  • Patent number: 12108377
    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices can are provided, which can include configuring one or more bandwidth parts for a secondary cell (SCell) that is in communication with a user equipment (UE). A base station transmits to a UE a first radio resource control (RRC) message including one or more configuration parameters for a first bandwidth part (BWP) associated with a secondary cell (SCell). The UE communicates a first message with the SCell via the first SCell BWP. The UE receives a second RRC message indicating a change from the first SCell BWP to a second SCell BWP to be used for SCell communications. The UE communicates a second message with the SCell via the second SCell BWP.

  • Patent number: 12103058
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a soil remediation device and method. Soil is remediated by (i) introducing hot air at 550-650° C. from an outlet of an air heater into the drum from a circulating hot air inlet of a discharge end fixed hood and transferring heat with the soil by direct countercurrent contact such that the soil is heated, and (ii) releasing heat from a heat accumulator at a bottom of the drum through heat pipes such that the soil is heated. As a temperature of the soil gradually rises to about 300-500° C., water and organic contaminants in the soil are volatilized into a gaseous state and carry dust to become thermal desorption offgas that is separated from the soil, the thermal desorption offgas becoming part of the hot air and flowing from the drum to a dust remover. Part of the hot air is recirculated to the drum, and another part of the hot air is discharged after being purified.

  • Patent number: 12105708
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for executing a relational database management system (RDBMS) in a computer system, wherein the RDBMS manages a relational database comprised of one or more tables storing data. The RDBMS executes a query with a semi-join operation comprising an inclusion join and/or an exclusion join performed against at least an outer table and an inner table, wherein the inclusion join returns a row from the outer table when there is a match with a row in the inner table, and the exclusion join returns a row from the outer table when there is no match with a row in the inner table. The RDBMS performs a rewrite of the query to avoid spooling and/or sorting of the inner table, when the inner table is larger than the outer table and a cost after the rewrite is lower than before the rewrite.
