  • Patent number: 11219949
    Abstract: Provided is a method for promoting densification of a metal body by utilizing metal expansion induced by hydrogen absorption. The hydrogen absorption expansion refers to a volume expansion effect produced by absorbing hydrogen on some metal blocks or metal powder in a hydrogen atmosphere under certain temperature conditions. Hydrogen is introduced into a rigid closed mold filled with a hydrogen absorption expansion material or filled with the hydrogen absorption expansion material and a material to be densified, and the mold and/or the material to be densified are/is densified by using the volume expansion effect of the hydrogen absorption expansion material. The present method may be used for eliminating residual pores from a metal material so as to improve the properties of the material.

  • Publication number: 20220007281
    Abstract: An electronic device (such as an access point) may provide a management frame, intended for at least a recipient electronic device, that includes slotted-operation information corresponding to a power-save mode of the electronic device for communication with at least the recipient electronic device. The slotted-operation information may include a sequence of temporal slots and associated channel information for the temporal slots. When a channel for a temporal slot comprises a null value, the power-save mode may include transitioning the electronic device into a lower-power-consumption mode during the temporal slot. Alternatively, when a channel for a temporal slot is different than a null value, the power-save mode may include performing another activity than communicating with the recipient electronic device during the temporal slot.

  • Patent number: 11219078
    Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

  • Patent number: 11209411
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing stability of an active pharmaceutical agent. In certain aspects, the methods involve obtaining an active pharmaceutical agent, and distributing the active pharmaceutical agent into one or more microdroplets. The one or more microdroplets including the active pharmaceutical agent are then subjected to one or more conditions that force degradation of the active pharmaceutical agent in each of the one or more microdroplets. The one or more microdroplets are then analyzed to determine a ratio of the active pharmaceutical agent to that of a degradation product of the active pharmaceutical agent, thereby analyzing stability of an active pharmaceutical agent.

  • Patent number: 11210136
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose systems and methods of an operating system module for a data processing accelerator (DPA). The operating system module can schedule jobs and manage resources (e.g., computing units, memory, IO bandwidth) of the DPA. For one embodiment, a system receives a request, by a DPA, the request sent by an application to execute a data processing task. The system schedules, by an operating system module of the DPA, one or more commands based on one or more kernels to complete the data processing task. The system generates, by the operating system module of the DPA, a completion signal upon completion of the one or more scheduled commands. The system sends a result back to the application acknowledging completion of the one or more commands for the data processing task based on the completion signal.

  • Patent number: 11212806
    Abstract: One or more wireless stations operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A wireless station may determine a further availability window schedule for a first time period, including specifying availability for particular channels at particular time slots at a first time slot increment. The wireless station may specify availability at a second time slot increment for a subset of the time slots specified at the first time slot increment. The second time slot increment may be less than the first slot time increment. The wireless station may negotiate, with a neighboring wireless station, a peer-to-peer communication schedule for the peer-to-peer communication application based on the further availability window schedule, including specifying a portion of the peer-to-peer schedule using the second time slot increment.

  • Publication number: 20210392579
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Bluetooth mesh network system having power management mechanism that includes low power nodes and a friend node. The friend node operates a part of the low power nodes under a first connection mode to establish a one-to-one connection with the friend node under a connection protocol. The friend node operates the other part of the low power nodes under a second connection mode to establish a many-to-one connection based on a broadcast protocol. The friend node sets a mode operation time threshold value and accumulates a mode connection time for each of the low power nodes. When the mode connection time of one of the low power nodes that operates under one of the first connection mode and the second connection mode reaches the corresponding mode operation time threshold value, the one of the low power nodes switches to operate under the other one of the first connection mode and the second connection mode.

  • Patent number: 11196822
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a service acceleration method, system, apparatus, and server in an NFV system. For achieving these, a programmable package determining entity in the NFV system can determine a target service function that needs to be accelerated. A target programmable package corresponding to the target service function that needs to be accelerated can be obtained and the target programmable package to an acceleration engine in a network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) can be sent. The acceleration engine runs the target programmable package to accelerate the target service function that needs to be accelerated. A programmable package of the acceleration engine can thus be dynamically replaced, and a service diversity requirement can be met, thereby improving scalability of a service acceleration function in the NFV system.
