Publication number: 20240098452Abstract: This application provides a device tracking detection method and an electronic device, and is related to the field of terminal technologies. Because when the first electronic device receives a first Bluetooth signal based on a first signal filter, it implies that a first Bluetooth peripheral is near the first electronic device; and because the first Bluetooth peripheral broadcasts the first Bluetooth signal only once every other second duration, it also implies that the first Bluetooth peripheral may be near the first electronic device within the second duration during which the first Bluetooth signal is received based on the first signal filter. Therefore, when a moving speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, recorded trajectory information of the first Bluetooth peripheral includes not only location information of the first electronic device when receiving the first Bluetooth signal, but also location information of the first electronic device within the second duration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Nengfu TANG, Weilin GONG, Bin YAN, Li SHEN, Yashu ZHANG

Publication number: 20220228025Abstract: The present application relates to a resin or polymer system suitable for two-component compositions, and a resin or polymer system configured for durable coatings with only thin coating weights. The resins and polymer systems of this invention provide high performance extremely thin, low gloss coatings with excellent adhesion, abrasion, scratch and chemical resistance The resins include a polyester component with one or more polyester polyols having a hydroxyl value of about 50 to about 300 and a polyurea component with one or more polyester polyol grafted polyurea polymers having a hydroxyl value of about 20 to about 100. These resin or polymer systems and two-component solvent borne coating compositions including such resin or polymer systems are surprisingly capable of achieving strong adhesion, excellent linear abrasion, and high chemical resistance all at the same time in a dry film thickness of about 2 mil or less, in some instances, about 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2020Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Hong DING, Weilin TANG, Dehui HAN, Mahshid NIKNAHAD
