  • Publication number: 20240140829
    Abstract: An exemplary power system utilizes turbines configured within a water intake conduit to the desalination processor to produce power for the desalination processor. Water intakes are configured to provide a natural flow of water to the desalination processor though hydrostatic pressure. One or more turbines coupled with the water intake conduits are driven and produce power for the system, as well as through solar and battery power. The desalination processor incorporates Graphene filters to and may include a structured water system to increase the H3O2 concentration of the water prior to Graphene filters. Discharge water may be pumped back into the body of water but be separated from the intakes, A secondary power source, such as a renewable power source, may be used to produce supplemental power for the system. Power produced may be provided to a secondary outlet, such as a power grid, all above and/or underground.

  • Publication number: 20240147395
    Abstract: A method performed by a network node (110) in a wireless communications network (100) for enabling a timing reference in a second wireless device (122) for use in Sidelink, SL, transmissions over a SL communication link (133) with a first wireless device (121) is provided. The network node estimates (201) a propagation delay of SL transmissions over the SL communication link (133) between the first and second wireless device (122). Then, the network node (110) transmits, to the second wireless device (122), timing reference information based on a timing reference originating from a time reference node in a wireless communications network (100), and on the estimated propagation delay of SL transmissions over the SL communication link (133) between the first and second wireless device (122). A network node (110) for enabling a timing reference in a second wireless device (122) for use in SL transmissions over a SL communication link (133) with a first wireless device (121) is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11973596
    Abstract: There is presented a method for operating a user equipment, UE (300) in a wireless communication network (10). The method comprises receiving (302) a message indicating an uplink radio resource, the uplink resource having occurred before receiving the message. The method further comprises transmitting (304) a second representation of a data packet based on determining that the indicated uplink radio resource has been used by the UE for transmitting a first representation of the data packet, prior to receiving the message. Additionally, a method for operating a network node (200) in a wireless communication network (10) is disclosed, the method comprises detecting (202) a signal on an uplink resource configured for grant free access and transmitting (204) a non-UE specific message based on the signal not being successfully received and wherein the non-UE specific message comprises information indicating the uplink resource configured for grant free access.

  • Patent number: 11968200
    Abstract: An enterprise platform may retrieve, from a collaboration data store, information about a selected enterprise team. The enterprise platform may then transmit, from a set of integration tools to a workflow tool of a remote cloud-based environment, a data payload including a notification request associated with a channel. The enterprise platform may also transmit, from a runtime environment to a business communication platform of the cloud-based environment, a request to post a notification to the channel and arrange for a member of the selected enterprise team to receive an adaptive information card, pushed by the business communication platform via the channel, containing information associated with at least one of the integration tools. The member who receives the adaptive information card may also, via selection of a graphical icon on the card, respond to the business communication platform via bi-directional communication.

  • Publication number: 20240121686
    Abstract: A technique for forwarding data packets (730) during a handover of a radio device (100) from a source cell to a target cell of a radio network (702) serving as a time-sensitive networking, TSN, bridge (700) is described. As to a method aspect of the technique at the radio device (100), first TSN data packets (730) are forwarded in the source cell using a first PDU session (704) between the radio device (100) and a user plane, UP (300), of a core network, CN (720), of the radio network (702). Prior to releasing the first PDU session (704), a second PDU session (704) is established (404) between the radio device (100) and the UP (300) of the CN (720) in the target cell, wherein the first PDU session (704) uses a first active protocol stack at the radio device (100) and the second PDU session (704) uses a second active protocol stack at the radio device (100). Second TSN data packets (730) are forwarded in the target cell using the second PDU session (704).

  • Patent number: 11938677
    Abstract: A positioning system moves an object in two generally orthogonal directions using a rotationally adjustable bearing system that connects the object to two pairs of non-parallel rails, the bearing system permitting the object to be smoothly translated in one or two directions to a desired position in planar space. This translation is performed smoothly notwithstanding a lack of parallelism between the linear rails.

  • Patent number: 11897046
    Abstract: A welding apparatus has a guide rail arrangement with at least one guide rail attachable to a welding target. A carriage has a carriage housing and a rail follower assembly that is movably mountable to the guide rail arrangement for relative movement along the at least one guide rail. A feedstock source is disposed within the carriage housing and configured to deposit a feedstock material on a target surface of the welding target. An ultrasonic weld head is partially disposed within the carriage housing and has a sonotrode that extends toward the target surface so as to engage the deposited feedstock material and apply a normal welding force to the deposited feedstock material and the target surface.
