  • Patent number: 12294258
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-excitation-source axial-flux permanent-magnet motor with partitioned, hierarchical, and variable poles, and a variable-condition driving control system. The motor mainly includes a main magnetic pole and an auxiliary magnetic pole. The main magnetic pole is responsible for providing a main air gap flux and is connected in series with a dual-stator magnetic circuit. The auxiliary magnetic pole is responsible for adjusting an air gap field and is connected in parallel with the dual-stator magnetic circuit. Magnetic fluxes of the main magnetic pole and the auxiliary magnetic pole together constitute the air gap field. The present disclosure can control a flux path of the auxiliary magnetic pole by controlling the magnitude of a current applied to a field winding, thereby adjusting an air gap flux, expanding a speed range of the motor, and achieving variable-condition operation of the motor.

  • Patent number: 12295043
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for wireless communications that support fallback from a 2-step to a 4-step random access procedures. A user equipment (UE) may establish a connection with a base station using a random access procedure. The random access procedure may be a 2-step random access procedure and reduce a number of handover exchange messages. The 2-step random access procedure may include the UE transmitting, to the base station, a first random access message including a preamble and a payload. In some implementations, the base station may receive the preamble but fail to receive or decode the payload. The random access procedure may utilize the received preamble information instead of performing retransmission of the first random access message. The base station may transmit a second random access message to the UE indicating, explicitly or implicitly, a fallback to a 4-step random access procedure for connection establishment.
