  • Publication number: 20230415234
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the technical field of shape memory alloys and additive manufacturing, and discloses a NiTiHf high temperature shape memory alloy with two-way shape memory effect and a 4D printing method and application thereof. The 4D printing method includes alloy powder processing, model building and substrate preheating, and 4D printing forming. The present invention patent is based on the design concept of reducing thermal gradient and the environmental friendly concept of clean production. It adopts substrate preheating combined with low laser power and low scanning speed laser powder bed fusion technology or low preheating temperature electron beam powder bed fusion technology to improve the formed alloy. The lattice compatibility with the NiTi substrate reduces the residual stress of the formed sample, and produces no cracks, no obvious holes, density ?99%, high phase transformation temperature, excellent tensile mechanical properties and two-way shape memory effect.

  • Patent number: 11589410
    Abstract: A method executed by a User Equipment (UE) supporting Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) with a first cell group and a second cell group in a mobile communication system is provided. The UE configures a primary path to the first cell group and a secondary path to the second cell group for uplink transmissions in an MR-DC operation. The UE determines whether the primary path is inapplicable when performing the uplink transmissions on the primary path. The UE switches from the primary path to the secondary path to continue the uplink transmissions in response to the primary path being inapplicable.
