Title: Method of manufacturing an electronic card
Inventor: Jose Ignacio Wintergerst Lavin
IPC: G06K19/18
Filed: 2016-04-21
Abstract: An electronic card comprises a flexible electronic circuit 103, an upper protective layer 101 located above the circuit, a lower protective layer 108 located below the circuit 103, wherein both of these layers are larger in area than the flexible electronic circuit 103. The upper protective layer has one or more indent(s) 20 on a lower surface thereof, the indents being for receiving one or more component(s) 102 formed on the upper surface of the electronic circuit 103. When assembled the indents form relief volumes around the components so that they are shielded from stresses induced in the protective layers during bending of the electronic card when it is in use. One of the electronic components could be a biometric sensor such as a fingerprint sensor 107. A gap formed between the indents and the components could be filled by a cushioning material. An independent claim is also included for the manufacture of such a card. The manufacture process could make use of through-holes and/or blind-holes.

Title: Apparatus and method selecting a base station in a network
Inventor: Kevin Andrew Terry
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2018-09-27
Abstract: An apparatus, such as a user equipment relay (UER), selects a preferred base station based on the backhaul characteristics of the available base stations. These characteristics may be average uptime, hop count, bandwidth or throughput. An initial base station may be selected based on the signal quality between the UER and the available base stations, such as the RSRP values. The UER may obtain identifiers for each of the available base stations and transmit these on a request for the backhaul data. The received data may be a mask value which is applied to the base station identifiers to determine which base stations may be used, and this mask may be used to differentiate macro and femto base stations. The UER may also send GPS data on the request, and then receive GPS data indicating an improved position for its deployment.
