  • Patent number: 10908653
    Abstract: A hinge mechanism is provided, including a fixed member, a rotary member pivotally connected to the fixed member, a pin, a first gear set, and a second gear set. The first and second gear sets are connected to the fixed member and the rod and respectively have a teeth-uncompleted gear. When the rotary member rotates relative to the fixed member from an initial angle to a first angle, the first gear set drives the pin to rotate in a first direction. When the rotary member further rotates relative to the fixed member from the first angle to a second angle, the second gear set drives the ping to rotate in a second direction, which is the opposite of the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20200322097
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a downlink slot as scheduled using a downlink control indicator (DCI). The UE identifies that the downlink slot is part of a group of downlink slots based on the DCI and/or another DCI corresponding to the group. The UE identifies one or more uplink slots at which to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback corresponding to the slots in the group, and transmits the HARQ feedback at one of these uplink slots. If HARQ feedback is not received, a semi-static codebook may prevent HARQ payload size misalignment.
