Abstract:
A method for a user equipment (UE) to synchronize with a first transmit-receive point (TRP) is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the UE, beam information of the first TRP from a second TRP(789); detecting, by the UE, a synchronization signal in a beam from the first TRP based on the beam information; transmitting, by the UE, a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to the first TRP to synchronize with the first TRP(790); where the first TRP operates in a first frequency, and the second TRP operates in a second frequency lower than the first frequency.
Abstract:
Described are methods and devices for the treatment of fecal matter. A column reactor is used to smolder fecal matter to produce and a volatile components stream and smoldered media. The volatile components stream may be subject to catalysis to reduce the emission of noxious substances and/or generate heat energy. Also described is the use of a turntable for removing smoldered media from the column reactor.
Abstract:
A method for forming conductive contacts in a dielectric layer is provided. Partial vias are etched into the dielectric layer through a via mask. Trenches are etched into the dielectric layer through a trench mask, wherein the etching the trenches completes and over etches the vias to widen bottoms of the vias. Tops of the trenches or vias are rounded.
Abstract:
An extract of Cynanchum sp. in use of arthritis treatment is provided. The extract of Cynanchum sp. and an active ingredient contained therein, antofine, are applicable to a method, pharmaceutical composition and dietary supplement for treatment of arthritis. A mass production of antofine from plant extracts is also provided.
Abstract:
A method to simulate distillation of a petroleum stream by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography including the step of separating said petroleum stream with a two-dimensional gas chromatograph to determine polarity as a function of temperature, and integrating vertically the two-dimensional gas chromatograph at a given temperature to determine signal intensity as a function of temperature.
Abstract:
A method for enhancing the efficiency of a rhenium-promoted epoxidation catalyst is provided. Advantageously, the method may be carried out in situ, i.e., within the epoxidation process, and in fact, may be carried out during production of the desired epoxide. As such, a method for the epoxidation of alkylenes incorporating the efficiency-enhancing method is also provided, as is a method for using the alkylene oxides so produced for the production of 1,2-diols, 1,2-carbonates, 1,2-diol ethers, or alkanolamines.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a linear wet system includes a carrier and a proximity head in a chamber. The proximity head includes three sections in a linear arrangement. The first section suctions liquid from the upper surface of a semiconductor wafer as the wafer is transported by the carrier under the proximity head. The second section is configured to cause a film (or meniscus) of cleaning foam which is a non-Newtonian fluid to flow onto the upper surface of the wafer. The third section is configured to cause a film of rinsing fluid to flow onto the upper surface of the wafer as the wafer is carried under the proximity head. The third section is defined partially around the second section and up to the first section, so that the third section and the first section create a confinement of the cleaning foam with respect to the chamber.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition for intranasal delivery of a drug comprising: (i) the drug; and (ii) a non-aqueous vehicle comprising (a) propylene glycol and at least one additional solvent selected from N-methylpyrrolidone, propylene carbonate, dimethyl sulfoxide and at least one propylene glycol fatty acid ester; (b) from about 40 to 100 % by volume of N- methylpyrrolidone; or (c) from about 40 to 100% by volume of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Abstract:
This invention relates to compositions and methods for fluid hydrocarbon product, and more specifically, to compositions and methods for fluid hydrocarbon product via catalytic pyrolysis. Some embodiments relate to methods for the production of specific aromatic products (e.g., benzene, toluene, naphthalene, xylene, etc.) via catalytic pyrolysis. Some such methods may involve the use of a composition comprising a mixture of a solid hydrocarbonaceous material and a heterogeneous pyrolytic catalyst component. In some embodiments, the mixture may be pyrolyzed at high temperatures (e.g., between 500 °C and 1000 °C). The pyrolysis may be conducted for an amount of time at least partially sufficient for production of discrete, identifiable biofuel compounds. Some embodiments involve heating the mixture of catalyst and hydrocarbonaceous material at high rates (e.g., from about 50 °C per second to about 1000 0C per second). The methods described herein may also involve the use of specialized catalysts. For example, in some cases, zeolite catalysts may be used; optionally, the catalysts used herein may have high silica to alumina molar ratios. In some instances, the composition fed to the pyrolysis reactor may have a relatively high catalyst to hydrocarbonaceous material mass ratio (e.g., from about 5: 1 to about 20:1).
Abstract:
