  • Patent number: 11912178
    Abstract: A system, mechanisms, and components for converting the interior of a vehicle into a sleeping space is disclosed. The vehicle may have front seats with modular back supports that can transform to reduce the seat height so that the back support can recline horizontally backwards and lay flat with the bottom support of the rear seat. The modular back support may have an upper section and a lower section, where the upper section may fold or retract inside the lower section. Additionally, the headrest of the front seat may also retract inside the modular back support to reduce the seat height. The mid-section of the vehicle where the center console and armrest are located may also transform to create a continuous flat surface inside the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11916640
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to reporting beam failure. A terminal device performs beam failure detection on a first number of serving cells configured for the terminal device. The terminal device determines information to at least indicate respective results of the beam failure detection on a second number of serving cells among the first number of serving cells, where the second number is smaller than the first number. The determined information is transmitted by the terminal device to a network device serving the terminal device using a resource allocated for the terminal device. Based on the information, the network device determines an overall result of the beam failure detection performed on the first number of serving cells.

  • Patent number: 11910034
    Abstract: An intermediary system and method may be provided for assisting a receiver system in processing video data which is streamed as a video stream to the receiver system via a network. The processing of the video data by the receiver system may be dependent on an analysis of the video data. The intermediary system may provide processing assist data to the receiver system which comprises an analysis result or a processing instruction derived from the analysis results. Accordingly, the receiver system may process the video data without a need for the receiver system itself to analyze the video data, thereby offloading computational complexity to the intermediary system.

  • Patent number: 11902124
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determining a packet's round trip time (RTT) in a network. A system can receive information of a packet sent by a component of the network and further determine an expected acknowledgement (ACK) sequence number associated with the packet based upon received information of the packet. The system can receive information of a subsequent packet received by the component and determine an ACK sequence number and a receiving time of the subsequent packet. In response to determining that the ACK sequence number of the subsequent TCP packet matches the expected ACK sequence number, the system can determine a round trip time (RTT) of the packet based upon the received information of the packet and the received information of the subsequent packet.
