Abstract:

A hybrid constant current control system that uses both pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control. When transitioning from constant voltage mode to constant current mode the present invention can continue to control using PWM. Thereafter, when the voltage has dropped, the present invention smoothly transitions to PFM mode. The point of transition is based upon the switching frequency and the lowest rated voltage of operation. The system and method avoids very short (narrow) Ton times which ensures accurate constant current (CC) control with bipolar junction transistor (BJT) devices. The present invention also avoids acoustic noise because the switching frequency is maintained at a high enough level to avoid such acoustic noise even when the energy transferred through the transformer is still substantial and the output voltage is not too low. In addition the output current limit is insensitive to variation in the inductance-input voltage ratio, and is minimized against leakage inductance.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for generating frequency tunable radio-frequency (RF) pulses utilizing a tunable cavity solid-state laser are disclosed. In one preferred embodiment, an optical RF source provides optical pulses with 1 to 200 GHz repetition rate. The disclosed optical RF source consists of a pump laser and mode matching optics, a pump beam coupler, a laser cavity end mirror, a laser gain medium, a Saturable Bragg Reflector, and a mechanism to change the effective optical length of the laser cavity. By adjusting the effective optical cavity length between the cavity end mirror that also serves as laser output coupler and Saturable Bragg Reflector that also serves as the other end mirror of the cavity, the repetition rate of the output optical pulses is changed. In another preferred embodiment, an optical RF source consists of a pump laser and mode matching optics, a Saturable Bragg Reflector that also serves as a pump coupler, a laser cavity end mirror that also serves as laser output coupler, a laser gain medium, and a mechanism to change the effective optical length of the laser cavity. By adjusting the effective optical cavity length between the cavity end mirror and Saturable Bragg Reflector, the repetition rate of the output optical pulses is changed. In yet another preferred embodiment, an optical RF source further includes an optical to electrical signal converter, and at least one of the following: a RF connector, a connecting waveguide, and a coaxial transmission cable with at least one terminating, impedance matching resistor. In an additional preferred embodiment, an optical RF source consists of a pump laser and mode matching optics, a Saturable Bragg Reflector that also serves as an output coupler and laser cavity end mirror, a second laser cavity end mirror also serving as pump coupler, a laser gain medium, and a mechanism to change the effective optical cavity length of the laser. By adjusting the effective optical cavity length between the cavity end mirrors, the repetition rate of the output optical pulses is changed.

International Classification:

H04W 56/00
H04B 7/185
H04W 72/04

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which UEs may communicate with satellites or base stations, or both in a non-terrestrial network. Due to large distances between transmitting devices and receiving devices in a non-terrestrial network, the UE may account for propagation delay and frequency shift of communications with a satellite based on location information of the satellite. The UE may receive first satellite location information from a base station or a satellite, via a broadcast message. The UE may receive second satellite location information from the wireless network node via a unicast message, where both the first satellite location information and the second satellite location information relate to a same satellite. The UE may transmit an uplink communication via the satellite based on at least one of the first satellite location information or the second satellite location information.

Abstract:

In order to enable a UE receiving a narrowband signal transmitted using in-band resources to use the LTE reference signals to assist the UE in receiving the narrowband signal using an in-band deployment, a phase rotation employed by the base station may be fixed relative to a known reference position in time. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station may determine a phase offset for a narrowband signal for transmission using wideband resources, the phase offset having a relationship to a reference point in time and transmit the narrowband signal using the determined phase offset. An apparatus for wireless communication at a UE may receive a narrowband signal having a frequency location within a wideband signal and rotate a symbol of the wideband signal by a per symbol phase offset having a relationship of the phase offset to a reference point in time.

Abstract:

A system filters profiles of an online business network as a function of recent college graduates who have recently become employed in first employment positions, and identifies codes associated with the first employment positions. The system filters job listings using the identified codes to identify job listings that are closed and similar to the first employment positions. The system stores the identified job listings that are similar to the first employment positions into a first subset of job listings, and analyzes the job descriptions in the first subset of job listings using a logistic regression to model job listings with predictor variables indicating whether the requirements expressed in the job descriptions—for example, requirements of previous work experience—are likely optional or mandatory. The system stores open job listings classified by the model as likely having optional requirements or mandatory requirements into a second subset of job listings, and displays the second subset of job listings to help recent college graduates with their job search.

Abstract:

A social networking system aggregates two or more stories having at least one common characteristic to create an aggregated story unit. Each story describes an action performed on an object over the social networking system or external to the social networking system. The aggregated story unit includes one or more input elements allowing a viewing user to interact with the aggregate story unit as a whole or with individual stories in the aggregated story unit. The input elements included in the aggregated story unit may be based on the types of the actions or of the objects described by stories in the aggregated story unit and on one or more input policies.
