  • Publication number: 20240195329
    Abstract: A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and a power generation device based on a plant fiber and a modified tribo-electronegative material is provided. A rotor is located inside a stator. An inner circumferential surface of the stator is provided with copper, and an outer circumferential surface of the rotor is provided with a tribo-electronegative material. The tribo-electronegative material is not in contact with the copper, and an air gap is formed between the tribo-electronegative material and the copper. The inner circumferential surface of the stator is further provided with a plant fiber brush. During rotation, the tribo-electronegative material scrapes the plant fiber brush to allow soft contact to transfer charges. The rotor is axially connected to a driving shaft of a waterwheel, and the TENG operates under an action of a water flow. The tribo-electronegative material is obtained by etching a film to form a nano-textured structure and depositing a fluorocarbon layer.

  • Publication number: 20240195549
    Abstract: An apparatus and system are described to support secondary cell (SCell) dormancy switching when cross-carrier scheduling (CCS) from SCell to primary cell (PCell) transmission is supported are described. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on the sSCell has a downlink control information format (DCI) format 0_1 or 1_1 containing a SCell dormancy indication field and a CIF are used to indicate CCS and SCell dormancy switching to deactivate the SCell. The CIF value is either 0 or indicates the PCell and may depend on whether physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission is scheduled. The DCI triggers bandwidth part (BWP) switching for the PCell to indicate to the UE to switch to monitoring UE-specific search space sets on the PCell instead of on the SCell.

  • Publication number: 20240195535
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to de-prioritization of retransmission. A device determines whether user data is absent in a transport block that is to be retransmitted through a hybrid automatic repeat request process. The device deprioritizes selection of the hybrid automatic repeat request process for one or more transmissions on a configured grant based at least in part on the determination. Through this solution, it is possible to avoid or deprioritize unnecessary retransmissions of the transport blocks without user data.

  • Publication number: 20240195979
    Abstract: A motion vector for a current block of a current frame is decoded from a compressed bitstream. A location of a reference block within an un-generated reference frame is identified. The reference block is generated using a forward reference frame and a backward reference frame without generating the un-generated reference frame. The reference block is generated by identifying an extended reference block by extending the reference block at each boundary of the reference block by a number of pixels related to a filter length of a filter used in sub-pixel interpolation; and generating pixel values of only the extended reference block by performing a projection using the forward reference frame and the backward reference frame without generating the whole of the un-generated reference frame. The current block is then decoded based on the reference block and the motion vector.

  • Publication number: 20240195983
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry receiving prediction information of a plurality of blocks in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The processing circuitry determines, based on the prediction information, whether at least one of a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) mode or a bi-directional optical flow (BDOF) mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks. If the DMVR mode or the BDOF mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks, the processing circuitry determines that a plurality of merge with motion vector difference (MMVD) merge flags indicating whether a MMVD mode is applied to the plurality of blocks, respectively, is inferred as false for the plurality of blocks. If the plurality of MMVD merge flags is inferred as false, the processing circuitry reconstructs each block in the plurality of blocks without applying the MMVD mode.
