Patent number: 10758832Abstract: Method, modules and a system formed by connecting the modules for controlling payloads are disclosed. An activation signal is propagated in the system from a module to the modules connected to it. Upon receiving an activation signal, the module (after a pre-set or random delay) activates a payload associated with it, and transmits the activation signal (after another pre-set or random delay) to one or more modules connected to it. The system is initiated by a master module including a user activated switch producing the activation signal. The activation signal can be propagated in the system in one direction from the master to the last module, or carried bi-directionally allowing two way propagation, using a module which revert the direction of the activation signal propagation direction. A module may be individually powered by an internal power source such as a battery, or connected to external power source such as AC power.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: May Patents Ltd.Inventor: Yehuda Binder

Patent number: 10757566Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for UE capability reporting in mobile communication systems. UE capability reporting in LTE with high number of CCs (32) creates a great signalling overhead. An enhanced network enquiry message (UECapabilityEnquiry) is proposed which includes indications (e.g. maximum aggregated CC number or bandwidth class, MIMO/CSI-process capabilities) that indicate to a UE that the UE is to exclude, from its capability report (UECapabilityInformation), information related to functions that the network either does not support or is not interested in. The enhanced network enquiry message may include indications of a max. number of DL/UL CCs for which the UE is requested to provide supported CA band combinations and non-CA bands. The UE selects a subset of CA capabilities based on these indicator and generates a UE capability response (UECapabilityInformation) including information related to the selected subset of CA capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hong He, Youn Hyoung Heo, Kyeongin Jeong, Naveen Palle, Siddharth Verma

Patent number: 10645585Abstract: An analytics containment system store RSSI values of connected stations and corresponding time stamps. If two or more stations have RSSI values within a certain proximity within a certain time period, a first condition for identifying analytics poisoning has been satisfied. Additionally, if RSSI values for the two or more stations changes at similar rate, the stations have satisfied a second optional condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Anil Kaushik, Naga Kishore Reddy Tarimala

Patent number: 10615935Abstract: A transmission method and a configuration method for a downlink control channel, a terminal, a base station and a computer storage medium are provided. The transmission method for the downlink control channel includes: performing, by a terminal, a blind detection on the downlink control channel according to a maximum number (N_total) of candidates in a repeated transmission. The N_total meets one of the following conditions: the N_total is not greater than a total number N_legacy of candidates of a single subframe of a transmission terminal (legacy UE) of a long-term evolution (LTE) system; the N_total is N_legacy×Y which is a product of the N_legacy and a maximum value Y of types of repeat times for performing the blind detection on the downlink control channel; and the N_total ranges from the N_legacy to the N_legacy×Y.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: ZTE CORPORATIONInventors: Jing Shi, Bo Dai, Shuqiang Xia, Huiying Fang, Kun Liu, Xianming Chen, Wen Zhang
