  • Publication number: 20240155504
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for power saving in a user equipment (UE) are described. The UE uses signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) of radio link monitoring (REM) signals to determine whether to enter or exit a relaxation state in which the frequency of measurement of the REM signals is reduced, as is feedback to the base station. The REM relaxation state is dependent on the average SINR of the REM signals over a predetermined time window. Alternatively, the REM relaxation state is dependent on SINR thresholds that include an SINR fluctuation range using a SINR threshold for REM in-sync or derived from a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) curve of SINR using a predetermined maximum SINR fluctuation.

  • Publication number: 20240141537
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a superhydrophobic and self-cleaning anticoagulant composite coating material and a preparation method and use thereof, and relates to the technical field of biomedical materials. In the coating material provided by the present disclosure, a titanium dioxide nanotube-based structure increases microscopic roughness of a surface of a titanium-based metal substrate, and a hydrophobic modification layer reduces surface energy of the material. The rough structure and the hydrophobic modification layer have a synergistic effect to construct a superhydrophobic surface, making the surface of the material have self-cleaning characteristics and low adhesion. Air can be retained on the surface of the material to form an air layer, thereby reducing the contact area between the material and bacteria and platelets in the blood, and inhibiting adhesion of the bacteria, platelets, and plasma proteins to the material.

  • Patent number: 11965959
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes ultrasound systems configured to enhance flow imaging and analysis by adaptively adjusting one or more imaging parameters in response to acquired flow measurements. Example systems can include an ultrasound transducer and one or more processors. Using the system components, mean flow velocity magnitude and acceleration can be determined within a target region during an acquisition phase, which may include a cardiac cycle. One or more adjusted flow imaging parameters, such as adjusted ensemble length, temporal smoothing filter length and/or step size, can be determined based on the acquired flow measurements to increase the signal quality of newly acquired ultrasound echo signals. The adjusted flow imaging parameters can then be applied by the ultrasound transducer during a second acquisition phase.
