  • Publication number: 20240107414
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for switching a secondary cell to a primary cell. A user equipment (UE) monitors a first radio condition of the UE for beams of a primary cell and a second radio condition for beams of one or more secondary cells configured for the UE in carrier aggregation. The UE transmits a request to configure a candidate beam of at least one candidate secondary cell as a new primary cell in response to the first radio condition not satisfying a first threshold and the second radio condition for the at least one candidate secondary cell satisfying a second threshold. A base station determines to reconfigure at least one secondary cell as the new primary cell. The base station and the UE perform a handover of the UE to the new primary cell.

  • Publication number: 20240073378
    Abstract: A projection apparatus including a light source module, an eccentric-collimating lens, a prism lens group, a light valve and a projection lens is provided. The light source module is configured to provide an illumination light beam. The eccentric-collimating lens is disposed between the light sources and the light valve on a transmission path of the illumination light beam. The light valve is configured to convert the illumination light beam into an image light beam. The projection lens is configured to project the image light beam out of the projection apparatus. A first included angle between a first transmission direction of the illumination light beam incident on the eccentric-collimating lens and a central axis of the eccentric-collimating lens is greater than 0. The first transmission direction and a second transmission direction of the image beam exiting from the light valve are perpendicular to each other.

  • Publication number: 20240069425
    Abstract: An illumination system including two light source modules, two light guiding modules, a first reflector, and a light homogenization element is provided. The two light guiding modules are respectively disposed on transmission paths of light beams generated by the two light source modules to generate two guiding light beams. One of the guiding light beams is reflected to the light homogenization element by the first reflector. The other of the guiding light beams is directly transmitted to the light homogenization element. The guiding light beams are emitted from the light homogenization element and form an illumination light beam. A projection apparatus is also provided.
