  • Patent number: 10805139
    Abstract: A software-defined radio system for detecting packets is disclosed, including: a transmitting end configured for assigning a preamble and a postamble to a start position and an end position of a packet of a signal, respectively, before transmitting the signal; and a receiving end configured for detecting if a packet exists in the air or in a channel based on the preamble and the postamble, wherein the receiving end stores the signal in memory when detecting the preamble, and stops storing the signal in the memory and transmits the signal to a computing device when detecting the postamble. A packet detection method for a software-defined radio system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10193624
    Abstract: A visible light communication method performs visible light communication by using a visible light source. In searching a central frequency of the visible light source, a plurality of central-frequency training packets are sent, the central-frequency training packets including a plurality of central-frequency candidates, and one among the plurality of central-frequency candidates is selected as the central frequency of the visible light source based on a first decoding result on the plurality of central-frequency training packets. In searching a bandwidth of the visible light source, a plurality of bandwidth training packets are sent, the bandwidth training packets including a plurality of bandwidth candidates and the central frequency of the visible light source, and one among the plurality of bandwidth candidates is selected as the bandwidth of the visible light source based on a second decoding result on the plurality of bandwidth training packets.

  • Publication number: 20180351618
    Abstract: A user equipment includes: an antenna array for receiving a plurality of wireless signals from a plurality of beams; and a processing unit, coupled to the antenna array, the processing unit being configured to measure a plurality of wireless signal quality of the wireless signals to determine a target wireless signal quality among the plurality of wireless signal quality and the processing unit being configured to select, among the sectors, a beam emitting the target wireless signal quality as a preferred sector beam. The processing unit controls the antenna array to send to a current service sector beam of the beams a preferred sector beam transmission time index and a beam scan sequence ID corresponding to the target wireless signal quality.

  • Patent number: 8404511
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making a solar cell. In the method, there are provided first and second substrates each including first and second faces. There are provided first and second coating devices and a joining device. The first coating device is used to form a transparent electrode layer on the first face of the first substrate. The second coating device is used to form an absorbing layer on the first face of the second substrate. The second substrate is selenized by hot pressing. The joining device is used to join together the first and second substrates by joining the transparent electrode layer with the absorbing layer. The transparent electrode layer is joined with the absorbing layer by hot pressing. Thus, the solar cell is not made by coating one layer on another. Time for making the solar cell is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20120322171
    Abstract: An apparatus for making an absorbing layer of a compound solar cell includes a transportation unit, a coating unit, a heat treatment unit, a measurement unit and a control unit. The transportation unit transports a substrate-based laminate. The coating unit provides coating liquid on the substrate-based laminate. The heat treatment unit treats the coated substrate-based laminate with heat to form a film. The measurement unit measures the film and provides correction parameters to the coating unit. The control unit controls the transportation unit, the coating unit, the heat treatment unit and the measurement unit.
