  • Publication number: 20250056433
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment may receive a signal in an automatic gain control resource and may receive a physical sidelink feedback channel message based on a gain for reception of the first physical sidelink feedback channel message, where the gain is based on receiving the signal. In some aspects, the first physical sidelink feedback channel message may be one of a set of physical sidelink feedback channel messages time-division multiplexed over a set of contiguous time resources. Additionally, or alternatively, the user equipment may receive a sidelink message after receiving the physical sidelink feedback channel message using a second gain, where the second gain is based on receiving a second signal in a second automatic gain control resource that occurs before the first automatic gain control resource.

  • Publication number: 20250056432
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to sidelink communication between user equipments (UEs). A first UE determines a power level for a physical sidelink format indicator channel (PSFCH) with multiple interlaced resource blocks (RBs) and/or a common interlace. If a reference power level is provided by a network device such as a base station, the UE may determine power levels based on the reference power level. The UE may also determine power levels based on maximum supported power levels for the UE. In some embodiments, a common interlace uses a fixed percentage of maximum UE power. In other embodiments, available transmit power is evenly split between PSFCH RBs and a common interlace. Priority PSFCH dropping rules may be implemented when scheduled PSFCHs exceed power limitations.

  • Publication number: 20250054786
    Abstract: A die bonding tool includes a bond head having a moveable component. The moveable component may be moveable between an extended position in which a lower surface of the moveable component protrudes below a lower surface of the bond head and a retracted position in which the lower surface of the moveable component does not protrude below the lower surface of the bond head. The moveable component may be used to control a shape of a semiconductor die secured to the lower surface of the bond head during a process of bonding the semiconductor die to a substrate. Accordingly, void areas and other bonding defects may be avoided and the bond formed between the semiconductor die and the target substrate may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20250056602
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A non-sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS)-transmitting user equipment (UE) may initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) including multiple contiguous slots and a gap slot. The non-SLSS UE may detect an SLSS UE (capable of transmitting sidelink synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs)) and assume that the gap slot will be filled with an S-SSB. The non-SLSS may transmit a sidelink message during the COT after the gap slot, based on the assumption. Alternatively, based on the SLSS UE indicating that it is capable of transmitting the S-SSB, the non-SLSS UE may schedule transmission of the S-SSB such that the gap slot is filled. If the SLSS UE is incapable of transmitting the S-SSB, the non-SLSS UE may determine a method for transmitting the sidelink message during the already-initiated COT or during another COT.

  • Publication number: 20250049512
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for dynamically visualizing the delivery of a device within a vessel by correlating at least one first extraluminal image with second extraluminal images. The extraluminal images may be correlated based on motion features, without the use of other sensors or timestamps. The first extraluminal image may be a high dose contrast x-ray angiogram (“XA”) and the second extraluminal images may be low dose contrast XAs. The high dose contrast XA may be used to generate a vessel map. The low dose contrast XAs may be taken during the delivery of a device, such as a balloon, stent, probe, or the like. Correlating the high dose XA and low dose XA based on motion features allows for the vessel map to be overlaid on the low dose XA to provide the physician visualization of where the device is within the vessel tree in real time.

  • Patent number: 12225075
    Abstract: Lease transfer between master and slave replicas is described. A master replicator determines that an initial master replica lease takes effect. On determining that a master replica transfer needs to be performed, sending a transfer preparation message to a target replicator prior to expiration of a current master replica lease. The target replicator locally starts and calculates a new master replica lease and returns a readiness response to the master replicator. The master replicator sends a lease extension message to remaining slave replicators to extend local corresponding leases. After receiving lease extension success responses of a majority of the slave replicators, the master replicator terminates the local master replica lease of the master replicator in advance, and sends a transfer confirmation message to the target replicator. The target replicator validates the new master replica lease to make the target replicator a new master replicator.

  • Patent number: 12225483
    Abstract: In the context of a slot of a sidelink (SL) communication frame of a user equipment (UE), the slot is configured with a resource element allocation comprising an SL synchronization signal block (S-SSB) occupying a plurality of less than all symbols of the slot, and a plurality of less than all subcarriers of a channel of the slot. The UE determines that an occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) constraint for the slot across the channel will not be met with the resource element allocation. The UE then multiplexes, in response to the determining, a reference signal (RS) across the symbols occupied by the S-SSB in a plurality of resource blocks of the channel not occupied by the S-SSB to meet the OCB constraint. The UE then transmits the slot with the S-SSB and the multiplexed RS.

  • Publication number: 20250048401
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for determining whether to drop an additional signal at an edge interlaced resource block (IRB) of a common interlace. A user equipment (UE) may transmit additional signals via IRBs of the common interlace to improve an occupied channel bandwidth (OCB) of a feedback transmission and may drop one or more additional signals that are proximate (e.g., in frequency) to feedback indications of a configured interlace. To ensure the OCB of the transmission satisfies an OCB threshold, the UE may determine whether to drop an additional signal at an edge IRB, despite the edge IRB being proximate to a feedback indication, according to one or more rules that may be specific to edge IRBs.
