CPC Class H04W

A caregiver badge system includes a caregiver badge configured to be worn by a caregiver and having a cavity defined therein. An identification badge is configured to be positioned within the cavity. The identification badge is removable from the caregiver badge. A transceiver is positioned within the caregiver badge and configured to communicate with a positioning system to identify a location of the caregiver. A battery is positioned within the caregiver badge to power the transceiver.

An apparatus and a method for the transmission of data from several respirators, each having at least one interface to a relay station and a data channel to the relay station. The data channel is unidirectional from the respirator to the relay station and supports at least two redundant technologies for the data transfer. The respirator data are encrypted and transmitted to the relay station, which decrypts the data, and authentication of the respirator and/or relay station takes place. Storage of the received data takes place in the relay station, as well as assignment of respirators and/or their data to particular users. The relay station comprises a forwarding interface for transmitting encrypted data to remote stations. A remote station is authenticated before the transmission, and data or user are selectively transmitted based on the authentication, the transmission being initiated by the relay station or the remote station.

An implantable device coupled with an integrated circuitry, is operable to receive signals representing a human body action. The implantable device may be further operable to authenticate the signals. Responsive to authenticating the signals, the implantable device may be further operable to perform a device action associated with the implantable device. The implantable device may include a medical device that detects physical conditions of a body.

There is provided a process of forming a film containing a metal element, an additional element different from the metal element and at least one of nitrogen and carbon on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including non-simultaneously performing: (a) supplying a first precursor gas containing the metal element and a second precursor gas containing the additional element to the substrate so that supply periods of the first precursor gas and the second precursor gas at least partially overlap with each other; and (b) supplying a reaction gas containing the at least one of nitrogen and carbon to the substrate.

An apparatus and method are described for integration of an RF antenna in an appliance. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus includes: a dielectric having a specified length and width defining an area; a ground plane made of conductive material directly adjacent to the dielectric, the ground plane formed from one or more components of a handle or a door of a heating device; an antenna element made of conductive material forming a plane adjacent to the dielectric and parallel to the ground plane, the antenna having a first dimension defining a first end and a second end, the first end electrically coupled to the ground plane; and an antenna feed electrically coupled to the antenna element at specified distance from the first end, the distance from the first end selected in accordance with a wavelength of a radio frequency (RF) signal to be transmitted and/or received by the antenna.

An example of a wireless communication antenna system includes: a sub-6 antenna including a radiator configured to radiate or receive first energy having a first frequency, the first frequency being below 6 GHz, the radiator being electrically conductive; a first feed configured and disposed to electrically couple the first energy to or from the radiator; and a second feed configured and disposed to electrically couple second energy to or from the radiator, the second energy having a second frequency, the second frequency being above 23 GHz; where the radiator is configured to radiate or receive the second energy.

This application provides an antenna downtilt adjustment apparatus, including: a first transmission assembly, a flexible transmission assembly, and a second transmission assembly that are disposed on a mounting plate. The flexible transmission assembly includes a transmission element and a guiding element. The transmission element is in an integrated long strip shape and bendable. One end of the transmission element mates with the first transmission assembly, and the other end of the transmission element mates with the second transmission assembly. The guiding element is secured to the mounting plate, and the guiding element is configured to constrain an extension path of the transmission element on the mounting plate. The first transmission assembly is driven by an antenna information management module, and transmits a force to the second transmission assembly by using the transmission element. The second transmission assembly is configured to drive a phase shifter, to adjust an antenna downtilt.

An IoT device Internet of Things (IoT) device including storage to store instructions and a processor to execute the stored instructions to prioritize data blocks of a data payload by dynamically assigning priority levels of the data blocks, and to transmit one or more of the data blocks based on the prioritizing.
