  • Publication number: 20260290767
    Abstract: In a method for monitoring a plasma output from a plasma device used to clean an object, a first wavelength of light emitted by the plasma output to be monitored is identified and an intensity of the first wavelength of light is sensed. A second wavelength of light emitted by the plasma output is also identified to be used as a baseline, and an intensity of the second wavelength of light is sensed. The intensities of the first and second wavelengths of light are then compared to determine whether their relationship falls within an acceptable threshold.

  • Patent number: 12739927
    Abstract: A method of small data transmission (SDT) and related wireless device are described. The method comprises obtaining information at a first time about one or more pre-configured SDT resources including a timing advance (TA) value. A validity of a first measurement of the serving cell is determined by determining whether it was obtained within a first time range based on the first time and on a first set of one or more 5G New Radio (NR) parameters. A validity of a second measurement of the serving cell is determined by determining whether it was obtained within a second time range based on a second time (start time of next SDT occasion), and on a second set of one or more 5G NR parameter. The method further comprises validating the TA when the first and second measurements are valid, and performing a SDT uplink transmission using the validated TA.

  • Publication number: 20260248396
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a monitoring auxiliary device and a monitoring system. The monitoring auxiliary device is in wired connection with multiple types of sensors to obtain physiological parameter signals detected by the sensors. The monitoring auxiliary device outputs monitoring-related data in a wired manner. When not in wired connection with the monitor, the monitoring-related data is transmitted to a monitor through a wireless communication module. The monitoring auxiliary device summarizes data from various sensors and outputs said data to the monitor in a wired manner or a wireless manner, requiring very few cables to connect with the monitor, thereby reducing a workload of medical staff plugging and unplugging cables and maintaining a clean surface of patient support.
