Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of generating one or more skeletal characteristic values of a subject from a planar bone image, comprising identifying one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in the planar bone image and performing one or more feature analyses on the regions of interest to generate the skeletal characteristic values. The generated characteristic values correspond to the bone quality of the subject, and may be used to evaluate the overall bone status and future fracture risk.

Abstract: Provided are a detection system, compensation method and computer-readable recording medium applicable to semiconductor surface morphology to provide feature information corresponding to spectral signals to a neural network model and provide feature information corresponding to spectral signals, a detected height, and an actual height actually measured to another neural network model. The combinational neural network models thus trained and built can generate a compensation value for a to-correct height corresponding to a to-correct spectral signal having variability. The compensation value provides required compensation for height information to not only enhance the precision of the detection of semiconductor surface morphology but also enhance the reliability of the detection system.

Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for a Layer1/Layer2 Triggered Mobility (LTM) operation is provided. The method receives, from a source cell, an LTM cell switch command Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including a Timing Advance Command (TAC) field. The method switches from the source cell to a target cell in response to receiving the LTM cell switch command MAC CE. In a case that the TAC field is set to an invalid value, the method performs a Random Access (RA) procedure with the target cell upon switching to the target cell, where a type of the RA procedure depends on whether the LTM cell switch command MAC CE further includes a Contention-Free Random Access (CFRA)-related field. In a case that the TAC field is set to a valid value, the method skips the RA procedure with the target cell upon switching to the target cell.

Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for Layer 1/Layer 2 Triggered Mobility (LTM) is provided. The method receives, from a source cell, a Cell Switch Command (CSC) Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), the CSC MAC CE indicating a target cell, Timing Advance (TA) information, and a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state. The method determines whether the TA information is valid. In a case that the TA information is valid, the method determines a pathloss based on a pathloss reference signal associated with the TCI state. In a case that the TA information is not valid, the method determines whether the CSC MAC CE includes Contention-Free Random Access (CFRA) information, and then determines the pathloss based on a Synchronized Signal Block (SSB) indicated in the CFRA information in a case that the CSC MAC CE includes the CFRA information.

Abstract: A method for configuring a subsequent conditional primary secondary cell addition/change (S-CPAC) to a UE is provided. The method receives from a source cell an S-CPAC configuration that includes an RRC configuration for a primary secondary cell (PSCell) and a set of conditions for switching to the PSCell. The method receives a secondary key (SK)-counter list associated with the S-CPAC. The list includes one or more SK-counter entries arranged in an order. The method stores the S-CPAC configuration and the SK-counter list. After determining that one or more of the set of conditions are satisfied, the method selects a first SK-counter entry of the SK-counter list and configures the UE with the S-CPAC configuration to switch from another PSCell to the PSCell. In configuring the UE with the S-CPAC configuration, the first SK-counter entry is applied. The method then removes the first SK-counter entry from the SK-counter list.

Abstract: A method for performing an RA procedure for LTM is provided. The method receives a PDCCH order for initiating the RA procedure for an LTM candidate cell. The PDCCH order indicates that an index of a preamble is not “0.” The PDCCH order includes a first DCI field indicating that a transmission of the preamble is an initial transmission or a re-transmission and a second DCI field indicating the LTM candidate cell. The method increments a power ramping counter by 1 when the first DCI field indicates the re-transmission and the PDCCH order indicates an SSB for the re-transmission of the preamble. The SSB is the same as an SSB used in a previous transmission of the preamble. The method sets, based on the incremented power ramping counter, a power parameter. The method re-transmits, to the LTM candidate cell, the preamble based on at least the set power parameter.
