  • Publication number: 20250084805
    Abstract: The provided is energy storage method and device for biomass cascade pyrolysis coupled with new energy power generation. The key point of the technical solution is that, with inexpensive, clean and safe biomass as energy storage medium, the redundant unstable electric energy is converted by a cascade pyrolysis energy storage system into an easy-to-store liquid and solid chemical energy in biomass pyrolytic products, and based on use requirements, can be further converted into clean fuels for power generation or exported renewable chemicals, so as to realize continuous stable output of the new energy power generation systems. Furthermore, the cascade pyrolysis energy storage system can, based on the principle of “energy level matching”, fully recover and utilize the electric energy, high-temperature heat energy and low-temperature heat energy generated in pyrolysis processes, thereby maximizing the energy utilization efficiency of the system.

  • Publication number: 20250083663
    Abstract: A system for augmented-reality (AR)-assisted vehicle parking with operator-in-loop selections and alignments of feature point vicinities (FPVs) includes a vehicle, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), sensors detecting FPVs of a parking location and controllers. The controllers have a processor, memory, and input/output (I/O) ports in communication with the HMIs and sensors. The memory stores an AR-assisted parking application (ARAPA) executed by the processor. The AR-assisted parking application (ARAPA) has a training session (TS) and a live session (LS), and is activated upon completing parking at a parking spot at the parking location. The TS portion trains the ARAPA to recognize FPVs of the parking spot. The LS portion prompts an operator to select the parking spot, guides the operator into the parking spot by displaying trained FPVs onto live sensor data displayed on the HMI, and instructs the operator to align the trained FPVs with corresponding real-world FPVs by maneuvering the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12250675
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may In support multiple component carriers that may be used to transmit uplink transmissions. One carrier may be used at a time such that the may switch between the carriers based on an uplink transmission schedule. In some cases, switching may be limited by a consecutive uplink switching rule or UE capability. In some cases, the gap between two consecutive uplink carrier switching operations may be limited to a resource (e.g., slot, symbol), such that the UE may expect to perform at most one switching operation per resource. In some implementations, the gap between two consecutive uplink carrier switching operations may be limited to a duration (e. g., 14 symbols, 4 symbols), such that the UE may expect to perform at most one switching operation per a duration less than or equal to a threshold.

  • Patent number: 12225395
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of a monitoring window used by the base station to monitor for uplink transmissions from the UE. The UE may receive a control signal scheduling uplink resources for an uplink transmission by the UE on at least a first component carrier, the first component carrier in a first radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may reconfigure, in response to the received control signal, a first transmit chain of the UE from a second component carrier in a second radio frequency spectrum band to the first component carrier in the first radio frequency spectrum band for the uplink transmission. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the indicated monitoring window and using at least the reconfigured first transmit chain, the uplink transmission on the first component carrier using the scheduled uplink resources.
