  • Patent number: 11947197
    Abstract: A wearable optical device increases a Resolvable Object Distance Range (RODR) thereby reducing focusing demands of a plurality of objects located along a visual angle distance for a user with presbyopia or myopia. The devise includes a negative refractive element and a positive refractive element located along an optical axis. The negative refractive element and the positive refractive element are separated from each other by a separation space and at a separation distance suitable for mounting on a spectacle. A surface of a non-central zone of the negative refractive element or the positive refractive element is a Fresnel surface. The separation space is filled by an intermediate media with a refractive index lower than that of the negative refractive element or the positive refractive element. In one embodiment, the intermediate media is an optical grade resin or polymer.

  • Publication number: 20240107534
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) or a base station may be configured to indicate that a transmission occasion is empty while operating in a full-duplex mode. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication that an uplink transmission occasion (for example, a configured grant transmission occasion) will not be used by the UE for transmitting an uplink communication. In some other examples, the base station may transmit, to the UE, an indication a downlink transmission occasion (for example, semi-persistent scheduling transmission occasion) will not be used by the base station for transmitting a downlink communication. If uplink or downlink transmission occasions are empty, the UE and the base station may each update parameters to operate in a half-duplex mode.

  • Patent number: 11943795
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support identification or determination of a common default beam for a component carrier (CC) group (e.g., such that all CCs of a CC group may be associated with a same default beam). For example, a CC group may be configured or established to include one or more CCs (e.g., for carrier aggregation), where each CC group may share a same analog beamformer. As such, a beam (e.g., a default uplink/downlink beam) may be established as default or common across CCs of a CC group (e.g., versus default beams being configured or established for individual CCs). Such an established default beam of a CC group (e.g., a default beam common to all CCs of a CC group) may include or refer to a default downlink shared channel beam, a default sounding reference signal (SRS) beam, a default downlink control channel beam, etc.
