths and allow operations at a higher clock speed for greater throughput.

One measurement system includes an optical subsystem configured to perform measurements of a specimen using light in different wavelength regimes directed along a common optical path. The different wavelength regimes include vacuum ultraviolet, ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared wavelength regimes.

Abstract: A paper feeding device includes a pick roller, a spring element and a separator pad. The pick roller has a roller surface. The spring element is disposed above the pick roller. The spring element has two spring arms extending toward two ends of the pick roller. Free ends of the two spring arms extend to positions outside the two ends of the pick roller and below the roller surface so as to be contactless with the roller surface and are pushed forward and upward by papers and then transfer a press force to the pick roller. A separator pad is arranged in front of the spring element and contacts with the roller surface of the pick roller for cooperating with the pick roller to separate a lowermost one of the papers. Because the spring arms are contactless with the pick roller directly, so the spring arms do not rub the pick roller, which avoids the pick roller being abraded.

Abstract: An optical scanning device with a dustproof function includes a shell defining a first receiving room and a second receiving room communicating with the first receiving room through an open window defined on the shell for scanning light beams passing therethrough. An optical scanning module is mounted in the first receiving room. A glass platform is located on the second receiving room at a position facing the open window for insulating the first receiving room from the outside of the shell. A correcting plate is stuck on the bottom of the glass platform. Such structure of the optical scanning device enables the glass platform to be firstly assembled with the shell in a dustless chamber, which prevents the suspending dust from falling in the first receiving room and attaching to the optical scanning module during the subsequent assembly process and ensures the scanning quality of the optical scanning device.

Abstract: Fourier filters, systems configured to fabricate Fourier filters and systems and methods configured to inspect specimens are provided herein. One Fourier filter configured for use in an inspection system comprises an array of patterned features formed within an optically opaque layer. The array of patterned features is generally configured to block light reflected and diffracted from structures on a specimen and to allow light scattered from defects on the specimen to pass through the filter. The array of patterned features is generally formed by removing select portions of the optically opaque layer to create transmissive regions, which only allow the light scattered from the defects to pass through. In one embodiment, the select portions of the optically opaque layer are removed with laser light.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multiple documents feeding detection mechanism includes an advancing roller applying a driving torque, a retarding roller applying a resisting torque and connected to the advancing roller for transporting pieces of documents, and a detecting means. The friction of a surface of the advancing roller, the friction of a surface of the retarding roller, the driving torque and the resisting torque are tuned to urge the retarding roller either into rotation while one signal document fed into a nip between the advancing roller and the retarding roller, or in standstill while multiple document fed into the nip. The detecting means determines whether the multiple documents feeding is caused by monitoring an action of the retarding roller.

Abstract: Demodulator architectures for processing a received signal in a wireless communications system. The demodulator includes a number of correlators coupled to a combiner. Each correlator typically receives and despreads input samples (which are generated from the received signal) with a respective despreading sequence to provide despread samples. Each correlator then decovers the despread samples to provide decovered “half-symbols” and further demodulates the decovered half-symbols with pilot estimates to generate correlated symbols. The decovering is performed with a Walsh symbol having a length (T) that is half the length (2T) of a Walsh symbol used to cover the data symbols in the transmitted signal. The combiner selectively combines correlated symbols from the assigned correlators to provide demodulated symbols. One or more correlators can be assigned to process one or more instances of each transmitted signal.
