  • Publication number: 20260164217
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described to allow a MTC provider or other AF to specify a target group of UEs without the need to predefine the group or give the target group a EGI. This objective is achieved by storing additional information in a UE-specific context or session context and introducing a new scope indication for the “any UE” target identifier in the service requests or other service messages. The scope indication comprises a matching criteria linked to a context parameter stored by the network node as part of a UE-specific context or session context. The scope indication is applied to the “any UE” target identifier. When a service request or other service message having a target identifier indicating “any UE” is received, the NF can compare the information in the scope indication to the linked context parameter for each UE to determine if it is a target UE. The requested service is then provided for one or more UEs identified as target UEs.

  • Publication number: 20260157438
    Abstract: An aerosol-forming unit, an atomization assembly, manufacturing processed, and a heater. The atomization assembly includes a solid aerosol-forming substrate, a heating element, and electrodes. The solid aerosol-forming substrate is flexible and sheet-shaped. The heating element includes a flexible first wire sewn onto the solid aerosol-forming substrate, and the first wire is made of a conductive material. The electrodes include at least two conductive electrodes electrically connected to the first wire. The heating element formed by sewing wires, which is conducive to adopt finer heating wires. Since the cross-sectional area can be made smaller, the heat start speed is fast and heat dissipation is also rapid, and the solid aerosol-forming substrate can be driven by means of a lower power, thereby facilitating energy conservation. Forming the heating element by the wire-sewing method is conducive to mass and large-scale production.

  • Patent number: 12648578
    Abstract: A lipid composition includes, by weight of the lipid composition: from 30 wt % to 70 wt % a first lipid component; from 10 wt % to 40 wt % a sweetening substance; from 5 wt % to 20 wt % water; from 0.1 wt % to 1.2 wt % an emulsifier; and 1.5 wt % to 11 wt % a second lipid component. The emulsifier has a SFA content of less than 90 wt %. The second lipid component has a SFA content of at least 90 wt %, and fully saturated fatty acids with a carbon chain of more than 16 carbons account for at least 33.3 wt % of the SFA content of the second lipid component by weight. The molar amount of the second lipid component accounts for from 2.2 mol % to 15 mol % of the total molar amount of the first lipid component, the emulsifier and the second lipid component.

  • Patent number: 12647828
    Abstract: A method implemented by a first network node in a telecommunication network is provided. The method includes: determining whether a background data transfer, BDT, policy is to be applied to a first core network, a second core network or both; and in response to the BDT policy being to be applied to both the first core network and the second core network, transmitting, to a second network node, a request for negotiating a common BDT policy for both the first core network and the second core network. If the negotiated BDT policy is applicable to both the first and the second core networks, the applicability of the policy is independent of network coverage, UE support for 5G, availability of the 5G subscription, and whether the UE sessions are handled by the PCF or the PCRF.
