Aruna Zhamu
Co-Founder and CTO at Nanotek Instruments and at Global Graphene Group.
Co-Founder and President at Angstron Materials Inc.
Patent №: 11772975 (October 3, 2023) –Chemical-free production of graphene materials.
This outlines an energy-efficient method of directly producing isolated graphene sheets from a graphitic material. This process eliminates the need for chemical intercalation or oxidation, resulting in a faster, environmentally benign, and highly scalable manufacturing process.
Seyedkianoush Hosseini
Systems Engineer, 6G R&D, at Qualcomm.
Patent №: 11777560 (October 3, 2023) –Techniques for multiple feedback transmissions per slot in wireless communications. This patent introduces a novel approach to increase the capacity of slots within wireless communications. By partitioning these slots into virtual mini-slots, wireless devices can transmit multiple feedback transmissions simultaneously, leading to improved transmission efficiency and overall network performance.
Patent №: 11777577 (October 3, 2023) – Channel state reporting for sidelink communications.
This outlines methods, systems, and devices that optimize wireless communications between two devices.
By utilizing channel measurements and advanced algorithms, this technology enables efficient and accurate channel state information reporting, thereby enhancing the performance of wireless networks.
Patent №: 11778590 (October 3, 2023) –Techniques for selecting a sidelink sensing mode based on duplex mode.
Patent №: 11778572 (October 3, 2023) – Lite SL-SS (sidelink synchronization signal) transmission for on demand S-SSB (sidelink synchronization signal block).
Patent №: 11777671 (October 3, 2023) – Repetition techniques for autonomous uplink transmissions.
This describes improvements in wireless communication for devices like smartphones. It involves a base station telling a device (UE) how to send data on the network. The instructions include the first time to send data and when to retry if there are issues. These retries are made more reliable by choosing specific time slots and avoiding conflicts with other devices’ transmissions. The goal is to make wireless communication more efficient and reliable.
Patent №: 11778629 (October 3, 2023) –Techniques for determining resource assignments for decode and forward relaying via downlink control information.
Patent №: 11778617 (October 3, 2023) –Multiplexing uplink control information on uplink shared channel transmissions.
Patent №: 11778610 (October 3, 2023) – Framework for simultaneous PUCCH/PUSCH transmissions and intra-UE multiplexing.
Hwan-Joon Kwon
EVP, Head of 6G R&D at Samsung.
He received his B.E. degree and M.S. degree in electrical communications engineering from Hanyang University, Seoul, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, San Diego.
Patent №: 11778631 (October 3, 2023) –Transmission of group common PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) for NR (new radio).
This patent addresses techniques that enable efficient transmission and reception of group common PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) for NR (New Radio). By employing intelligent circuitry, user equipment (UE) can process higher-layer signaling to configure slot formats and decode Downlink Control Information (DCI) messages. This innovation fosters enhanced flexibility and reliability in wireless communications.
Chen Zhang
IBM Research.
Dr. Zhang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering both from Tsinghua University and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2015 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Where he worked on III-V nanowire material growth and nanowire transistors. Upon graduation, he received the Gregory Stillman Semiconductor Research Award from ECE at UIUC.
Dr. Zhang joined IBM Research in 2015 and has been working on various aspects of exploratory CMOS devices.
He is an IBM Master Inventor.
Patent №: 11777034 (October 3, 2023) – Hybrid complementary field effect transistor device.
This patent introduces a stacked transistor design. This innovative configuration comprises a nanosheet transistor device on a substrate, combined with a fin field-effect transistor device positioned over the nanosheet transistor. This arrangement allows for perpendicular current flow through the fin field-effect transistor device, enhancing performance and functionality.
