This disclosure relates to wireless communication where a first user equipment (UE) receives an indication of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for providing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a sidelink data transmission from a second UE, and then transmits the HARQ feedback on the PUCCH resource.

In 2008, he joined IBM Research, Albany, NY, as a Research Staff Member. Since then, he has been working on advanced logic CMOS research, focusing on FINFET technology, especially FEOL integration, metal gate process, process assumptions, DTCO, and future technology node definitions.

Patent №: 12009395 (June 11, 2024) – Self-aligned block for vertical FETs. A vertical FET includes a channel fin between bottom and top source/drain (S/D) regions, a gate on the fin’s sidewall, top metallization on the top S/D region, and contact metallization connected to both the gate and bottom S/D region. Vertical liners separate the gate from the first contact and the top metallization from the second contact. Fabrication uses a self-aligned block to prevent gate-to-gate shorting during processing.

Patent №: 12008355 (June 11, 2024) – System and method for generating a specialized upgrade notification based on client intent for an application abstention. A method for managing a client environment includes analyzing a client device’s notification of application abstention, determining reasons using intent analysis, comparing these reasons to an upgrade dataset, identifying solutions, and issuing a specialized upgrade notification to the client device.

Patent №: 12008025 (June 11, 2024) – Method and system for augmenting a question path graph for technical support. A method for managing a technical support session includes determining a technical support issue, identifying a related question path graph, and displaying part of the graph to the support person during the session.

Patent №: 12007982 (June 11, 2024) – Method and system for identifying and deleting records on hosts. A system for identifying and deleting host records involves a local data manager that identifies discovery events, retrieves and compares records, tags unmatched records with a soft delete tag, and notifies a data manager of any modifications.

Patent №: 12007955 (June 11, 2024) – System and method for analyzing file system data using a virtual file system generated using a metadata backup. A method for managing data includes a file system metadata manager obtaining a data access request from an analytics engine, retrieving a metadata backup, extracting file system metadata, generating a virtual file system, and providing it to the analytics engine for analysis.

Patent №: 12007946 (June 11, 2024) – Systems and methods for managing path and file names using a universal connector. A method for writing a file to a NAS server includes a universal connector in user space receiving a write request, allocating a dynamic buffer larger than the filename, sending a system limitation request to the NAS server, receiving system limitations, validating the filename against these limitations, and sending the write request to the NAS server.

Patent №: 12007853 (June 11, 2024) – Clustered asset backup in non-federated way. In one or more embodiments, a cluster manager determines which data node should perform a backup by running a pre-backup step to identify the preferred node. Upon receiving a backup request, the cluster manager queries this node. If still optimal, the node performs the backup; if not, it signals the cluster manager with an alternative, which then performs the backup.

Patent №: 12007852 (June 11, 2024) – Systems and methods for backing up clustered and non-clustered data. A cluster manager runs a pre-backup step to identify the preferred data node. Upon receiving a backup request, it queries this node; if optimal, the node performs the backup. If not, the node signals an alternative, which then performs the backup.

Patent №: 12007851 (June 11, 2024) – Differential checksum validation. A configuration file specifies a percentage of data to validate. A synthetic full backup on cloud storage, created by merging changed blocks from an incremental backup with a previous backup, is accessed. A bitmap of changed block locations is examined to identify a region from the first to the last changed block. This region is divided into portions, and each portion is validated by randomly selecting blocks until the validated data reaches the specified percentage of the incremental backup size divided by the number of portions.

Patent №: 12007850 (June 11, 2024) – Method and system for generating backup of a large file and optimizing resource utilization. A method for performing data backup includes receiving a backup request for a file in shared storage. In response, the primary data node retrieves file properties, determines resource availability of secondary data nodes, divides the file into segments, and coordinates the backup using these segments and the resource availability of the secondary data nodes.

Patent №:12007849 (June 11, 2024) – System and method for securing instant access of data in file based backups in a backup storage system using metadata files. A method for managing file-based backups includes enabling application access to a portion of the FBB, notifying the cyber sense device, providing the storage location, receiving a security event notification, and performing a security action.

Patent №: 12007847 (June 11, 2024) – Reporting for database backups. A method for reporting database backup information includes starting a monitor process, generating a flag file with the parent process ID (PID), associating a second child process with the monitor process using the PID, receiving channel close alerts, determining the success of backup jobs in both channels, and transmitting a backup success report to a backup coordinator.

Patent №: 12007845 (June 11, 2024) – Method and system for managing data slice backups based on grouping prioritization. A method for backing up a file system includes identifying a backup event, obtaining a snapshot and slice list, prioritizing slice groups, distributing backup jobs to proxy hosts based on priority, initiating backup jobs, and adding any remaining slice groups to a queue.

Patent №: 12008119 (June 11, 2024) – Intelligent voice assistant privacy regulating system. An intelligent voice assistant privacy system includes a controller with a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor executes instructions to: receive user-selected privacy settings limiting data transmission from the voice assistant and regulate transmissions accordingly.
