Publication number: 20230413125Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a first network device in a first communications system (e.g., a non-standalone (NSA) system) prior to initiating a handover to a second communications system (e.g., a standalone (SA) system). In some examples, the UE may receive a first tracking reference signal (TRS) from the first network device using a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state. The first network device may include an indication of the first TCI state in a control message. The UE may initiate a handover from the first network device to the second network device. Subsequent to the handover, the UE may receive a second TRS from the second network device. The UE may receive the second TRS using the first TCI state based on determining that one or more antenna port configuration conditions are satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2020Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Chinmay Shankar VAZE, Chun-Hao HSU, Priyanka YENIGALLA, Vishnu Namboodiri KARAKKAD KESAVAN NAMBOODIRI, Zhanyi LIU, Jing LI, Rashmi Ranjan MOHANTY

Patent number: 11814713Abstract: Described herein are methods of processing heat treatable aluminum alloys using an accelerated aging step, along with aluminum alloy products prepared according to the methods. The methods of processing the heat treatable alloys described herein provide a more efficient method for producing aluminum alloy products having the desired strength and formability properties. For example, conventional methods of processing alloys can require 24 hours of aging. The methods described herein, however, substantially reduce the aging time, often requiring eight hours or less of aging time.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Cedric Wu, Rajeev G.

Patent number: 11788178Abstract: Provided herein are highly-formable aluminum alloys and methods of making such alloys. The method of preparing aluminum alloys described herein can include a low final cold reduction step and/or an optional inter-annealing step to produce randomly distributed crystallographic texture components that produce an isotropic aluminum alloy product exhibiting improved formability and deep drawability. The methods described herein result in aluminum alloy microstructures having a balance of alpha fibers and beta fibers that promote improved formability of aluminum alloy sheets. The resulting improvements in quality allow for shaping processes with reduced rates of spoilage.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Sazol Kumar Das, Matthew Josef Heyen, ChangOok Son, Rashmi Ranjan Mohanty, Guillaume Florey
