Abstract: A method and a User Equipment (UE) for beam operations are provided. The method includes monitoring at least one of a plurality of Control Resource Sets (CORESETs) configured for the UE within an active Bandwidth Part (BWP) of a serving cell in a time slot; and applying a first Quasi Co-Location (QCL) assumption of a first CORESET of a set of one or more of the monitored at least one of the plurality of CORESETs to receive a Downlink (DL) Reference Signal (RS), wherein the first CORESET is associated with a monitored search space configured with a lowest CORESET Identity (ID) among the set of one or more of the monitored at least one of the plurality of CORESETs.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration to configure a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and generating first uplink control information (UCI) in response to the first SPS PDSCH, where the RRC configuration includes a first parameter that indicates a priority of the first UCI.

Abstract: Some of the present implementations provide a method for a user equipment (UE) for receiving a power saving signal. The method receives, from a base station, a power saving signal comprising a minimum applicable K0 (K0min) that indicates a minimum scheduling offset restriction between a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The method determines an application delay based on a predefined value. The method then applies the minimum scheduling offset restriction after the application delay.

Abstract: A method for PDCCH monitoring performed by a UE is provided. The method includes performing the PDCCH monitoring in a first group associated with at least one first PDCCH monitoring configuration; receiving, from a base station, DCI comprising an indicator; performing the PDCCH monitoring in a second group associated with at least one second PDCCH monitoring configuration; and stopping the PDCCH monitoring in the first group after receiving the indicator.

Abstract: Customers are identified as they enter a store and linked to one or more items previously ordered on-line. A route through the store to retrieve the ordered items is generated and sent to the customer's mobile device for display. The customer's movements are tracked as he/she goes through the store to retrieve products, and the location of the customer determined whenever he/she selects a product from the shelves. Based on whether the locations of the customer when he/she selected the products matches the predefined locations of the items ordered on-line, the customer is directed to go to one of an audit station or checkout lane, or alternatively, to bypass both audit station and the checkout lane and exit the store. In the latter case, the customer's account is automatically charged for the total cost of the ordered items.

Abstract: A microfluidic chip for three-dimensional cell culture with high-throughput perfusion includes an array of cell culture units, each unit including a cell culture medium inlet hole connecting to one cell culture medium tank, at least one micro-bioreactor, at least one microchannel and at least one medium collection and analysis tank. Each medium collection and analysis tank is connected to an air chamber with an air channel and the air chamber has negative pressure source holes to generate negative pressure to drive the culture medium. The microfluidic chip also includes an intermediate plate connected to the bottom surface of the roof, and two bottom plates detachably assembled at the bottom of the intermediate plate. The first and second bottom surfaces have micro-bioreactors and cylindrical recessed slots and the intermediate plate has corresponding holes to achieve the goal of three-dimensional cell culture using minimum experimental resources with high-throughput perfusion.

Abstract: A gel molding apparatus is adapted to be used in combination with a vessel that has a plurality of solution chambers, and includes a lid plate and a plurality of columns that project from a top surface of the lid plate. Each of the columns has a bottom side connected to the top surface of the lid plate, a top side opposite to the bottom side, and a well recessed from the top side for receiving a gel suspension and having a depth from the top side. A method for gel molding is conducted via the gel molding apparatus. A culture apparatus includes the vessel and the gel molding apparatus. A method for culture is performed through the culture apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an electrode separator, which is formed on a substrate that has strip-like first electrodes and is perpendicular to the first electrodes, wherein a common positive type photoresist material is firstly obliquely exposed and then vertically exposed and then developed to form the electrode separator by the two exposure steps. The electrode separator has a first lateral vertical to the bottom side of the electrode separator and a second lateral cooperating with the surface of the substrate to create an acute angle with one end of the top side having an overhanging portion. When the second electrodes are deposited, the overhanging portions can separate the metallic film of the second electrodes, and the metallic film of each second electrode is confined to between two electrode separators. Thus, the objective of separating the second electrode is achieved.
