  • Patent number: 11968260
    Abstract: The technology of this application relates to a network interface card. The network interface card includes a parser and at least one shared connector. The parser receives a first SEND message that is from a host client and that corresponds to a first QP connection, and distributes the first SEND message to a first shared connector in the at least one shared connector. The first SEND message includes an RDMA operation command. The first shared connector obtains NVME information that is sent to a first controller and that corresponds to the first QP connection. The first shared connector interacts with a second controller when a disconnection event of a link between the first shared connector and the first controller is detected. The first shared connector obtains a WQE from the second controller. The first shared connector sends a first RDMA message corresponding to the first QP connection to the host client based on the WQE.

  • Patent number: 11671892
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system obtains geolocation information for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and for a cell of a terrestrial communication network. The system estimates a distance between the UAV and the cell, calculates an expected receive (RX) power for a signal transmitted from the UAV to the cell, and compares the expected RX power with a threshold power to determine whether the cell is a suitable target cell for a communications handover procedure for the UAV. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11662393
    Abstract: It is possible to determine, with a simple configuration, that the connection direction of a cable is the reverse direction. A cable is connected for use between a transmission device and a reception device, and transmits data in one direction. A connection direction determination unit determines whether the connection direction is the reverse direction, on the basis of a result of voltage monitoring at a predetermined position on a power-supply line. When the connection direction is determined to be the reverse direction, the information transmission unit transmits information indicating that the connection direction is the reverse direction, to the transmission device or the reception device.

  • Patent number: 11652675
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reducing or substantially eliminating an insertion loss caused by isolating a transmit circuit from a receive circuit of an electronic device. To do so, an isolation circuit may be disposed between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit. The isolation circuit may have a first signal path and a second signal path. A first portion of the signal may propagate along the first signal path and a second portion of the signal may propagate along the second signal path. A phase shifter may be disposed on the first signal path to shift a phase of the first portion to match a phase of the second portion. The phase-shifted first portion may be combined with the second portion to reduce or substantially eliminate an insertion loss caused by the isolation circuit.
