  • Patent number: 12629020
    Abstract: To specify an arrangement and a method for measuring a field of vision of an eye (6) which, while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art, enable an objective, less complex and more reliable measurement of a field of vision of an eye (6), it is proposed that the arrangement comprises measuring means (1, 3) for measuring an eye movement and in the method, the eye movement is measured in an initial measurement (S1). Furthermore, the use of an implant (2) comprising a transponder coil (1) for introduction into an eye (6) for determining an intraocular pressure for the objective measurement of the boundaries of a field of vision is proposed.

  • Patent number: 12381600
    Abstract: A controller may map user equipment (UE) devices in a wireless system to access points (AP) and reflective intelligent surfaces (RIS). The controller may generate a corresponding communications schedule based on the locations of the UE device(s), AP(s), and RIS(s) and based on current traffic demands. The controller may control the RIS(s), AP(s), and UE devices to implement the schedule. The schedule may divide the time, frequency, and/or spatial resources of the RIS(s) to meet the traffic demands of the UE devices using a space division multiple access scheme, a time-division multiple access scheme, a frequency-division multiple access scheme, and/or a distributed multiple-input and multiple output scheme. The schedule may be updated over time as needed. The RIS(s) may allow for a reduction in the number of AP(s) required to meet the dynamic demands of the UE devices, thereby minimizing deployment and operating costs.

  • Publication number: 20240380489
    Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can route signals for wireless communications throughout an electronic device in an efficient manner that can save space, reduce noise, improve coexistence, and be readily assembled. An example can route signals through an electronic device using a bus, ring, or daisy-chain topology. Use of this topology can simplify routing, thereby saving space that can be used for additional functionality for the electronic device, a reduction in size of the electronic device, or both. Fiber-optic segments can be used for signal routing to decrease noise.

  • Patent number: 11963003
    Abstract: The invention concerns a sensing device (1) configured to selectively operate in: a manufacturing mode, an unprovisioned mode, a provisioned mode and an end-of-life mode. In the manufacturing mode, the electronic circuit (14) permanently stores a unique code (149) in a storage medium (12), while in the unprovisioned mode, the electronic circuit (14) waits for a provisioning code (31) for generating a private and a public key (143). In the provisioned mode, the electronic circuit (14) signs a timestamp (146) provided by a time-keeping unit (13) and data (110) provided by a sensing unit. The collected data (110), the timestamp (146), the digital signature (144) and the public key (143) is then transmitted. In the end-of-life mode, the electronic circuit (14) permanently erases the private key.

  • Patent number: 11956059
    Abstract: A communication system may include an access point (AP), a user equipment (UE), and a communication path between the AP and the UE having a series of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS's). Each RIS may have a first beam pointing to a previous node and a second beam pointing to a next node in the communication path. Beams of routing RIS's and a beam from an end user RIS towards a last routing RIS may be set during calibration. The UE may perform beam discovery with the end user RIS. The UE and the AP may convey wireless data via reflections off each of the RIS's in the communication path. The beam of the end user RIS may be updated to track the UE device while the other the beams remain fixed. The beams may be calibrated using retroreflection and beam variation for each pair of RIS's up the communication path.

  • Publication number: 20240097745
    Abstract: A system may include an access point (AP), a user equipment (UE) device, and a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The RIS may have antenna elements and phase shifters programmed using phase settings to form signal beams. The AP may calculate a first portion of the phase settings and may transmit the first portion to the RIS. The RIS may include a first processor that generates a second portion of the phase settings. The RIS may include a second processor coupled to the first processor over a bus. The second processor may generate the phase settings based on the second portion. The second processor may distribute the phase settings to the phase shifters. By distributing calculation of the phase settings between the AP and the RIS, power consumption of the system may be minimized while also minimizing the time required to re-configure the beams of the RIS.
