  • Publication number: 20250081730
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels such as light-emitting diode pixels. The pixels may include multiple circuitry decks that each include one or more circuit components such as transistors, capacitors, and/or resistors. The circuitry decks may be vertically stacked. Each circuitry deck may include a planarization layer formed from a siloxane material that conforms to underlying components and provides a planar upper surface. In this way, circuitry components may be vertically stacked to mitigate the size of each pixel footprint. The circuitry components may include capacitors that include both a high-k dielectric layer and a low-k dielectric layer. The display pixel may include a via with a width of less than 1 micron.

  • Patent number: 12238594
    Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) performing a handover procedure is disclosed. The method includes receiving a handover command from a network, in a case that a first information related to an offset time is included in the handover command, performing the handover procedure based on the handover command after the offset time, and in a case that a second information related to a configured area is included in the handover command, performing the handover procedure based on the handover command when the UE locating within the configured area.

  • Publication number: 20250056459
    Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for handling timing alignment is provided. The method receives, from a Base Station (BS), a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) message for configuring a Time Alignment Timer (TAT). The method receives, from the BS, a second RRC message for configuring at least one of a cell Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) operation or a cell Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation. In a case that at least one of the cell DTX operation or the cell DRX operation is configured and the TAT expires, the method considers the UE to be uplink synchronized with the BS and forgoes performing a procedure for handling an out-of-sync condition related to the expiration of the TAT.

  • Publication number: 20250048256
    Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for Network Energy Saving (NES) is provided. The method receives, from a Base Station (BS), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including an NES configuration. The method then determines whether to apply a cell Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) operation, a cell Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation, or both the cell DTX operation and the cell DRX operation based on the NES configuration.

  • Patent number: 12207154
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
