  • Patent number: 12102762
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel designs of a nasal cannula device suitable for supplying a flow of respiratory gas to a user during respiratory therapy. In one design, the nasal cannula device includes a cannula body, and a base. The cannula body has a front, top, and rear sides, in which the rear side is substantially longer than the front side and flattens out at both ends in the form of a wing, and a tab extending out from the lower end of the rear side. At least one nasal joint tube extends out from the top side of the cannula body, and a first connecting member is formed on the tab. The base includes, an opening formed on the top of the base; two through holes respectively formed on the left and right ends of the base; and a second connecting member formed on the bottom of the base. The first and second connecting members are configured to engage with each other thereby enclosing the base within a space collectively defined by the front, top, and rear sides, and the tab of the cannula body.

  • Patent number: 12087084
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image sensing device and an image sensing method. The image sensing device comprises an image sensing array and an image processing circuit. The image sensing array obtains a first frame for a test object, and the first frame comprises a plurality of first pixel values. The image processing circuit analyzes the first frame, and generate an overexposure area for the first pixel values greater than a first threshold in the first frame. Then, the image sensor array obtains a second frame for the overexposure area, and the second frame comprises a plurality of second pixel values. The image processing circuit performs a detection processing on all the first pixel values in the first frame, which retains the first pixel values outside of the overexposure area in the first frame, and replaces the first pixel values in the overexposure area with the second pixel values.

  • Patent number: 12072236
    Abstract: A light sensing module includes a substrate, a light sensing unit, a first light-transmissive component, and a light shielding layer. The light sensing unit is disposed on the substrate to sense an intensity of a working light beam, and has an upper light receiving surface and a lateral surface perpendicular to the upper light receiving surface. The first light-transmissive component covers the light sensing unit, and has a first refractive index between a refractive index of the light sensing unit and a refractive index of air. The light shielding layer surrounds the lateral surface and is covered by the first light-transmissive component.

  • Patent number: 12058604
    Abstract: A method for a system information (SI) request procedure performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes: receiving a system information block type 1 (SIB1) from a cell; transmitting, to the cell, a first message including a common control channel (CCCH) service data unit (SDU) that includes a radio resource control (RRC) SI request message; receiving, from the cell, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including a UE contention resolution identity; and indicating, by a MAC entity of the UE, reception of an acknowledgment for the RRC SI request message to an RRC entity of the UE after determining that the UE contention resolution identity matches multiple consecutive bits, starting from the most significant bit (MSB), of the CCCH SDU. The SIB1 does not include information related to a Random Access (RA) resource specific to SI requested by the RRC SI request message.

  • Publication number: 20240244545
    Abstract: A method performed by a wireless communication device includes determining whether to transmit a first Sidelink Synchronization Signal (SLSS) according to a priority parameter when an occasion of the first SLSS collides with a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) that carries Sidelink Feedback Control Information (SFCI). The priority parameter is associated with a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) that corresponds to the PSFCH.

  • Publication number: 20240089608
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dynamic image generating method and a dynamic image sensor thereof. The dynamic image sensor includes a first exposure pixel, a second exposure pixel and an image processing module. The dynamic image sensor applies the dynamic image generating method, which generates the default short-exposure image signal by exposing the first exposure pixel for default short-exposure time, and exposing the second exposure pixel for default long-exposure time to generate the default long-exposure image signal. The image processing module confirms whether the default short-exposure image and the default long-exposure image signals are between the lower and upper limits of pinching.

  • Publication number: 20240089611
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of image fusion, which uses the brightness difference of the current frame and the previous frame to determine whether the pixel in a frame image is static or dynamic. If the current pixel is static, the previous corresponding pixel is superimposed onto the current pixel; if the current pixel is dynamic, the previous corresponding pixel is replaced with the current pixel.

  • Publication number: 20230319501
    Abstract: A method for providing better connecting signals is disclosed. Coordinates of multiple mobile terminals are obtained. Distances between a mobile Wi-Fi (MIFI) device and the mobile terminals are calculated according to received signal strength indicator (RSSI) values between the mobile terminals and the MIFI device, and a relative coordinate of the MIFI device is then calculated based on the distances. Unit vectors of the mobile terminals relative to the MIFI device are calculated according to the relative coordinate of the MIFI device and the coordinates of the mobile devices. Reference signal receiving power (RSRP) values of the mobile terminals are calculated and are multiplied by the unit vectors to obtain RSRP vectors of the mobile terminals. The RSRP vectors are added up to generate a position where the MIFI device moves to a base station.
