Centurion+ Patent Holders as of March 19, 2024

Welcome to the 19th of March 2024: Our goal is to celebrate the patent holders who have reached noteworthy milestones in their fields this week.

Wooseok Nam

Mr. Nam received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2002, 2004, and 2009, respectively.

in 2009 Wooseok was an intern at Qualcomm Technolo-gies, Inc., San Diego, California. In 2010, he was a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at KAIST. He was also with Lumicomm R&D Center, Republic of Korea, in 2010, as a technical advisor.

From 2011 to 2013, Nam was with Samsung Mobile Solutions Lab, San Diego. Since 2013, he has been with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., San Diego, as a staff engineer.

His research interests include network information theory, adaptive signal processing, and digital modem design.

Patent №: 11937197 (March 19, 2024) – Techniques for using a synchronization signal block for measurements. Wireless communication systems now support various synchronization signal block (SSB) types for management procedures. Base stations can transmit smaller SSBs of a second type compared to the original SSBs. These smaller SSBs include a subset of signals, excluding others. They’re transmitted in active bandwidth regions for UE communication. UEs receive, measure, and execute management procedures using these smaller SSBs.

Rajat Prakash

Mr. Prakash received the B.Tech. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

Rajat is currently with the Wireless Research and Development Group, Qualcomm. He has previously worked on small cells, self-organizing networks, neutral host, VoLTE, and VoWiFi technologies, and participated in several standards setting organizations.

His current research interests include 5G-enabled disaggregated RAN, Industry 4.0, and digital twin technologies.

Patent №: 11937196 (March 19, 2024) – Wireless communication enhancements for transparent and boundary. A node receives a precision time protocol (PTP) message, identifies supported timing domains based on this message, and sends indicators to other nodes. Another node receives indicators from additional nodes, receives PTP messages, and forwards them to specific nodes based on timing domain support indicators.

Patent №: 11937144 (March 19, 2024) – Cooperative user equipment switching. Two devices can merge into a virtual device for communication with a radio access network, appearing as a single entity. When a third device is chosen to replace the second, handover procedures are initiated, including beam management, random access, and mobility management procedures.

Gholamreza Chaji

Being involved as an inventor, writer, reviewer, and manager of intellectual property

Patent №: 11935478 (March 19, 2024) – AMOLED displays with multiple readout circuits. To extract the OLED voltage of a selected pixel, first, the pixel is programmed so that its current is not dependent on the OLED voltage. Then, it’s programmed again so that the current is OLED voltage-dependent. By adjusting the programming voltage during the second stage to match the initial pixel current, the difference between the two programming voltages yields the OLED voltage.

Clarence Chui

Senior Vice President and General Manager of Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc.

Patent №: 11935193 (March 19, 2024) – Automated mesh generation. Center curves of an object’s outline are determined. For each point on these curves, pairs of rays are cast in opposite directions, colliding with the outline’s sides. Collision pairs are created from these collisions, forming lines between collision points. A mesh model is then generated by mapping these collision pairs to polygons defining the mesh.
