Notable recent patent applications include:

• Patent application for electromagnetic shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) within a specific frequency range. The shielding consists of a layer of metal and a layer of thermoplastic polymer fabric, providing flexibility and ease of use.
• Patent application for electronic prototyping platforms, featuring an electrically insulative substrate with visible orientation features, mounting holes, and an edge connector tab with exposed electrically conductive contacts.
• Patent application for a method of transmitting data from a satellite using a combination of ground stations. The method involves identifying a subset of ground stations that can receive data from the satellite, generating a transmission schedule, and configuring the satellite accordingly.
• Patent application for efficiently using computing resources in a virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN). The method involves predicting resource load using a trained neural network model and allocating computing resources based on wireless parameter limits.
• Patent application for allocating resources in a radio access network (RAN) using a machine learning model. The model determines the optimal RAN resource configuration based on compute power needs, improving resource allocation in changing network conditions.
• Patent application for monitoring data traffic between a radio unit (RU) and a virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) instance. The method estimates the workload of the vRAN instance based on observed data traffic.
• Patent application for improving image quality by fusing multiple image frames together. The method captures history image frames and a highlight recovery frame, compares them, and combines similar frames to create a final image frame with high dynamic range.
• Patent application for an electronic device that synchronizes the timing of a light source with camera exposure, ensuring accurate and synchronized lighting during photography.
• Patent application for adding digital content to multi-view videos by identifying target regions and updating the video with the inserted content.
• Patent application for selectively transforming coding units in video content coding based on pixel value differences and rate-distortion constraints.
