Publication number: 20240196359Abstract: A radio network node (18) is configured for use in a wireless communication network (10). The radio network node (18) receives, from a location server (14), a request (16) for the radio network node (18) to report measurements usable to compute a location of a wireless device (12). The radio network node (18) transmits, to the location server (14), a message (20) that indicates the radio network node (18) is unable to report the measurements and that indicates a cause (22) of the radio network node (18) being unable to report the measurements. The cause (22) may be, for example, that the wireless device (12) has moved to another radio network node. Responsive to receiving the message (20), the location server (14) may transmit, to the other radio network node to which the wireless device (12) has moved, a request (16) for that radio network node to report measurements usable to compute a location of the wireless device (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Yazid Lyazidi, Åke Busin, Ritesh Shreevastav, Sinisa Ljubic, Thomas Johansson

Publication number: 20230185153Abstract: Optical states in TIR-based image displays may be modulated by movement of electrophoretically mobile particles into and out of the evanescent wave region at the interface of a high refractive index convex protrusions and a low refractive index medium. The movement of particles into the evanescent wave region may frustrate TIR and form dark states at pixels. Movement of particles out of the evanescent wave region may allow for TIR of incident light to form bright states at pixels. The movement of the particles may be controlled by employing the drive methods of pulse width modulation, voltage modulation or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: CONCORD (HK) INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION LIMITEDInventors: Thomas JOHANSSON, Vivek PORUSH, Graham BEALES, Peter T.
