Xiaoxia Zhang

Dr. at Qualcomm Incorporated.

Patent №: 12063689 (August 13, 2024) – Methods and apparatus for supporting positioning in idle or inactive mode. A User Equipment (UE) in Idle or Inactive mode transmits positioning signals using pre-configured Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resources, including Timing Adjustment (TA) and uplink (UL) spatial filters. These configurations can be updated by the base station and are monitored for validity. For better accuracy, the UE may use a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) with a long sequence for positioning

Patent №: 12063684 (August 13, 2024) – Uplink (UL) to downlink (DL) channel occupancy time (COT) sharing with scheduled UL in new radio-unlicensed (NR-U). Wireless communication systems allow sharing of Channel Occupancy Time (COT) for uplink and downlink transmissions in a shared frequency spectrum. A device uses an extended clear channel assessment (eCCA) to manage and share COT for communication.

Patent №: 12063683 (August 13, 2024) – Modulation and coding schemes for high band wireless communications. Methods and systems for wireless communication allow a user equipment (UE) to transmit a random access message using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the frequency band and subcarrier spacing. The MCS may be determined by the UE or indicated by the base station.

Patent №: 12063673 (August 13, 2024) – Linking search space sets for physical downlink control channel repetitions. Wireless communication methods allow linking multiple search space sets for PDCCH repetition. A user equipment (UE) receives a configuration from the base station, associates, and monitors PDCCH candidates from different search spaces, then combines and decodes them as needed.

Patent №: 12063656 (August 13, 2024) – URLLC indications with multi-transmission grants. A user equipment (UE) receives control information for high-priority transmissions and applies parameters to resolve collisions with lower-priority transmissions.

Patent №: 12063647 (August 13, 2024) – Power efficient monitoring for semi-persistent scheduling occasions on multiple component carriers. This patent describes how a user equipment (UE) manages downlink transmission duplication across multiple component carriers with semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). The UE monitors specific carriers for scheduled SPS based on this duplication.

Patent №: 12063639 (August 13, 2024) – Cross-subband power reservation signal. This is a method where a first UE receives a reservation message from a second UE and then transmits a power signal before communicating with a third UE on a different subband within the reserved time.

Patent №: 12063114 (August 13, 2024) – Acknowledgment feedback techniques in shared radio frequency spectrum. This disclosure describes a method where a user equipment (UE) provides group or one-shot ACK/NACK feedback for downlink transmissions to a base station. The base station may request partial feedback, and the UE can combine regular and one-shot feedback reports, with the final transmission included based on scheduling or feedback timing.

Julian Hoenig

Julian is an Austrian Designer. He started his career at Audi where he has been leading projects like the Audi RSQ, Audi A4, and the Q3. He has also been in the design team of the Audi R8 Les Mans concept.

Following one year at Lamborghini Julian moved to California to join the Apple Design Team. At Apple he had the chance to work on many iconic products.

Julian has been the lead designer of Apple Watch and projects yet to be released.

From 2019 his focus has been building a company, Design Advisory roles and private equity investments between the Bay Area and Europe.

Patent №: D1038947 (August 13, 2024) – Stylus.

Patent №: D1038946 (August 13, 2024) – Pencil.

Patent №: D1038932 (August 13, 2024) – Electronic device.

Patent №: D1038810 (August 13, 2024) – Wearable device.

Patent №: D1038770 (August 13, 2024) – Product display unit.

Hans A Hansen

New Plant Development at Walters Gardens Inc.

Patent №: PP36070 (August 13, 2024) – Xplant named ‘Touch of Frost’. The ‘Touch of Frost’ plant has a compact form, slow growth, and lance-shaped leaves with blue-green edges, chartreuse centers, and creamy-white borders. It’s ideal as a houseplant, patio container, or garden plant.

Patent №: PP36069 (August 13, 2024) – Plant named ‘Aztec Treasure’. The ‘Aztec Treasure’ plant features large, glaucous-green leaves with creamy-yellow edges that arch outward as they age. The foliage develops purplish-red spots that deepen with UV light. It’s suitable for gardens or as a potted plant indoors or outdoors.
