Title: Radar systems and methods
Inventor: EUAN THOMAS
IPC: G01S13/74
Filed: 2015-11-11
Abstract: An electronically-scanned SSR (secondary surveillance radar) interrogator may comprise amplifier line-ups, and may be capable of Mode S All-Calls with a simultaneous ISLS (interrogation side lobe suppression) pulse in which a control beam (transmitted as a difference pattern) is added to a main beam (transmitted as a sum beam) in each amplifier line-up. One aspect of the invention introduces a 90º phase offset between the main and control beams, thereby enabling the full power capability of the TRU (transmit receive unit) to be effectively utilized, and the effective beamwidth in Mode S to be sharply defined. The system allows the transmission of the simultaneous ISLS pulse of a Mode S all-call interrogation to be transmitted using the same array as is used by the main beam. The interrogator may comprise class AB amplifiers, improving power efficiency and thermal management. The interrogator may be used within a radar system, and/or an air traffic control (ATC) system.

Title: Backlight module and liquid crystal display device using the backlight module
Inventor: GANG YU
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 2013-11-12
Abstract: Provided in the present invention are a backlight module and a liquid crystal display device using the backlight module. The backlight module comprises: a back panel (2), a light guide plate (4) arranged within the back panel (2), a backlight source (6) arranged within the back panel (2), and an optical film set (8) arranged on the light guide plate (4). The back panel (2) comprises a base panel (22) and several side panels (24) perpendicularly connected to the base panel (22). The base panel (22) is provided at a side facing the light guide plate (4) with an arced surface (222). An arced reflective surface (224) is formed on the arced surface (222). The backlight module and the liquid crystal display device using the backlight module of the present invention are structurally simple. In place of an existing reflective sheet, the arced reflective surface having high reflective properties is provided at the side of the back panel facing the light guide plate. This reduces the thickness of the liquid crystal display device, reduces manufacturing costs, facilitates implementation of thickness reduction, and at the same time, prevents damages to the light guide plate caused by abrasions between the reflective sheet and the light guide plate, thus extending the service life of the light guide plate.

Title: Signal quality dependent throttling of devices for reducing electromagnetic interference
Inventor: KIAVASH BARATZADEH
IPC: H04B15/02
Filed: 2016-03-31
Abstract: The activity of a charging accessory device, coupled to a computing device, is limited or throttled in order to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improve signal quality (QoS) of a wireless communication that the computing device is conducting. The charging activity is limited when the quality of service (QoS) is less than a threshold QoS. In some embodiments, a decision to throttle the charging activity may also be based on battery charge level of the computing device. For example, the charging accessory device may be configured to provide power to the computing device when a power outlet is not immediately available. If the signal quality (QoS) of a phone call from the computing device is diminished or the user is in an area of low signal coverage, the accessory battery charger can be limited or throttled in order to prevent interference (EMI) between the accessory battery charger and computing device.
