  • Publication number: 20240107454
    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from one or more peer UEs. The controller determines a Sidelink (SL) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration set, and applies the SL DRX configuration set to enable a DRX operation for SL communications with the peer UEs via the wireless transceiver; wherein the SL DRX configuration set is determined based on one of the following: one or more types of one or more SL services which the UE is participating with the peer UEs; one or more SL DRX configurations received from the peer UEs; and control information received from a Base Station (BS).

  • Publication number: 20240107416
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a first UE. In certain configurations, the first UE operates in an idle or inactive protocol state in a service of a first cell and performs a discovery procedure with a second UE, wherein the discovery procedure includes indicating, to the second UE, an identity of the first cell. The first UE further performs a cell reselection procedure to a second cell, receives, from the second UE, subsequent to the performing the cell reselection procedure, a message for forwarding to the first cell, and sends, to the second UE, a notification message, wherein the notification message includes an indication of an inability to forward the message.

  • Patent number: 9580014
    Abstract: A method of detecting and displaying the obstacles and data related to obstacles on a digital display starts with a detection processing unit receiving a digital video input signal from a first camera and depth data from a second camera. Digital input video input signal may include images of an area surrounding the vehicle. Digital video input signal may be analyzed to determine whether an obstacle is present in the area. When an obstacle is detected, the depth data may be analyzed to obtain a distance associated with the obstacle. Digital video output may be generated that includes the digital video input signal and a display of the distance associated with the obstacle. The display of the distance may be overlaid on the display of the obstacle. Digital video output may then be transmitted to the display device to be displayed to the user. Other embodiments are also described.

  • Patent number: 9058706
    Abstract: A camera that is mounted on a vehicle is used to monitor the vehicle, the driver and the contents therein. The camera includes an external housing, a camera module having a camera lens, a lighting component, a dimmer switch and a transmission medium. The external housing may be made of alloy. The camera module may capture video data and the transmission medium may be coupled to the camera module to transmit the captured video data as a live video stream to an external device. The lighting component included in the fleet camera apparatus may include LEDs and have infra-red capabilities to provide a night vision mode. The dimmer switch is included to control the LEDs' brightness. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6893230
    Abstract: An improved structure for rotational support for a heat-dissipation fan is disclosed, comprising a hollow ceramic bearing passing through and concentric with the fan rotor and rotating with said rotor, a hollow ceramic support bearing fixedly mounted to the base of the fan, and a hollow or solid ceramic axle tube passing through the inside of said bearing and rotating freely to reduce friction and allow high-speed rotation. The exterior surface of said bearing is ground or otherwise formed to provide better connection with the rotor, while the interior of the bearing and exterior of the axle tube are further processed to reduce contact area therebetween to reduce rotation friction. This improved structure has achieved reduced friction, reduced noise, reduced power consumption, longer life and higher rotational speed.
