  • Publication number: 20240147296
    Abstract: Provided is an interference control system for wireless communication suitable for limiting the total amount of interference to which an interfered-with wireless communicator to be protected is subjected by interfering wireless communicators. A repeater disposed between the interfering wireless communicator and a controller includes a processor and a memory storing a program executed by the processor. The processor acquires registration information including a position and a transmission power for each interfering wireless communicator, and estimates, for each interfering wireless communicator, a terminal range in which there is a likelihood that a terminal wireless communicator communicating with the interfering wireless communicator is present based on the position and the transmission power. The processor transmits a registration application including the terminal range to the control device.

  • Publication number: 20240073822
    Abstract: A wireless communication management apparatus (100) includes a remaining capacity prediction unit (122) and a time setting unit (123). The remaining capacity prediction unit (122) predicts a remaining capacity (BLafter) of a battery (305) at a time point after a predetermined period has passed in a wireless communication device (300) on which the battery (305) is mounted. The time setting unit (123) sets a condition that the remaining capacity (BLafter) of the battery (305) predicted by the remaining capacity prediction unit (122) is greater than an allowable remaining capacity (BLminreq) and each of an operating time (Ton) and a transmittable time (Ttx) of the wireless communication device (300) falls within the reference range, and sets the operating time (Ton) and the transmittable time (Ttx) of the wireless communication device (300) in a state where the condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11430474
    Abstract: A hard disk drive suspension includes a suspension tail configured to electrically connect to a read-write transducer at a distal end and extending in a proximal direction toward a tapered tip at a proximal end, where the tapered tip comprises a decreasing taper that narrows in the proximal direction. Hence, structural overlap among adjacent suspension tails in misalignment scenarios and consequent marginalized electrical connections between the suspension tail and a corresponding flexible printed circuit are inhibited. The most proximal electrical pads of the suspension tail may be configured with a different aspect ratio, or in a fewer number of lines, from other adjacent electrical pads, thereby fitting within the narrowest portion of the tapered tip.
