  • Patent number: 9496861
    Abstract: A multiplexer for voltage measurement includes: a first switch disposed on a first channel extending between at least one high-voltage input terminal and an output terminal; a plurality of second switches respectively disposed on second channels each extending between each of input terminals other than the high-voltage input terminal and the output terminal; and a third switch disposed between a group of the plurality of second switches and an output terminal side end of the first switch. Each of the first switch and the third switch is configured to operate even by a voltage higher than a power supply voltage.

  • Patent number: 9301271
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of LTE-A, and discloses a method for air interface synchronization between base stations. A base station to be synchronized, which simultaneously monitors a plurality of neighboring base stations, can select one neighboring base station to perform time-service synchronization in accordance with different criteria in order, such as whether CoMP is necessary, the time-service hop count, time-service delay, and the CQI level (channel quality indicator) and the like. That is, the most suitable synchronization source is determined according to a certain priority order. Such solution both applies to a phase of initial establishment of air interface self-synchronization between base stations, and also to a phase of periodic synchronization maintenance. In addition, the technical effect of such solution is particularly prominent in the case of intensively arranged Small Cells.

  • Patent number: 7499423
    Abstract: A system for locating a client in a wireless network. The system includes at least three access points. Each access point is adapted to wirelessly communicate with a client having a location using packeted data, be placed in wired data communication within a selected data network; and to share a common precise time reference using the selected data network. The system further includes a switch adapted to translate the relative position of the access points based on a shared common precise time reference and to calculate the location of the client based on a transmission from the client.

  • Publication number: 20010048307
    Abstract: A multiplex voltage measurement apparatus includes: (N+1) voltage detection terminals connected to N serially connected voltage sources; a capacitor which is charged with a voltage value of any of the N voltage sources; a first sample switch for selectively connecting odd-numbered voltage detection terminals among the (N+1) voltage detection terminals to a first terminal of the capacitor; a second sample switch for selectively connecting even-numbered voltage detection terminals among the (N+1) voltage detection terminals to a second terminal of the capacitor; a voltage measurement circuit for measuring the voltage value stored in the capacitor; a third sample switch for connecting the first terminal and the second terminal of the capacitor to the voltage measurement circuit; and a polarity controller for controlling the first and second sample switches such that one of the N voltage sources is selected while the third sample switch is open.
