  • Publication number: 20250113147
    Abstract: A speaker includes housing having receiving space and sound-producing unit received in receiving space. The sound-producing unit includes frame; vibration unit; magnetic circuit unit; spring damping element elastically connects magnetic circuit unit to frame and supports magnetic circuit unit to vibrate in accommodating space. A weight is fixed to magnetic circuit unit. In speaker, magnet or yoke and spring damping element form another vibration unit. This another vibration unit and the vibration unit that is composed of voice diaphragm, dome, and voice coil are subjected to interaction forces and vibrate in opposite directions, which reduces force on frame. The weight is added to magnetic circuit unit, which reduces the impact of air in rear cavity on magnet. Moreover, by adjusting mass of weight and stiffness and damping of spring damping element, corresponding resonant frequency and damping of magnetic circuit unit may be set, thereby achieving an optimal vibration isolation effect.

  • Patent number: 12262443
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode may receive a wake-up signal indicating that the UE may skip the next ON duration of the DRX cycle, i.e., the UE is instructed to not wake up during a next ON time during the DRX cycle to monitor communication signals, such as data signals or control signals. The UE may be configured to receive downlink (DL) positioning reference signals (PRSs), e.g., during the next ON duration of the DRX cycle. The UE respond to the PRS configuration and the wake-up signal by remaining in DRX sleep mode and not receiving the PRS or transitioning to DRX ON mode to receive the PRS during which the UE may monitor or not monitor communication signals. The location server may receive indications of the wake-up signal configuration and status from a base station or the UE.

  • Patent number: 12216221
    Abstract: During positioning of a user equipment (UE), (DL) positioning reference signals (PRS) transmitted by one or more transmission reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system may be preempted or punctured by higher priority transmissions, such as ultra-reliable low-latency traffic (URLLC). A PRS preemption indication (PI) may be provided to a UE identifying one or more TRPs affected by preemption. The PRS PI may further identify the time domain and frequency domain of the preempted DL PRS transmissions. The PRS PI may identify the time domain, e.g., based on a number of PRS symbols between two monitoring occasions, wherein only PRS symbols that contain positioning reference signals associated with the group of TRPs are counted. The PRS PI may identify the frequency domain by identifying at least one of four or more frequency sub-bands of the preempted DL PRS transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20250037967
    Abstract: Systems and methods of imaging a sample using a charged-particle beam apparatus are disclosed. The charged-particle beam apparatus may include a compound objective lens comprising a magnetic lens and an electrostatic lens, the magnetic lens comprising a cavity, and an electron detector located immediately upstream from a polepiece of the magnetic lens and inside the cavity of the magnetic lens. In some embodiments, deflectors may be located between the electron detector and the opening of the polepiece adjacent to the sample to achieve a large field of view. Electron distributions among the detectors can be manipulated without changing the landing energy by changing the potential of the control electrode(s) in the electrostatic objective lens. The electron source can be operated with several discrete potentials to cover different landing energies, while the potential difference between electron source and the extractor is fixed.
