Title: Beam-Steering reconfigurable Antenna Arrays
Inventor: HU SAMPSON
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 2018-01-31
Abstract: An antenna array for a portable electronic device includes at least two antennas 1, which may be leaky wave devices, each antenna having at least two radiating elements 3. Multiple control networks 2 comprising RF switches 13, 18 connect each antenna to a respective single RF port by way of different matching circuits 16, 17. A processor 7 may configure the control networks to drive the elements individually in an unbalanced mode or in a combined balanced mode using the different matching circuits or baluns. A proximity sensor in the vicinity of the radiating elements may sense a human body nearby and may reduce output power to reduce SAR. RSSI may be used to determine signal quality and the radiating elements switched to act as a part of a diversity or beam-forming MIMO array of a mobile device such a laptop.

Title: Improved access management to multi-user uplink random resource units by a plurality of BSSs
Inventor: PASCAL VIGER
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2018-03-01
Abstract: A wireless network comprises a physical access point and stations organized into a plurality of groups. At a station belonging to a first group a trigger frame is received from the physical access point which reserves a transmission opportunity on a communication channel of the wireless network. The transmission opportunity includes random resource units (RRUs) that the stations may access using a contention scheme. The station accesses a RRU using the contention scheme and updates at least one parameter of the contention scheme based on the success or failure of the access to the random resource unit (typically the parameter is an OFDMA back-off timer (OBO). The trigger frame specifically identifies the first group or plurality of groups which are allowed to access a random resource unit to transmit data. The parameter is re-initialized each time the group(s) identified by the trigger frame changes. Alternatively, a station belonging to a first group may receive a first and second trigger frame and set at least one parameter of the contention scheme of the transmission opportunity reserved by the second trigger frame based on whether the first and second trigger frames identify the same group or groups.

Title: Measuring arm holding device of a measuring system
Inventor: Matthias Rudkowski
IPC: G01B21/04
Filed: 2018-06-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring arm holding device (18) of a measuring system (15), for the detachable arrangement of a measuring arm (16). To this end, the measuring arm holding device (18) can have a retaining device (25) which interacts with a mating retaining device (26) on the measuring arm (16). In one embodiment, both the retaining device (25) and the mating retaining device (26) each have at least one retaining magnet. The magnet axes of the two retaining magnets are offset to each other when the connection is made, thus generating a magnetic retaining force having a force component which is oriented transversely to the magnet axes. A magnetic force having a vector in two or three spatial directions can thus be generated by a single pair of two retaining magnets. In a further embodiment according to the invention, the measuring arm holding device (18) has an electrical contact part (66) which can be moved between a rest position (I) and a working position (II). In the rest position (I), the contact part is connected to an electrical reference potential, and in the working position (II), the electrical contact part is electrically connected to a measuring arm contact (68) of the measuring arm (16). It can thus be detected clearly via the contact part (69) whether a measuring arm (16) is arranged on the measuring arm holding device (18), and a data carrier, electrically connected to the measuring arm contact, of the measuring arm (16) can also be read.
