Publication number: 20250129844Abstract: An accumulator plate device attachable to a transmission valve body. The accumulator plate device is stronger than existing accumulator plates and is able to resist bending and breaking forces from valve and spring activation pressures. The accumulator plate device employs novel securing features integrated into or attached to the accumulator plate device at various locations designed to resist the higher pressures. The securing features are designed to engage specific locations on a lip of a lateral edge of the transmission valve body to prevent damage to the accumulator plate device from mechanical stress on the accumulator plate device from the hydraulic pressure inside the transmission valve body.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: RevMax Performance, LLCInventors: Thomas Hauser, Steven Hilton

Publication number: 20240097727Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna, a receiver, and baseband circuitry coupled to the receiver over a digital interface. The receiver may receive radio-frequency signals using the antenna and may generate digital in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) samples from the radio-frequency signals. The I/Q samples may have a bit width and may be transmitted to the baseband circuitry over the digital interface. The baseband circuitry may evaluate a radio condition of the receiver based on the I/Q samples. The baseband circuitry may adjust the bit width of the I/Q samples based on the radio condition. For example, the baseband circuitry may decrease the bit width when wireless performance metric data falls below a threshold and/or may increase the bit width when the wireless performance metric data exceeds a threshold. This may minimize power consumed by the digital interface without sacrificing wireless performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Thomas Hauser, Joachim Wehinger, Michael Weber, Andreas Augustin
