Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to satisfy an uplink transmission power criterion, such as a specific absorption rate (SAR). The UE may be scheduled to transmit a first uplink message via a first frequency band and a second uplink message via a second frequency band. The UE perform power scaling on the first frequency band and the second frequency band to satisfy the uplink transmission power criterion. For example, the UE may select a first transmission power level for transmitting the first uplink message and a second transmission power level for transmitting the second uplink message based on a function of UE transmission power level over a preceding time interval. The UE may perform uplink power aggregation techniques to temporarily boost transmit power while satisfying the uplink transmission power criterion.

Abstract: A method for testing burning performance of a dark-colored cigarette using a dark-colored cigarette paper is provided. The dark-colored cigarette paper has a grayscale less than 255. The method includes: simulating, by a robotic arm, a cigarette smoking process and environment; acquiring, by a full-vision camera system, an image of a burn line and ash column region of the dark-colored cigarette; and analyzing a burning performance indicator of the dark-colored cigarette according to coordinate information of the burn line and ash column region. The method is based on a surface reflection characteristic of the dark-colored cigarette paper and a principle of optical reflection to light and highlight an edge of the dark-colored cigarette sample by a light source at a certain angle from a side. In this way, the method forms a chromatic aberration to localize the dark-colored cigarette sample, thereby testing the burning performance of the dark-colored cigarette sample.

Abstract: Methods for producing glass articles from glass tube includes securing a glass tube in a holder of a converter; rotating the glass tube; and passing the glass tube through processing stations, which include at least a heating station and a forming station, to form one or more features at a working end of the glass tube. An active time is an amount of time the glass tube is engaged with a heating element or a forming tool while in a processing station, and an exposure index for the processing station is the rotational speed of the glass tube multiplied by a number of heating elements or forming tools in the processing station multiplied by the active time. An absolute difference between the exposure index and a nearest integer is less than or equal to 0.30, which reduces temperature and dimensional inhomogeneity around a circumference of the glass tube.
