  • Patent number: 12235600
    Abstract: A removable unit that is attachable to and detachable from a body of an apparatus includes a positioning projection and an upstream projection. The positioning projection projects downward to position a unit or a member located below the removable unit when the removable unit is attached to the body. The upstream projection projects more downward than the positioning projection at an upstream end of the removable unit in an attachment direction of the removable unit to the apparatus. A lower end of the positioning projection is located higher than a line connecting a lower end of the upstream projection and a lower portion of a downstream end of the removable unit in the attachment direction when viewed in a direction orthogonal to both an up and down direction and the attachment direction.

  • Publication number: 20240334441
    Abstract: A radio terminal (2) receives a first information element indicating a list of search spaces configured by a base station (1) for the radio terminal (2) via a dedicated signaling message destined for the radio terminal (2). The first information element contains a second information element indicating a configuration of each search space required by the radio terminal (2) to monitor downlink control information in each search space included in the list. The first information element further contains a third information element indicating, on a per-search space basis, whether each search space is initially deactivated. This contributes to, for example, promptly deactivating a radio resource range used for transmission of downlink control information or promptly deactivating a reception operation of a radio terminal therein.
