    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating a DOA in a MIMO system includes a receiver and a signal processor. The receiver receives Rx signals from a target through Rx antennas after Tx signals having different phases are transmitted through Tx antennas, and transforms the Rx signals into time domain Rx signals. The processor transforms the time domain Rx signals into Rx signals in a frequency domain including a range-related domain and a velocity-related doppler domain; divides the doppler domain into regions according to a phase difference between the Tx signals; extracts signals from the regions; combines the signals to form first and second arrays; determines a minimum value for each of the first and second arrays using a DML algorithm; selects one of the first and second arrays having the minimum value as a true array; and estimates a DOA corresponding to the true array as an actual DOA of the target.

  • Patent number: 10416712
    Abstract: A portable computing device, such as a wristwatch, is described. The portable computing device contains ample processing, battery and memory resources for executing applications, but provides insufficient display output capability to render a graphical user interface during application execution. Instead, the device includes a short-range wireless communication system for relaying real-time display data to an external display device for rendering a graphical user interface on the external device. By not incorporating power-hungry display technology, speakers, other communication components, such as cellular, or other battery-draining components, the portable computing device avoids the need for bulky batteries and maintains a suitable charge over a reasonable period of time. In addition, the easy portability of the device means that it can turn any external display device into its own user input/output device such that users need not mirror their applications and data to multiple devices.

  • Patent number: 10291969
    Abstract: A communication system includes a housing, a tray, and a guide arm. The tray has a plurality of ports each having a rear face connectable to a rear cable. The tray is movably engaged with the housing and has a first position substantially inside the housing and a second position substantially outside the housing. The guide arm has a first end pivotably attached to the tray between the plurality of ports and a rear of the housing, and a second free end opposite the first end. The guide arm is adapted to rotate from a first rotational position in which the guide arm is substantially parallel to the rear of the housing to a second rotational position in which the free end points toward the rear of the housing as the tray transitions from the first position to the second position.

  • Patent number: 10240711
    Abstract: A secure adjustable mounting system for a tablet computer system in a desired position includes a mount to connect the mounting system to the tablet computer system. A head and post permit articulating movement of the tablet computer. The mount, head, and post collectively may define a passage extending through the mount, head, and post between opposite ends of the passage. The passage is substantially inaccessible from outside the mounting system. In other instances, the mounting system has a first configuration in which the freedom to move the mount relative to the post is limited by a first selectively engageable motion limiter, and a second configuration in which the freedom to move the mount relative to the post is limited by a second selectively engageable motion limiter. The mounting system is further configured so the first and second selectively engageable motion limiters are not accessible from outside the mounting system.

  • Patent number: 10210570
    Abstract: An online system uses, in various embodiments of the invention, credit report information, loan affordability screening and credit approval and management functionality to facilitate the purchase and finance of products online. The online system may include both sellers of products and lenders that offer financing to buyers seeking to purchase the products. The system may automatically obtain a buyer's credit report information and use that information to determine if the buyer is pre-approved, for example, to obtain financing for a particular product or products. The system also enables use of buyer credit information to identify only those of a seller's products for which the buyer is pre-approved, for example, to finance using one or more loans. The system then enables selection of an identified product or products for purchase, and selection of a loan, for example, for financing of the selected product or products.

  • Patent number: 10088863
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display cover layer mounted to the device using an adhesive bond with a display. The display may be a flexible display. The flexible display may include Organic Light Emitting Diode display technology. The display may be mounted to a rigid support structure. The rigid support structure may be mounted to a device housing member. Mounting the display cover layer to the display may eliminate the need to mount the display cover layer to the device housing and may allow active display pixels to be visible under the display cover layer closer to the device housing than in conventional devices. Providing the electronic device with active display pixels closer to the device housing may reduce the need for an inactive border around the display and may improve the aesthetic appeal of the electronic device.
