  • Patent number: 11963057
    Abstract: After receiving a handover command (22) that commands a wireless device (16) to perform a make-before-break handover (24), the wireless device (16) continues to receive from a source link (20-0) downlink data packets for an unacknowledged mode bearer (21), until after the wireless device (16) establishes a connection with the target link (20-1) as part of the handover. After the wireless device (16) establishes the connection with the target link (20-1), the wireless device (16) receives from the target link (20-1) downlink data packets for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21). The wireless device (16) preserves a downlink data packet sequence number receiver status for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21), by using the same downlink data packet sequence number receiver status for the unacknowledged mode bearer (21) before and after the handover.

  • Patent number: 11944209
    Abstract: A portable sleep support structure for enabling a user to rest comfortably while in a confined space or seated position. The sleep support structure is made of several elements that may be detachable from each other. The sleep support structure, which also includes telescoping elements, enables a user to rest and fall asleep by leaning forward into the sleep support structure which supports the head, neck and torso of a user. This support system enables a user to relax and makes sitting for long periods less stressful, because the user is able to sleep, rest or relax, in the seated position. The sleep support structure is anchored by the bodyweight of the user leaning into the structure, which is placed on the thighs of the user. A torso strap is also utilized to stabilize the chest of a user.

  • Patent number: 11947205
    Abstract: This application relates to a flexible display cover plate, a display panel, and a display apparatus. The flexible display cover plate includes a first cover-plate layer and at least one auxiliary protective layer that is disposed on a face of the first cover-plate layer. The auxiliary protective layer includes a bonding layer and a second cover-plate layer that are superimposed along a direction away from the first cover-plate layer. The bonding layer is a deformable film layer, and a face that is of an outermost second cover-plate layer in the at least one auxiliary protective layer and that is away from the bonding layer is used to attach to a display substrate. When the flexible display cover plate receives external force, both the first cover-plate layer and the auxiliary protective layer can absorb and diffuse impact of the external force, thereby improving a protection effect for the display substrate.

  • Patent number: 11943161
    Abstract: A method and a device in a User Equipment and a base station are provided. The UE receives first information and monitors a first signaling in M Resource Element (RE) sets. The first information determines the M RE sets. The UE assumes that P modulation symbol groups are one-to-one mapped to P RE sets of the M RE sets. One blind detection for the first signaling is performed on the P RE sets. Modulation symbols obtained by modulating the bits in a first bit sequence constitute a first modulation symbol set sequentially. The bits in the first bit sequence are sequentially arranged according to an output of a channel encoder. The first modulation symbol set is successively divided into the P modulation symbol groups, each consisting of X modulation symbols.
