Junyi Li

Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm. Qualcomm Fellow. IEEE Fellow. Co-founder of Flarion Technologies. A pioneer of OFDMA.

Wireless systems may use an assistive node to relay signals between devices, mapping receive and transmit beams with different beamwidths to optimize communication.

Sony Akkarakaran

Senior Staff Engineer at Qualcomm.

A base station allocates periodic resources to two UEs => Sends postponement indications => UEs adjust monitoring times accordingly => First UE receives downlink traffic and relays it to the second UE at the adjusted times.

Mark I Gardner

Gardner earned his B.S. in Physics from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and an M.S. in Physics from the University of Maryland.

His career includes roles at Advanced Micro Devices, Texas Instruments, and Micron, focusing on microelectronics and device engineering.

Currently, Mark serves as a part-time physics professor at Austin Community College.

Patent 12324206 – Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing thereof.

Form fin with alternating layers => add dummy gate => deposit spacer => dope second layers for S/D => add dielectric => remove dummy gate => remove first layers => fill with metal to form gate.

Seunghwan Kim

LG Electronics VP (Head of Media Technologies).

A coding device signals whether in-loop filtering is allowed across virtual boundaries => enables efficient filter control.

Xin Zhao

Video codec research engineer at Apple.

Processing unit receives bitstream => gets initial fractional MV for MCP block using boundary block info => converts to final integer MV => reconstructs MCP block samples using final MV.

Seyed Ali Akbar Fakoorian

Cellular System & Standard Engineer at Apple.

A wireless device receives downlink data with a DMRS pattern => uses a neural network to estimate the channel and find the optimal DMRS pattern => reports the optimal pattern back to the network.

Chih-Han Lin

Lin received a B.S. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 2010, where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree with the Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering.

Lin was a Senior Engineer at HyPro Enterprise Company Ltd., Taoyuan, Taiwan, from 2013 to 2023.

Form first and dummy fins above isolation => build gate stack over both => recess fin to form cavity and lower dummy fin height => grow epitaxy region in cavity toward dummy fin.

Matthew Nirvan Sharifi

Software Engineer at Google.

A method adapts guest mode on a smart speaker by checking device state => disables guest mode if needed => on receiving a query, identifies the speaker => if not enrolled, suppresses the assistant’s response.

Rajesh Katkar

VP, Engineering and Discovery at Adeia.

A back side image sensor device is formed by bonding an image sensor wafer to a reconstituted wafer with a processor die, aligning dielectric layers at their surfaces. Variants include bonding to a sensor wafer or individual sensor die.

Brandon Wayne Miller

Principal Engineer at GE Aviation.

Gas turbine engine fuel system includes delivery, thermal management, and sensors => fuel control system adjusts parameters based on sensor data.

Benjamin J Haasl

R&D Mechanical Engineering Fellow at Boston Scientific.

An implantable device uses a ferrule to capacitively link the PCBA’s RF ground to the canister, improving telemetry performance at target frequencies.
