  • Patent number: 11902002
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some networks, a user equipment (UE) may switch between serving beams of a transmitting device that are associated with different bandwidth parts of a radio frequency spectrum. To improve aspects of beam measurement and selection, a UE may be configured to support various techniques for beam measurement according to the different bandwidth parts. For example, a UE may receive a beam measurement configuration associated with one or more beams, and may monitor for reference signals associated with the beams using the different bandwidth parts. The UE may determine a channel quality of one or more of the beams based on the monitoring, and transmit a beam measurement report to the network in accordance with the beam measurement configuration. In some examples, such a report may be transmitted based on the UE determining that an event condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 11830112
    Abstract: A method for rapid reconstruction of a woven composite material microstructure based on topological features is provided. First, geometric modeling is performed according to the topological features of fiber bundles and matrix in a woven composite structure, then the topological features are identified on the basis of a ?-computed tomography (CT) sequence image, the change laws of the features are extracted, and finally, a geometric model is reconstructed to complete the modeling of a microstructure. Compared with the structure modeling method based on weaving process parameters, the consistency between the reconstructed model and a real woven structure is improved, facilitating the improvement of the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the mechanical properties of the material; and compared with the method for structure reconstruction directly on the basis of a ?CT image, a tedious point cloud data process is simplified and calculation costs are greatly reduced.
