Abstract:
A monopole antenna coupled to a metallic ground plane includes apertures used to steer a radio frequency (RF) beam of the monopole. The apertures may have a length, width, and distance from the monopole based on the wavelength of the RF signal used to drive the monopole antenna. The aperture may be coupled to one or more selective devices, such as PIN diodes, which may short portions of a metallic ground plane near the aperture. The shorted portions of the metallic ground plane provide for steering of the monopole radiation pattern. A circuit board metallic ground plane may include multiple apertures to direct different RF signal frequencies from a single monopole antenna. Multiple monopole antennas may be implemented over a metallic ground plane within a wireless device, each monopole antenna with corresponding apertures.

Abstract:
A motion control servo loop apparatus, comprising: a feed-forward control module, and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loop and a compensation adder. The feed-forward control module is capable of generating a feed-forward compensation. The PID control loop further comprises: a proportional control module, an integral control module and a derivative control module. The proportional control module is capable of generating a proportional compensation. The derivative control module is capable of generating a derivative compensation. The integral control module uses a digital differential analyzer (DDA) algorithm to perform integration for accumulated errors with respect to each sampling clock at each DDA pulse and thus output an accumulated error, which is then processed to generate an integral compensation. Thereafter, the compensation adder receives the feed-forward compensation, the proportional compensation, the integral compensation and the derivative compensation to calculate a position error compensation for a motor driver.
Abstract:
A water-cooled heat dissipation device for a notebook computer includes primarily a pad and a heat dissipation device at a bottom of the pad having an air through-hole. The heat dissipation structure has a fan below a U-shape plate, a groove of which is latched with parallel fins being transfixed with a metallic tube in a detouring way, with two ends of the metallic tube being connected to a water pump, allowing cooling water to circulate in the metallic tube to cool down the fins. The heat dissipation structure is fixed below the air through-hole of the pad with the two ends of the U-shape plate. In usage, a notebook computer is put on the pad, and temperature of the notebook computer is conducted to the pad. Furthermore, cold wind is blown to the pad by the fan, such that the notebook computer can be cooled down rapidly.
Abstract:
A heat dissipation fan includes a housing, a first rotor, a second rotor, a base and a plurality of static blades. The first rotor has a shaft and a plurality of rotor blades. The second rotor is coupled to the first rotor and has a plurality of rotor blades. The base is disposed in the housing for supporting the first and second rotors. The static blades are disposed between the housing and the base, wherein a rear portion of each static blade extends along an axial line of the heat dissipation fan for improving the working efficiency of the second rotor.
Abstract:
A VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) communication module is provided for establishing a communication connection over a network, including a network connection module, a command translator, and a processing module, wherein the command translator receives and translates AT commands from external application programs or modules, thereby providing services such as communication over an IP network.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a test circuit to test one or more magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) of a magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The test circuit may measure a 1/f noise of the MTJ in the time domain, and determine a power spectral density (PSD) of the 1/f noise. The test circuit may estimate one or more parameters of the MTJ and/or MRAM based on the PSD. For example, the test circuit may determine a noise parameter, such as a Hooge alpha parameter, based on the PSD, and may estimate the one or more parameters of the MTJ and/or MRAM based on the 1/f parameter. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A complex control device includes a wireless selfie shutter and a flasher detachably installed in the wireless selfie shutter. The wireless selfie shutter has a first shell, a starting key and two transmitting modules arranged in the first shell, and the transmitting modules are electrically connected to the starting key. The flasher has a second shell detachably installed on the first shell, an LED flash and a control module arranged in the second shell. The control module is electrically connected to the LED flash. When the flasher is separated from the wireless selfie shutter, the second shell is used for inserting into a connector jack of a mobile communication device, thereby respectively transmitting two starting signals of the transmitting modules to the mobile communication device and the control module of the flasher when the starting key is pressed. Additionally, the instant disclosure provides a selfie apparatus.
