Dr. Kim received the B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, in 1984 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Korea, in 1987 and 1991, respectively.
Patent №: 12374295 – Stage circuit and display device including the same.
A stage circuit has an output unit and two drivers. The first connects to power, clock, and input. The second controls node voltage using a transistor, a control transistor, and a capacitor linked to the clock.
Chubing Peng
Technologist at Seagate Technology.
Patent №: 12374357 – Heat-assisted magnetic recording head with a solid immersion mirror.
A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a near-field transducer, waveguide, and a solid immersion mirror made of high-temperature metal (≥1500 °C). The mirror enhances optical focus and durability near the media-facing surface.
Lalith Kumar
Architect at Samsung, 3GPP SA2 Delegate.
Patent №: 12376180 – Wireless network and methods to maintain MA PDU session at NSACF.
In a 5G/6G system, the SMF detects an MA PDU session from a UE signal and notifies the NSACF to maintain accurate session tracking.
Patent №: 12375987 – Method and apparatus for improvements in and relating to management of a disaster condition in a mobile communication system. A terminal in a 5G/6G system sends a registration request for disaster roaming, including its capabilities. It then requests emergency service via a second network. After the emergency ends, it reselects a cell to return to the first network.
