  • Publication number: 20240129928
    Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards cooperative configured grant with respect to the configured grant timeslots of multiple cells, particularly for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) devices configured for packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) for duplicate packet communications. Selection of slots is delay aware with respect to PDCP communications. By selecting a first serving cell's configured grant physical resource block (PRB) time slots in a timing alignment with a second cell's configured grant PRB time slots, end-to-end PDCP delay is reduced for duplicate communications between a user equipment communicating with the first cell and the second cell for PDCP duplication. Multiple UEs can be prioritized based on their current condition data with respect to slot assignment. Also described is a controller proposing a different configuration of configured grant slots, which the controller can then use if accepted by the deciding entity.

  • Patent number: 11306744
    Abstract: A pump comprises: a vertically-extending conduit having an intermediate portion extending between lower and upper portions, the intermediate portion having a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the upper portions, a lift arrangement including an array of ports arranged over a length of the lower portion, each port of the array having a terminus at the lower portion and extending horizontally away from the terminus such that the working fluid is directed towards a center of the conduit; and an injector having a terminus at the top of the intermediate portion and extending vertically downwardly such that the working fluid is directed vertically upwardly, the terminus of the injector being defined by a cylindrical groove, an annular chamber surrounding the injector, having a length and communicating with the injector through a row of apertures spaced a distance from the junction of the transition portion and the intermediate portion.

  • Patent number: 10692280
    Abstract: The present application discloses a 3D indoor modeling method based on point cloud data. After pre-processing the raw point cloud data, the normal vectors and curvature values of the point cloud data are obtained through local surface properties analysis. By 3D point segmentation, the initial planes can be obtained. After performing the room layout re-construction, an initial 3D model can be generated. Finally, in combination with the returned laser pulse and the distance between the wall surface-objects and the wall surface, the specific form of the wall surface-object is reconstructed to achieve high-precision 3D modeling of complex indoor scenes. The method does not need any prior knowledge in advance, and strengthens the recognition and re-construction of the specific form of the wall surface, particularly suitable for high-precision 3D modeling of indoor scenes with high complexity.
