  • Patent number: 12294406
    Abstract: A communications transceiver system that employs self-interference mitigation techniques can detect static objects by using techniques that introduce angular or Doppler diversity. This can include moving Tx and Rx antennas and/or performing beam sweeping. When processing RF sensing data from reflected RF signals, self-interference mitigation techniques can be used and compensation can be made for the movement and/or beam sweeping to allow for both self-interference mitigation and detection of static objects.

  • Patent number: 12279235
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a sidelink user equipment (UE) operating in a power saving mode may identify a resource reservation configuration for communicating within a resource pool allocated for sidelink communications. The UE may operate in a first power state of the power saving mode during a sensing window. The sensing window may correspond to a resource selection window of the resource pool. The UE may transition, after the sensing window, from the first power state to a second power state that may consume more power than the first power state. The UE may identify a subset of resources of the resource pool in the resource selection window that are available for sidelink transmission by the UE based on transitioning between the first power state and the second power state.

  • Publication number: 20250114394
    Abstract: The composition inhibits severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) via competitive binding to SARS-COV-2 spike protein. The composition includes a plurality of sulfated glycosaminoglycans which bind to SARS-COV-2 spike protein, preventing binding to and uptake by host cells. The sulfated glycosaminoglycans, including N-, 2-O, 3-O, or 6-O sulfate groups, or combinations thereof, include heparins and fucoidans, such as those isolated from brown seaweed. The compositions show antiviral activity, with EC50 as low as 0.08 ?M, and low cytotoxicity, making it promising for clinical use. While established SARS-COV-2 treatments such as remdesivir need to be administered intravenously, the compositions discussed herein are advantageously capable to being delivered as a nasal spray, metered dose inhaler, oral delivery, etc.

  • Publication number: 20250119953
    Abstract: The described techniques enable repeated physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble transmissions across multiple random access occasions (ROs) using a same spatial filter. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a PRACH preamble across multiple ROs, where each RO is associated with a same synchronization signal block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). In such cases, the PRACH repetitions may be transmitted in ROs in accordance with a mapping rule: first, in increasing order of frequency resource index; second, in increasing order of a time resource index; third, in increasing order of PRACH slot indices; and fourth, in increasing order of PRACH association period indices. Additionally, or alternatively, the PRACH repetitions may be transmitted in ROs in accordance with a mapping rule: first, in increasing order of time resource index; second, in increasing order of PRACH slot indices; and third, in increasing order of PRACH association period indices.
