Patent number: 12219417Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may comprise a processor. The processor may be configured to receive (e.g., via broadcast) configuration information indicating a time that a same-PCI satellite switch may occur. In one or more examples, the WTRU may transmit assistance information prior to the same-PCI satellite switch. The assistance information may, for example, include a re-synchronization duration, capabilities to synchronization procedures, and/or a time indication for resuming TX and/or RX. The WTRU may receive configuration information for satellite re-synchronization. The WTRU may perform the same-PCI satellite switch to the second satellite, for example, based on the configuration information indicating the time for the same-PCI satellite switch. In performing the same-PCI satellite switch, the WTRU may start a resynchronization gap, suspend UL TX and/or DL RX, and/or perform re-synchronization procedure(s).Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Dylan Watts, Paul Marinier, Moon Il Lee, Brian Martin, Oumer Teyeb

Patent number: 11983020Abstract: An automated modular vehicle configuration system and method that comprises a Configuration Management Unit in the vehicle that detects assemblies attached to the vehicle and configures the vehicle's autopilot based on the detected assemblies. Each attached assembly comprises mechanical and electrical components, ports and a memory device that contains identification information and data related to the assembly, such as assembly type, propulsion type, position, flight time, manufacturing date. Users can swap assemblies on the vehicle in order to provide different features to the vehicle. In particular this invention relates to drone vehicles that can be configured with different types of propulsion systems with different performance profiles and equipment such as gimbals, cameras, landing gear, measurement payloads and such. The invention also automatically downloads vehicle configuration parameters and autopilot firmware updates.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Watts Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Brian Watts, Caleb Pinckney, Thomas Charles Lauzon, Jacob Dahl, Graham Newton

Publication number: 20230091744Abstract: A method of making a multi-layer product or seal is described. An adhesive layer is applied to a surface of a first layer. A patch material is applied to a surface of the adhesive layer, using a coating or spraying process, to define one or more patches. At least the first layer is cut to define pre-formed lines of separation defining one or more first portions. Each first portion is associated with a respective one of the one or more patches.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: MEDI-Clear LtdInventors: Mark Paul HOGAN, Stephen John Crow, Steven Brian Watt

Patent number: 11505387Abstract: A cover sheet to be secured to the tray of a container is described. The cover sheet includes a first layer and a second layer. An adhesive layer is provided between the first and second layers. The first layer has a first cut line that extends across a corner of the cover sheet between a first edge and a second edge to define a tab portion of the first layer. The second layer has a second cut line that extends from the first edge to the second edge or a third edge to define a removable strip of the second layer. Removing the removable strip and the adhered tab portion exposes the adhesive layer on a securing portion of the first layer that can be used to secure the cover sheet to the tray.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: MEDI-Clear LtdInventors: Mark Paul Hogan, Steven Brian Watt
