Abstract: An aircraft power system includes an internal combustion core engine where an inlet airflow is mixed with a fuel and ignited to generate shaft power and a primary gas flow, a boost combustor where a portion of the primary gas flow from the core engine is combined with fuel and ignited to generate a boosted gas flow, and a drive turbine that includes a drive output shaft wherein the boosted gas flow is expanded to generate shaft power.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine at least one of a downlink path loss value or an uplink path loss value associated with a base station; receive system information, a semi-persistently configured grant via RRC or a dynamic uplink grant via DCI from the base station, wherein the RRC signaling or the dynamic uplink grant identifies a power control value associated with one user or a plurality of users associated with the base station; and determine a transmit power for a data or control transmission based at least in part on at least one of the downlink path loss value or the uplink path loss value and the power control value. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A company may implement automated workflows for convenience of users or to reduce support costs. For example, allowing a user to change an address using an automated workflow may be faster or less expensive than with a human agent. In some instances, a first communications session may be started between a first user and a second user. During the first communications session, one or more communications may be processed to select an intent of the first user and a value of an information item communicated by the first user. An automated workflow may be selected to continue assisting the first user, and the first user may be transferred to a second communications session with the automated workflow. The automated workflow may be initialized with the value of the information item that was provided during the first communications session so that the first user does not need to repeat information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a mapping between synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) and a random access message of a two-step random access procedure based on an indication in system information signaling or radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The random access message may include a random access preamble and a random access payload. The UE may determine, based on the mapping, an association between one or more beams carrying the SSBs and one or more additional beams carrying the random access preamble and the random access payload of the random access message. As a result, the UE may perform the two-step random access procedure with a base station according to the beam association, and coexist with a four-step random access procedure in a more reliable and efficient manner.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that an uplink control information (UCI) payload satisfies a threshold size condition. The UE may map the UCI payload to an uplink control sequence. The UE may transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that include the uplink control sequence to a base station. The uplink control sequence may be representative of the UCI payload. The base station may receive the PUCCH that includes the uplink control sequence from the UE. The base station may also determine the UCI payload by associating the uplink control sequence with a corresponding sequence index of the one or more sets of uplink control sequences.

Abstract: A turbine engine assembly includes a turbine section including at plurality of turbine stages through which the gas flow expands to generate a mechanical power output. An inter-turbine burner between at least two of the plurality of turbine stages reheats the gas flow. A condenser extracts water from the gas flow exhausted from the turbine section, and an evaporator heats the water extracted by the condenser to generate a steam flow with the steam flow communicated to the inter-turbine burner and added to the gas flow expanded through the turbine section.

Abstract: An implantable embolic device having a stretch-resistant member passing therethrough that also serves as a tether for connecting the device to a delivery system. The stretch-resistant member is attached at a proximal and distal end of the device and extends proximally to the delivery device. The proximal attachment point serves to isolate a distal, stretch resisting segment of the member from axial tension placed on a proximal, connecting section of the member. Thus, the portion of the stretch-resistant member being used to connect the embolic device to a delivery device may be placed under tension without placing tension or distorting the implant.

Abstract: Propulsion systems for aircraft include a fan and a low pressure turbine operably coupled to a first shaft, a low pressure compressor and an intermediate pressure turbine operably coupled to a second shaft, and a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine operably coupled to a third shaft. A burner is arranged between the high pressure compressor and the high pressure turbine, with a main flow path defined through the propulsion system. A hydrogen fuel system is configured to supply hydrogen fuel to the burner. A condenser is arranged along the main flow path and configured to extract water from exhaust from the burner. An evaporator is arranged along the main flow path and configured to receive a portion of the water to generate steam which is injected into the main flow path upstream from the evaporator.

Abstract: Disclosed are electronic, plasmonic and opto-electronic components that are prepared using patterned photodeposited nanoparticles on a substrate surface. Also disclosed are ferroelectric nanolithography methods for preparing components, circuits and devices.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved system and method for enabling the selection and configuration of furniture/room layout for temporary housing/residencies, which overcomes some of the drawbacks in the prior art systems and methods. For purposes of illustrating the inventive concept, the present invention is described using the example of university housing/residency services, more particularly, in the Internet environment. In one embodiment of the present invention, students of universities have the freedom to design the layout and finishes of their future housing rooms before they set foot on campus. Users can design their room into a virtual reality model via a service provider's Internet web site. In there they can change the room finishes, move the furniture into different configurations, and incorporate appliances and personal items into the room design. Users can also take a tour of their virtual room through pre-defined viewpoints or a free-form walk through.
