Apparatus and method for high rate uniform coating, including non-line of sight
A direct vapor deposition (DVD) apparatus and method is taught, that provides a carrier gas flow entraining vapor atoms for the coating of regions on a substrate that are not in line-of-sight. The degree of non line-of-sight (NLOS) coating, hence thickness uniformity around the substrate is a sensitive function of the flow conditions. For a fixed background pressure in the region of deposition, an increase in the uniformity of the coating thickness is accomplished as the flow velocity is reduced. This improvement in uniformity is a result of an increase in the fraction of vapor atoms which deposit in NLOS positions on the substrate such as backside (21) of fiber (65) as indicated by vapor streamlines (51). Vapor impact width (VIW) is the width of the vapor flux impacting on some area of the fiber. Front side coating (FSC) width is the vapor width of atoms impacting on the substrate frontside (22).

This invention relates to methods and devices for channel identification. The invention is particularly concerned with techniques for non-line of sight channel identification. In embodiments of the invention the methods and devices are used for channel identification in wireless geolocation systems. Embodiments of the invention make use of an entropy estimation of the channel to distinguish channel conditions and in particular to identify line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight channels and which can be used to solve the NLOS problem of determining relative distances between transmitter and receiver. In particular embodiments an entropy estimation of the channel impulse response (CIR) is used to construct a robust entropy-based channel identification technique. As a result, more accurate localization in indoor and other multipath environments may be possible.

Control forwarding techniques for wireless communications
ActiveUS20200236655A1Network traffic/resource managementParticular environment based servicesCommunications systemCommunication control
User equipment (UEs) within a sidelink communications system may employ control forwarding techniques. For example, a UE may piggyback resource reservation information received from other UEs when broadcasting its own resource reservation. A UE that may be in line of sight (LOS) with two other UEs that themselves are in a non-line of sight (NLOS) situation and may include resource reservation information associated with other UEs when broadcasting the control information. For example, when forwarding control information, a UE may identify additional resources available in a transmission interval, and may convey neighbor control information (e.g., known resource reservations of other UEs in the sidelink communications system) using the additional resources. In some cases, the piggybacked resource reservation information associated with the other UEs may be selected based on the amount of additional resources in the transmission interval, a priority of known resource reservation information, etc.

PendingCN110691981ASub-station arrangementsWireless architecture usageRadio frequency signalRemote sensing
A radio frequency identification (RFID) system includes an array of antennas to distinguish line-of-sight (LOS) paths from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths. The distance between adjacent antennas in thearray of antennas is less than half the wavelength of the radio frequency (RF) signal of the system. Each antenna in the antenna array is also digitally controlled to change relative phase differenceamong the antennas, thereby allowing digital steering of the array of antennas across angles of arrival (AOAs) between 0 and pai. The digital steering generates a plot of signal amplitudes as a function of AOAs. LOS paths are distinguished from NLOS paths based on the shapes (e.g., depth, gradient, etc.) of local extremes (e.g., maxima or minima) in the plot.
