  • Patent number: 11990965
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel quality indictor (CQI) reporting with precoding matrix indicator (PMI) frequency domain (FD) units. A user equipment (UE) may configured with a CSI reporting configuration. CQI and PMI may be configured with different FD unit sizes. The UE may determine which PMI FD units to use for calculating corresponding CQI FD units. PMI and CQI FD units may not be aligned. The UE may determine which PMI FD units to use for calculating CQI based on the alignment. PMI and CQI FD units may be configured using a separate bitmaps, a bitmap and ratio of the FD unit sizes, or a single bitmap. PMI and/or CQI FD units may start from a lowest FD unit index in the system bandwidth, or the lowest FD unit index within a configured bandwidth part (BWP).

  • Patent number: 11990102
    Abstract: In a first output mode, a signal in which a data pulse having a positive polarity voltage value appears in a predetermined cycle is output as a positive polarity gradation data signal, and a signal in which a data pulse having a negative polarity voltage value appears in the predetermined cycle with a phase different from the positive polarity gradation data signal is output as a negative polarity gradation data signal. In a second output mode, the above positive polarity gradation data signal is generated, and a signal in which a data pulse having a negative polarity voltage value appears in the predetermined cycle with the same phase as the positive polarity gradation data signal is output as the negative polarity gradation data signal. The first and second output modes are alternatively executed, and the output mode is switched within a predetermined period at intervals of the predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 11990327
    Abstract: In a mass spectrometer employing laser ionization to ionize a sample, a known sample is irradiated with laser light multiple times, and multiple sets of profile data are acquired each of which is a spectrum showing the relationship between the m/z values and intensities of ions generated from the known sample by one laser irradiation (Step S11). Those sets of profile data are sorted into groups so that one or more sets of profile data are included in each group (Step S12). For each group, a peak list is created which describes the m/z value and intensity of each peak originating from the known sample based on the one or more sets of profile data included in the group (Step S13). A discriminant model for discriminating an unknown sample is created using the peak lists of the plurality of groups and information concerning the kind of the known sample as training data.

  • Patent number: 11986162
    Abstract: An endoscope comprises a handle and a shaft with an optical housing at the distal end of the shaft enclosing a camera sensor positioned so that its optical axis is at an angle with respect to a rotational axis of the shaft. The camera sensor is rotatable with the shaft relative to a proximal housing of the handle. A rotation sensor in the handle detects the rotational angle of the camera sensor with respect to the proximal housing. A processor can correct the angular orientation of an image from the image sensor, converting of a rotating variable field of view to a translating variable field of view. A processor can apply variable smoothing of the rotation of the displayed image so that smoothing during rotational deceleration is greater than smoothing during rotational acceleration. The shaft may be enclosed in a trocar that allows for a space between the shaft and trocar that can be used to carry irrigation fluid to or from a space at the end of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 11987160
    Abstract: A crane includes a control interface to receive an operating instruction defining a target position, and a controller to determine movements of crane components and to generate driving instructions to be applied to a system of hydraulic actuators. The controller estimates a pressure level of a required working pressure of a hydraulic pump of each of the hydraulic actuators for the determined movements, and compares the estimated pressure levels and identifies the hydraulic actuators as a high pressure function, or as a low pressure function, based on the comparisons. The controller determines a time period during a movement from a current position to a target position, in which only the hydraulic actuators identified as a high pressure function or as a low pressure function is/are activated, and generates driving instructions for the hydraulic actuators to perform the determined movements, including activation of the determined hydraulic actuators during the time period.
