  • Patent number: 11283508
    Abstract: Aspects of mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping are described, for example, spatial searching operations, directional beam forming, complex channel measurement operations, and adaptive power savings. Some aspects include using priori information for mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping. Some aspects include using priori information to modify a superset of beam criteria to obtain a subset of beam criteria, select a spatial region according to the subset of beam criteria, and initiate a spatial searching operation within the spatial region for establishing a communication link. Some aspects include obtaining complex channel measurements of beams and combining the measurements with priori information to determine a beam for use in a communication link. Some aspects include providing signals from Nr over K1 input/output (IO) links and receiving signals over K1 IO links, and combining signals received over the K1 IO links, using a compression matrix, to generate signals over K IO links.

  • Publication number: 20220081933
    Abstract: Provided are a lock and a case having the same. The lock includes a lock tongue; a key lock mechanism including a lock core and a lock block; and a password wheel lock mechanism including a spindle and a password wheel. When the password wheel and the lock core are locked, the spindle and the lock block are locked by the password wheel and the lock core, respectively. The spindle abuts against the lock block and the lock block abuts against the lock tongue so that the lock tongue is kept in a locking position. When the password wheel is unlocked, the spindle cancels the abutting against the lock block and the lock block cancels the abutting against the lock tongue. When the lock core is unlocked, the lock block is driven to move to an avoidance position so that the lock block cancels the abutting against the lock tongue.

  • Patent number: 9529919
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a suggested store at or through which to purchase a product or service. When a user enters a query for a product or service into a user interface, the system may use the query as a search argument to search files to find one or more pictures illustrating information about a product or service represented by the query. The picture could illustrate where the queried product or service may be purchased. Auto-complete processes may also be used to process the query as it is being entered, to generate an auto-suggestion key word based on fewer than all the letters of the query, to use as a search argument for the search. Both the query and the auto-suggestion key word may be used as search arguments to find the relevant picture in a variety of search logic sequences to provide the picture to the user.
