  • Confirmation mechanism for CSI report activation and deactivation
    Patent number: 11006445
    Abstract: A wireless device receives a first downlink control information indicating activation of a semi-persistent channel state information reporting. A first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) is transmitted confirming the first downlink control information. The first MAC CE is identified by a first MAC subheader with a first logical channel identifier for the semi-persistent channel state information reporting. A second downlink control information indicating activation of a configured uplink grant is received. A second MAC CE confirming the second downlink control information is transmitted. The second MAC CE is identified by a second MAC subheader with a second logical channel identifier for the configured uplink grant.

  • Exhaust heat recovery and acoustic valve with exhaust gas recirculation features
    Patent number: 11002171
    Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust pipe defining an exhaust gas flow path, a heat recovery device connected to the exhaust pipe, and a diverter valve that controls exhaust gas flow between the exhaust pipe and heat recovery device. The diverter valve is moveable between at least a heat recovery mode where the diverter valve blocks flow through the exhaust pipe and directs flow into the heat recovery device, a full bypass acoustic mode where the diverter valve blocks flow through the heat recovery device and directs flow through the exhaust pipe, a transition mode where the diverter valve partially blocks flow through the heat recovery device and partially blocks flow through the exhaust pipe, and a partial bypass acoustic mode where the diverter valve blocks flow through the heat recovery device and partially blocks flow through the exhaust pipe.

  • Methods and systems for control of coolant flow through an engine coolant system
    Patent number: 11002179
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling coolant flow through parallel branches of a coolant circuit including an AC condenser and a charge air cooler. Flow is apportioned through each of an air-conditioning condenser, a charge air cooler (CAC), and a transmission oil cooler (TOC) of the coolant circuit to maintain an estimated transmission oil temperature (TOT) below a threshold. The TOT is estimated from a torque converter slip ratio.

  • Method and system of enhanced interaction with a shared screen
    Patent number: 11003353
    Abstract: A method of and system for enabling enhanced interactions with a shared screen during a virtual communication session is carried out by enabling display of gridlines on the shared screen. The method may include receiving a request via a first control of a user interface to display gridlines on a portion of the user interface, the portion of the user interface displaying a shared screen during the communication session between at least two participants in the communication session where a first participant shares the screen with a second participant, and upon receiving the request, enabling display of the gridlines on the shared screen of each of the first and the second participants. The first control of the user interface may be an option provided by a virtual communication environment via which the communication session between the first and the second participants is established.
