Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing wireless communications in a machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless Wide Area Network (WAN). A physical layer frame is generated. The frame being used for wireless M2M communications on a forward link in the M2M wireless WAN. The frame including no more than three channels. The physical layer frame including a first channel including paging channel, a second channel including a traffic channel, and a third channel including an acknowledgment (ACK) channel. A time division multiplexing (TDM) operation is performed on pilot symbols and data symbols to obtain a TDM pilot burst. At least one TDM pilot burst is inserted into each channel of the physical layer frame. The physical layer frame is transmitted on the forward link at a low data rate.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing wireless communications in a machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless Wide Area Network (WAN). A physical layer frame is generated. The frame being used for wireless M2M communications on a forward link in the M2M wireless WAN. A paging slot is generated in the frame for an M2M device in the M2M wireless WAN. A determination is made as to whether the paging slot includes available capacity. System information is inserted in the paging slot upon determining the paging slot includes available capacity.

Abstract:
A sensing method and system for Fresnel lenses are disclosed, the system including a first Fresnel lens unit for sensing the signal of a target object crossing a first boundary of a sensing area, a second Fresnel lens unit for sensing the signal of a target object crossing a second boundary of the sensing area, a third Fresnel lens unit for sensing the signal of a target object crossing a third boundary of the sensing area, and a sensing unit for receiving and processing the sensed signals of the Fresnel lens units. The first and second Fresnel lens units are arranged on two sides of the third Fresnel lens unit. Furthermore, it is possible to add more Fresnel lens units above, below or around the Fresnel lens units. By monitoring the boundaries of the sensing area, the sensing method and system for the Fresnel lenses improve the insufficiency of the sensing area, reduce cost and save power consumption.
Abstract:
A method for assembling a semiconductor package includes a rapid cooling step after post mold curing of an encapsulation material. The rapid cooling step includes blowing chilled, compressed air over the package for about two minutes. The rapid cooling step does not require any clamping pressure be simultaneously applied to the package. The rapid cooling step reduces a temperature of the encapsulation material from a curing temperature to the cooled temperature within a maximum period of less than five minutes. By using rapid cooling, as opposed to cooling the package under a clamping pressure with ambient air, package warpage due to CTE mismatches is prevented.
Abstract:
A system and method for determining a signal propagation delay between a transmitter and a receiver, and for adjusting a transmission time based on the propagation delay. A central station inserts a marker into a transmitted signal at a time corresponding to a received timing signal. The MCT receives the signal from the central station and determines a time difference between receipt of the marker and the detection of the time interval event. A transmission by the MCT is adjusted by an amount of time proportional to the time difference.

A screw thread driving polyhedral ultrasonic motor includes a stator, a rotor and multiple piezoelectric plates being bonded to the stator or the rotor. The stator and the rotor have screw threads matched with each other. The stator and the rotor are connected via the screw threads.
Abstract:
A method an apparatus for selecting a forward link and return link data rate for a constant power, variable data rate two-way, mobile satellite communications link. The forward link and return link signal strength (in the form of carrier power to noise power spectral density ratio) is measured, cataloged, and the values are used for the data rate selection. In addition, a ping can be sent by the network operation center to the mobile unit and the response to the ping is used for updating the information of both forward link and return link signal strength, so the chance of wrong data rate selection can be reduced. Multiple re-transmission attempts combined with gradually increased retransmission margin ensures the proper data rate decision can be eventually achieved even with occasionally inaccurate signal strength information.
