  • Publication number: 20240083222
    Abstract: An air vent is configured to discharge two separate volumetric flows of air in respectively different and intersecting discharge directions. A perceived air discharge direction is adjustable with no change to the intersecting discharge directions. A first volumetric flow of air exits the first air duct in a first direction, and a second volumetric flow of air exits the second air duct in a second direction that intersects the first direction so that the volumetric flows of air collide after exiting airducts of the air vent. A non-visible vane located along one of the air ducts is moveable to change the perceived air discharge direction.

  • Publication number: 20230253950
    Abstract: A stacked AW filter package includes a first substrate stacked on a second substrate. The first substrate has a first AW filter circuit on first surface and a metal layer on a second surface. The second substrate has a second AW filter circuit disposed in a cavity between the metal layer of the first substrate and a third surface of the second substrate. The metal layer is coupled to the second AW filter circuit by a metal interconnect formed in a metallization layer on a side surface of the first substrate. The metal layer provides isolation to reduce cross-talk (e.g., electromagnetic interference) within the stacked AW filter package between the first AW filter circuit and the second AW filter circuit. Including the metal layer in the stacked AW filter package improves signal quality of transmitted and received signals filtered in the first and second AW filter circuits.
