Patent number: 11963141Abstract: Method of scrambling signals, transmission point device, and user equipment using the method are provided. The method includes: sending an ID table to a user equipment through higher layer signaling, the ID table being a subset of the whole ID space and containing available IDs for the user equipment; notifying the user equipment an ID in the ID table to be used through physical layer signaling or UE specific higher layer signaling; generating a random seed based on the notified ID; initializing a scrambling sequence by the random seed; and scrambling the signals with the initialized scrambling sequence. The method of the disclosure, by combining physical layer signaling and higher layer signaling, may notify the used group ID and the blind detection space to a UE, wherein the blind detection for the UE is enabled and the signaling overhead is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: SUN PATENT TRUSTInventors: Zhi Zhang, Ming Xu, Masayuki Hoshino, Daichi Imamura, Akihiko Nishio

Patent number: 11949626Abstract: The present disclosure provides a terminal device that allows constraints on user allocation to be prevented and spread codes to be allocated in a scheduler when non-adaptive HARQ is employed using a PHICH. A codeword generator generates code words by encoding data, a layer mapping unit places each CW in one or a plurality of layers, a DMRS generator generates a reference signal for each layer in which a CW is placed by using any resource among a plurality of resources defined by a mutually orthogonal plurality of OCCs, and an ACK/NACK demodulator receives a response signal indicating a retransmission request. When a response signal requesting retransmission of only a CW placed in a plurality of layers is received, the DMRS generator uses each resource having the same OCC among the plurality of resources for the reference signals generated in the corresponding layers.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Masayuki Hoshino, Akihiko Nishio, Daichi Imamura

Patent number: 5074534Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automotive seat which includes a seat frame and a plurality of S-springs which are spanned between spaced two portions of the seat frame. Each spring has one U-shaped end portion. In order to tightly and unmovably connect the U-shaped end portion of each spring to selected one of the side portions of the frame, an improved spring holding structure is formed on the selected portion of the frame, which includes a tunnel portion which is integrally formed on the selected portion and two raised portions which are integrally formed on the same selected portion in a manner to put therebetween the tunnel portion. The distance between the two raised portions is substantially equal to the longitudinal length of the U-shaped end portion of the spring. The U-shaped end portion of the spring is received in the tunnel portion having its longitudinal ends respectively contacting with the two raised portions.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1989Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: Ikeda Bussan Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akihiko Hoshino

Patent number: 5002339Abstract: A pair of cover half members are attached to each other and to a seat hinge base plate in such a manner as to enclose the base plate. The respective cover halves each snap directly onto the base plate at a single point on their lower sides. At their upper sides the covers snap onto each other. The connection between the covers and the base plate is firm but is still resilient enough to allow sufficient movement between the cover assembly and the base plate in the event that large forces or shocks are applied to the cover. The connection between the cover halves is sufficiently strong that forces acting on the cover halves cannot readily force them apart nor cause them to become detached from the base plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1989Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: Ikeda Bussan Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Yamashita, Hiroaki Iwamoto, Akihiko Hoshino, Takashi Hosoe
