Patent number: 11211706Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to configuring antenna systems. An antenna system may be coupled to a first communication unit and may be responsive to another communication unit. The first communication unit may alter its antenna system to accommodate various attributes of both units. The first communication unit may have a plurality of antennae which may be configured to be driven actively, deactivated completely, or tuned and driven in a parasitic mode. By configuring the antenna system, the range of the antenna system may be increased, the power to drive the antenna system may be decreased, and other various attributes of the communication system may be accommodated.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Magnus Olov Wiklund, Mehrbod Mohajer Jasebi, Andrew Friefeld, Kapil Rai, Syed Hussain, Volodimir Veremey

Patent number: 11162210Abstract: A washing machine appliance and pumps therefore are provided. In one example aspect, a drain pump for a washing machine appliance includes features for improving pump performance and sand and debris management. The drain pump includes a pump housing and a pump body defining a pump chamber in which an impeller having a disk and blades is rotatably mounted. The pump body has a base defining a pump body recess. An outer rim of the base defines an outer periphery of the pump body recess. The disk is spaced from the outer rim so that sand and debris can be flushed from beneath the impeller. A sloped surface of the outer rim also facilitates removal of sand and debris from beneath the impeller. A labyrinth is defined beneath blades of the impeller to prevent sand and debris from entering an area between a seal and a shaft of the impeller.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Syed Hussain

Patent number: 10210845Abstract: Briefly, methods and apparatus provide image content to, and display image content on, displays with a variable refresh rate that reduce frame delays and avoid display image flickering problems. In one example, the methods and apparatus are operative to vary a display's refresh rate by varying a current frame's vertical blanking period by re-providing the current frame for display prior to providing a new frame for display. In this fashion, the displaying of a new frame may be advanced by assuring that a new frame can be provided for display as soon as it has been rendered and available for display. In addition, by re-providing the current frame for display prior to providing a new frame for display, new frames may be provided for display at rates within a safe rate range such that display image flickering issues are avoided or reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventors: David I.

Patent number: 9717063Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are provide for managing the Open Channel for IMS command correctly the UICC to have knowledge about the specific status codes the ME received from IMS. This knowledge allows the UICC to make a smarter decision on what it attempts to do to access IMS. Accordingly, the UICC is provided with detailed information about the status codes from the IMS service to allow the UICC to make an informed decision. If the UICC does not have such knowledge, it is possible that the UICC will send potentially unwanted commands to the ME to establish access to IMS.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Syed Hussain Ali, Jean-Philippe Cormier

Patent number: 9279091Abstract: A charcoal heating material, such as charcoal briquettes, includes a porous structure that facilitates the flow of oxygen about the charcoal, and thereby, enables the briquettes to ignite easily and quickly. In particular the lightweighted charcoal briquettes have a density from about 0.50 grams per cubic centimeter to about 0.80 grams per cubic centimeter. Methods of forming charcoal heating materials include mixing a rheology modifying agent and a moisture phase with a charcoal mixture to facilitate absorption of additional water into the solid matrix, providing increased porosity and lightweighting of the finished briquette after drying.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2010Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Phoebe Stinson, Kevin Barry, Anantdeep Gill, Gregory M.
