  • Patent number: 12200522
    Abstract: An apparatus for use by a UE configured to conduct a communication in a communication network. The apparatus is configured to receive and process signals from the communication network via signal receiving portions, wherein one of the signal receiving portions is a serving cell signal receiving portion used for connecting to the communication network via a serving cell, and another of the signal receiving portions is a non-serving cell signal receiving portion being not used for connecting to the communication network. A signal receiving portion specific offset value is obtained for each of the signal receiving portions. Signal quality values for signals received by the signal receiving portions from the communication network are measured, wherein the cells include the serving cell. A measurement report is sent to the communication network on the basis of the results of the signal quality measurements and the offset values for the signal receiving portions.

  • Patent number: 12197859
    Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein receive an output generation request from that includes input for generating an output using a language model. The input includes a set of alphanumeric characters associated with operative standards for a first set of actions. The system divides the set of alphanumeric characters into text subsets. For each text subset, a vector representation is determined. Prompts are created for each vector representation including the set of alphanumeric characters, query contexts, keywords, and/or the text subset. Each vector representation's prompt is input into the language model, which generates a second set of actions of related actions, where subsequently generated actions are based on prior generated actions. The system aggregates the second set of actions into a third set of actions and displays a graphical layout. The graphical layout displays a representation of the set of alphanumeric characters and the corresponding actions.

  • Patent number: 12196771
    Abstract: A system for analysis of biopsy samples includes a tissue sample transport mechanism linking a biopsy sample excision tool to a tissue sample holder disposed in a staging area of an analysis unit. The tissue sample is automatically transported from the excision tool to the specimen holder, where the tissue sample is analyzed in the staging area of the analysis unit. The transport mechanism may include tubing and a vacuum source. The tissue sample holder may be configured to slow or temporarily stop a tissue sample for individual analysis, or collect multiple tissue samples for analysis as a group. A tissue sample sorting mechanism may be employed that allows separation of specimens that can be correlated to the analysis.
