  • Patent number: 12068527
    Abstract: An antenna structure with wide radiation bandwidth in a reduced physical space includes a housing, a first feed portion, and a second feed portion. The housing includes a metallic side frame, a metallic middle frame, and a metallic back board. The metallic side frame defines first and second gaps, and the metallic back board defines a slot. The slot, the first gap, and the second gap divide the metallic side frame to give a first radiation portion. The first and second feed portions are both electrically connected to the first radiation portion. When the first feed portion supplies a current, the current flows through the first radiation portion, toward the second gap to excite a first working mode. When the second feed portion supplies a current, the current flows through the first radiation portion, toward the first gap to excite a second working mode.

  • Publication number: 20240268057
    Abstract: An example assembly includes an equipment room, a cabinet fan module having fans, and a processor configured to execute logic. Temperature sensors are positioned in the air inlet channel and the equipment room. An electrical component having an air inlet area is also positioned in the equipment room. The logic causes the fans to operate at a predetermined speed, and compare a temperature in the air inlet channel with a temperature at the air inlet area. In response to determining that the temperature at the air inlet area is greater than the temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value, the operating speed of the fans is increased. Moreover, the operating speed of the fans is decreased in response to determining that the ambient temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value is greater than or equal to the temperature at the air inlet area.
