  • Patent number: 12244994
    Abstract: A first device includes a memory configured to store instructions and one or more processors configured to receive audio signals from multiple microphones. The one or more processors are configured to process the audio signals to generate direction-of-arrival information corresponding to one or more sources of sound represented in one or more of the audio signals. The one or more processors are also configured to and send, to a second device, data based on the direction-of-arrival information and a class or embedding associated with the direction-of-arrival information.

  • Patent number: 12245310
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast small data transmission in a wireless communication system is provided. A last serving RAN node receives, from the wireless device and via a new RAN node, an AS-RAI related to early data transmission. A last serving RAN node decides whether a UE context relocation to the new RAN node for the wireless device is required or not based on the received AS-RAI. A last serving RAN node transmits, to the new RAN node, an RRC message based on the decision.

  • Patent number: 12245288
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for receiving a downlink signal on the basis of a random-access channel procedure (RACH procedure) by a terminal in an unlicensed band. Specifically, the method may comprise: on the basis of a power ramping counter, configuring transmission power for message A including a first physical random-access channel (PRACH) and a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); on the basis of the transmission power, transmitting message A to a base station; and receiving contention resolution-related message B from the base station in response to message A, wherein an increase is made on the basis that a transmission spatial beam for transmission of message A is configured to be identical to a transmission spatial beam related to transmission of a PRACH preceding message A.

  • Patent number: 12244959
    Abstract: An audio-visual system is shown and describe. The audio-visual system comprises a soundbar and a television monitor assembly. The television monitor assembly comprises a television monitor, a first support and a second support. The first support comprises a first base member and a first vertical member, and the second support comprises a second base member and a second vertical member. The television monitor assembly has one or more free-standing configurations in which the lengths of the first and second base members are substantially perpendicular to the front and rear surfaces of the television monitor and one or more wall-mounted configurations in which the lengths of the first and second base members are substantially parallel to the front rear surfaces of the television monitor. An audio visual system may be provided by attaching a soundbar to the first and second base members in the free-standing configurations.

  • Patent number: 12245490
    Abstract: A display panel including a pixel defining layer including a first portion, in which an opening to expose the first electrode is defined, and a second portion, which is disposed on the first portion and overlaps the first portion. A plurality of thin-films are disposed on the second electrode. An insulation pattern is disposed on the plurality of thin-films, overlaps the pixel defining layer, and overlaps the second portion. A distance between the first portion, which overlaps the insulation pattern, of the sensing electrode and the base insulation layer is greater than that between the second portion, which non-overlaps the insulation pattern, of the sensing electrode and the base insulation layer.
