  • Patent number: 11744162
    Abstract: Utilizing the topological character of patterns in 3D structures is beneficial for information storage, magnetic memory and logic systems. One embodiment describes the use of topological knots, exemplified by a Möbius strip, in which a spin traversing along the band for a complete cycle will recover its original position, while having rotated away from its original orientation. The spins can respond to an external magnetic field, but cannot achieve a ferromagnetic state, in which all magnetic moments are pointing in the same direction, due to the topological knot. 3D assemblies of such nano-Möbius strips may form prototype secure magnetic information storage devices that are secure and with extremely low levels of energy dissipation.

    Abstract: One example includes a device that is comprised of a pre-power amplifier, a power amplifier, a signal path, and a dynamic bias circuit. The pre-power amplifier amplifies an input signal and outputs a first amplified signal. The power amplifier receives the first amplified signal and amplifies the first amplified signal based on a dynamic bias signal to produce a second amplified signal at an output thereof. The signal path is coupled between an output of the pre-power amplifier and an input of the power amplifier. The dynamic bias circuit monitors the first amplified signal, generates the dynamic bias signal, and outputs the dynamic bias into the signal path.

  • Patent number: 11683212
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting an EHT PPDU to a WLAN system are proposed. Specifically, a transmitter generates and transmits an EHT PPDU to a receiver through a 320 MHz band from which an 80 MHz band is punctured. The EHT PPDU includes a legacy preamble and an EHT field. The legacy preamble includes an L-STF and an L-LTF. The legacy preamble is generated by applying a first phase rotation value. The first phase rotation value is obtained on the basis of a second phase rotation value and a third phase rotation value. The second phase rotation value is a phase rotation value that repeats a phase rotation value defined for the 80 MHz band in an 802.11ax system. The third phase rotation value is a phase rotation value defined in unit of the 80 MHz band in the 320 MHz band on the basis of an optimal PAPR of the L-STF and L-LTF. The first phase rotation value is [1 1 ?1 ?1 ?j ?j j j 1 1 ?1 ?1 ?j ?j j j].
