  • Patent number: 11259211
    Abstract: A channel loading pre-adjusting system for 5G wireless communication adapted to be used for communicating at least one user's device with a core network includes a radio unit, a distributed unit in communication with the radio unit via a specified transmission channel, and a central unit. The distributed unit periodically detects transmission conditions of the specified channel and determines whether to issue an alarm signal accordingly, and in response to the alarm signal, the central unit determines whether to suspend data transmission via the specified transmission channel. The transmission conditions include a first group of latency parameters realized in a first number of consecutive detecting operations of the distributed unit and a temporal threshold derived from a second group of latency parameters realized in a second number of consecutive detecting operations of the distributed unit, and the first group of latency parameters are dynamically updated with time.

  • Patent number: 11119001
    Abstract: A machine tool health monitoring method which is to use a predetermined plurality of vibration sensors on a plurality of components of a machine tool and to drive motors of the machine tool to excite the machine tool using an electronic device while the health status of the machine tool is good, and then to perform a diagnostic process to obtain a characteristic cluster consisting of a plurality of modals, and then to define the characteristic cluster as a sample health characteristic cluster. The diagnostic process includes the procedures of vibration transmissibility obtaining, singular value decomposition, curve fitting and modal establishing.

  • Patent number: 10785685
    Abstract: A cloud radio access network system includes remote signal sources, a baseband processing unit pool, an access management server, a software defined network controller and a network signal forwarder. Each remote signal source is configured to transmit an access signal. The baseband processing unit pool provides a baseband processing signal. The access management server provides an access state signal. Different maximum transmission rates are transmitted via the access state signal. When the baseband processing unit pool has authenticated one remote signal source, the baseband processing unit pool transmits an authentication notification signal to the access management server. Then, the access management server informs the software defined network controller according to the authentication notification signal to increase an upper limit of a signal transmission rate between the baseband processing unit pool and the authenticated remote signal source to a higher one of the maximum transmission rates.
