  • Patent number: 12115270
    Abstract: A pulsed xenon UV disinfection system for treating objects present inside a room and/or area surrounding the system. The system includes an head portion, an intermediate portion and a lower portion. The head portion includes a lamp, a housing and a reflector to redirect the UV rays in preferred direction. A shutter mechanism is disposed in the intermediate portion includes a shutter to provide protection to the lamp. A shape changing mechanism comprising second actuator to change shape of reflector as per the treatment conditions and/or physical characteristics of the room. The shape of reflector facilitates to converge or diverge UV rays emitted by the lamp to effectively treat objects/area close to the system or away from the system, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240316375
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems, assemblies, and methodologies for inhibiting combustion within fluid containers, enhancing the safety of such containers. One aspect includes a novel base module from which assemblies of varying shape and size, suitable for disposing within a variety of different fluid containers, are created. In one embodiment, the base module is made from an expanded mesh which is rolled in a novel cylindrical configuration according to a novel methodology. In another embodiment, the base module may be combined with other base modules to form an assembly. The present invention is also directed to an apparatus and method for creating base modules which allows for varying density of the base modules and therefore varying flexural strength and rigidity of the assemblies. As such, the packing density of assemblies within containers may be optimized to produce the desired effect of inhibiting combustion within the container.

  • Patent number: 12010729
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for a random access channel (RACH) procedure at a user equipment. For example, the method may select a two-step RACH procedure or a four-step RACH procedure at the UE based at least on RACH configuration information received from a base station or the RACH configuration information at the UE. The example method may further include transmitting, from the UE, one or more messages associated with the two-step RACH procedure or the four-step RACH procedure based on the selection.

  • Patent number: 11968570
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for handover of a user equipment (UE) from a serving base station to a target base station. A target base station may use one or more directional beams to establish wireless communication links with UEs within a coverage area of the target base station. Directional beams may create a narrow-beam, high-bandwidth connection with a UE in a limited geographic area. Handover procedures include some latency between when a target base station dedicates resources to a UE and when the UE executes a communication via those dedicated resources. To compensate for latencies in a handover procedure and for the geographic limitations of directional beams, a target base station may assign multiple directional beams to the UE during a handover procedure. Each directional beam may be associated with access parameters used by the UE to generate messages (e.g., a RACH message) during the handover procedure.
