US12289572B2	Electronic device with a sounding function Disclosed is an electronic device with a sounding function, including a shell structural member and a speaker. The speaker includes a first sounding unit used to emit low-frequency sounds and a second sounding unit used to emit high-frequency sounds that are coaxially arranged. The first sounding unit surrounds the second sounding unit. The shell structural member is provided with a first channel for transmitting the low-frequency sounds, a second channel separated from the first channel for transmitting the high-frequency sounds, and a common channel for communicating both the first and second channels with the outside of the electronic device. The second channel includes a front cavity of the second sounding unit and a connecting channel for communicating the front cavity with the common channel. The connecting channel is in a horn shape. The effect of the high-frequency sounds of the electronic device with a sounding function is improved.
US12289569B1	Time-division multiplexed systems and methods for reducing overestimation of bandwidth demand A time-division multiplexed (TDM) communication system has a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) controller that is configured to reduce demand overestimation so that more optimal bandwidth allocation is achieved. Upon receiving load information from a transceiver, the DBA controller is configured to estimate an amount of change to the transceiver's reported load based on previous allocations of bandwidth to the transceiver for frames that occur during a reporting delay (e.g., the delay from the time that the load information is transmitted until it is received and processed). That is, the estimated load is reduced in an effort to account for transmissions made by the transceiver during the reporting delay, thereby preventing or reducing the amount of demand overestimation that would otherwise occur. Thus, the transceiver may be allocated less bandwidth according to a desired DBA algorithm so that more network bandwidth is available for other transceivers.
