Patent number: 12289758Abstract: A method performed by a WTRU may comprise receiving a plurality of LBT configurations associated with one or more of a beam, a BWP, a LCH, a set of LBT parameters, a transmission type or an LBT subband. The method may further comprise receiving an indication to transmit using a first LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations. An attempt to acquire a channel may then be made using the first LBT configuration. The indication to transmit may additionally indicate a second LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations. Data may be transmitted on the channel when the attempt to acquire the channel is successful. An attempt to acquire the channel using the second LBT configuration of the plurality of LBT configurations may be made when the attempt to acquire the channel using the first LBT configuration fails.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: J. Patrick Tooher, Faris Alfarhan, Paul Marinier, Aata El Hamss, Ghyslain Pelletier, Dylan James Watts

Publication number: 20250124237Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to assess the veracity of textual input. Upon receiving user-provided content, the system segments the input into fact-oriented textual fragments. Subsequently, search strings are crafted from the fragments and employed to fetch pertinent documents from a designated database. Each extracted document undergoes filtration to distill fact-based content. The initial fragments are then juxtaposed against the distilled content to discern similarities or discrepancies. Culminating the process, the system classifies the content of user into specific veracity categories, ranging from absolute terms like “true” to negations like “false”, with additional nuanced classifications like “misleading” or “outdated” further enhancing the precision of the assessment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Jonathan GILLHAM, Conor WATT, Liam MCNALLY, James BALL

Patent number: 12273888Abstract: Methods and apparatus for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) power control are described. A method includes receiving a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) list configuration including entries, each including a resource allocation that includes a slot offset value. L1 signaling is received indicating a minimum slot offset value. Downlink control information (DCI) is decoded on a physical downlink control channel in a slot. An index is obtained from the decoded DCI, identifying an entry in the TDRA list. A particular slot offset value identified by the index is retrieved from the TDRA list and compared with the minimum slot offset value. If the particular slot offset value is less than the minimum slot offset value, the entry is invalid. If the particular slot offset value is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value, a physical downlink shared channel is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Moon-il Lee, Erdem Bala, Janet A.

Publication number: 20250092762Abstract: A perf wash cement (“P/W/C”) abandonment job is conducted in an offshore oil or gas well annulus (2), in particular the washing or cementing operation using a rotating head (6, 8) with nozzles (7, 9) dispensing wash fluid or cement at pressure. Certain values of parameters of a washing or cementing job have been found surprisingly to affect the quality of the job, or the degree to which they affect the quality of the job has been unexpected. These include rotation rate of the tool, the direction of translational movement of the tool, and the volume flow rate and pressure per nozzle of cement or wash fluid (and hence nozzle size).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Rick Watts, Stein Haavardstein, Lars Hovda, James C.

Publication number: 20240166037Abstract: A system for modifying a separation distance between a vehicle cover and a vehicle bed is provided. The system comprises a plurality of lift members coupled to the vehicle bed and the vehicle cover. Each lift member comprises an active actuator actuatable to extend the each lift member and a passive actuator operable to extend the each lift member. Actuating the active actuators of first ones of the lift members causes the passive actuators of second ones of the lift members to extend to move the vehicle cover away from the vehicle bed by a first separation distance. Actuating the active actuators of the second ones of the lift members causes the passive actuators of the first ones of the lift members to extend to move the vehicle cover away from the vehicle bed by a second separation distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventor: Darren James Watt

Patent number: 11577484Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a web control guide for an inflation and sealing assembly of a protective packaging formation device for inflating a web material into a chain of inflated cushions. The web control guide is positioned along a material path at a transverse spacing from a first compression element and constrains a first thickness of the material path measured normal to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the material path. The transverse spacing and constrained thickness dimension are sufficiently small to prevent transverse movement of the flexible material towards the first compression element to avoid excessive heating of the web material outside a sealing zone.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Pregis Innovative Packaging LLCInventors: William James Watts, Julian Michael Moore, Charles Anthony Daigle, Joseph Vincent Prisco
