Appl. No.:

17/833772

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
Gary Leung - San Jose CA, US
Mark D. Neumann - El Granada CA, US
Indranil S. Sen - Cupertino CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 1/3827
H04W 52/14
H04W 52/28
H04W 52/36

Abstract:

A dynamic specific absorption rate (SAR) may be implemented by monitoring and controlling power utilization of the various radio frequency (RF) emitting components over time within a mobile device. Power utilization may be tracked and modified to control the time-averaged RF exposure over a rolling time window. Periodically calculations of the updated rolling averages for RF transmissions may be performed based on the transmission data received from the mobile device components, and the continuously updated rolling averages of RF transmissions may be compared to time-average power utilization limits. Based on such comparisons, the mobile device may dynamically adjust the current transmissions of the radio transceivers and other RF emitting components on the mobile device.

A41H 1/02

Abstract:

An arrangement for obtaining body measurements of a person includes a garment configured to be form fitted to the person, a reference target, and a handheld digital camera. A surface of the garment includes a plurality of first fiducials which are photogrammetrically analyzable. The reference target includes a plurality of second fiducials that are photogrammetrically analyzable. The plurality of second fiducials on the reference target facilitate producing a 3D model true to scale and in a recognized orientation to a surface on which the person is standing. The handheld digital camera acquires a plurality of successive images of the garment and reference target as the digital camera is moved around the person. A computer processes the plurality images by methods of photogrammetry to produce a 3D model of the body. A portable stabilization device may be held by the person to reduce movement and control arm spacing during image acquisition.

H04W 72/04
H04W 72/10

Abstract:

Manners of complying with SAR limits at a user equipment (UE) configured to establish a first communication connection using a first radio and a second communication connection using a second radio. The UE determines that a first application associated with the first communication connection is to be prioritized over a second application associated with the second communication connection, determines a specific absorption rate (SAR) value associated with the UE and modifies, responsive to the SAR value associated with the UE, a parameter associated with the first radio or the second radio based on at least the priority of the first application relative to the second application.

International Classification:

G06N 3/08

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for representing words or phrases, and using the representation to perform NLP and NLU tasks, where these tasks include sentiment analysis, question answering, and conference resolution. Embodiments introduce a type of deep contextualized word representation that models both complex characteristics of word use, and how these uses vary across linguistic contexts. The word vectors are learned functions of the internal states of a deep bidirectional language model (biLM), which is pre-trained on a large text corpus. These representations can be added to existing task models and significantly improve the state of the art across challenging NLP problems, including question answering, textual entailment and sentiment analysis.

Abstract:

A wireless power system may use a wireless power transmitting device to transmit wireless power to a wireless power receiving device. The wireless power transmitting device may have microwave antennas that extend along an axis in a staggered arrangement. In the staggered arrangement, the microwave antennas are positioned on alternating sides of the axis. Each microwave antenna is elongated along a dimension that is perpendicular to the axis. Multiple antennas may overlap a wireless power receiving antenna in the wireless power receiving device. Control circuitry may use oscillator and amplifier circuitry to provide antennas that have been overlapped by the wireless power receiving antenna with drive signals. The drive signals may be adjusted based on feedback from the wireless power receiving device to enhance power transmission efficiency. The system may have a wireless power transmitting device with inductive wireless power transmitting coils.
