ANTENNA TUNER FOR A BEAMFORMING ANTENNA ARRAY
Embodiments of a circuit, system, and method are disclosed. A beam switch to a beam with a beam configuration from another beam with another beam configuration is detected. In response to the detected beam switch: a tuner setting is determined for an antenna tuner of an antenna element in an antenna array which transmits the first beam with the first beam configuration based on the first beam configuration, the tuner setting associated with the first beam configuration; and an indication of the tuner setting is provided to an impedance matching system of the antenna tuner to compensate for a mismatch between an impedance of the antenna element and impedance of one or more other radio frequency (RF) components of an RF front-end having the antenna element and antenna tuner.

Knee saver harness wired junction box
THE KNEE SAVER HARNESS WIRED JUNCTION BOX comprises a wiring harness and an enclosure. It provides a work surface to measure, cut, and remove some sheathing from electrical cables, in preparation to install those cables to electrical receptacles and/or switches. The prepared wires are then connected to a HUB and termination devices, forming a wiring harness, outside of an enclosure. This wiring harness is now inserted into an installed electrical PVC or metal box, while the installer is standing up, and on the first day of the installation process. The core termination device and enclosure, can handle more than one power source, with different amperages, at the same time.
Fault ride-through capability for wind turbine
A wind turbine system (20, 70) is connected to an electrical grid (42) by an inverter (38) that provides turbine terminal voltage (Vt) support to the grid during a grid low voltage fault that is concurrent with a lack of real power production from the generator (30) by providing reactive power to the grid. A processor (46) controls the inverter to preserve a minimum voltage on a local DC bus (34) by stopping the reactive power output when the DC bus voltage drops to a threshold value (59) that is above a low bus voltage trip setpoint (56). An energy storage device (48) such as a battery may be connected to the DC bus to provide power that supports a prolonged ride-through capability during the grid fault.

The alternating current load (1) is connected in parallel with the load end time-division power extraction control device (2); the switch end time-division power extraction control device (3) is connected in parallel with the switch end power supply load (4); a combination body formed by connecting the alternating current load (1) with the load end time-division power extraction control device (2) in parallel and the combination body formed by connecting the switch end time-division power extraction control device (3) with the switch end power supply load (4) in parallel are together connected in series in an alternating current circuit. The present invention provides an efficient power extraction method between an electronic switch and a connected load on the premise of having no a neutral line, and particularly solves the problem that the electronic switch is falsely turned off or incompletely turned off for a low-power LED lamp.
Clockless frequency detector
Devices and methods for tuning a tunable circuit based on a frequency of operation of the tunable circuit using a clockless frequency detector circuit are described. The clockless frequency detector uses a filter having a slope in its frequency response curve that includes a frequency range of operation of the tunable circuit. Frequency-based attenuation through the filter of an RF signal provided to the tunable circuit is used to provide an indication of the frequency of operation. The tunable circuit, including the clockless frequency detector, can be integrated within a same chip that is autonomously configurable based on the frequency of operation.
