Kangguo Cheng
Senior Technical Staff Member & Master Inventor at IBM.
Patent №: 12376503 – Phase change material including deuterium.
Hydrogen or deuterium in the phase change material (PCM) reduces defects. They passivate dangling bonds. This makes nucleation during the SET process easier.
Patent №: 12376369 – FinFET devices. Methods to prevent fin or gate collapse in FinFETs involve etching two sets of alternating trenches, filling them with insulator, then recessing the insulator to form stable fin structures.
Jing X Sun
System Engineer at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 12376153 – Signaling for channel occupancy time sharing in frame based equipment mode.
This disclosure covers FBE mode signaling for COT sharing. A device receives its COT role, checks for a signal at the frame boundary, and then sleeps, monitors, or communicates based on that.
Juan Montojo
VP, Engineering at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 12376186 – Techniques for radio access and sidelink discontinuous reception alignment.
One device shares its DRX settings over a sidelink. It receives misaligned sidelink DRX settings and may update or switch to new settings from the base station.
Patent №: 12376077 – Distributed sidelink resource allocation. A first device requests data resources from a second device. The second device may respond positively if available. A third device may object with a negative response.
Marine C Bataille
