  • Publication number: 20240171343
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Wireless communications systems may support beamformed transmissions between devices (e.g., to improve coverage range). The beamformed transmissions may depend on discovery and maintenance of receive and transmit beams over which a given device may communicate with another device. Various receive and transmit beams for a given device may be compared using reference signals. As the number of devices attempting to access a cell increases, the number of reference signals to be transmitted may scale proportionally. Large numbers of reference signals may flood time-frequency resources of the system and/or require excessive processing at a mobile device. Scrambling sequences for reference signals may be employed to improve efficiency of resource usage. In aspects, the scrambling sequences may be implicitly determined (e.g., based on resources over which the access request was transmitted).

  • Publication number: 20240132924
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for two-phase partitioning production of a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) by dry anaerobic digestion. In the present disclosure, due to a slow heat transfer of the dry anaerobic digestion, a same dry anaerobic digestion device is naturally divided into two phases, and the MCFA is synthesized while producing electron acceptors and electron donors in the same dry anaerobic digestion device. Meanwhile, the dry anaerobic digestion device is provided with a high-efficiency decomposing microbial inoculant on an upper part and inoculated with sludge having a carbon chain extension function on a lower part. In this way, a material residence time is regulated, and cycles of hydrolytic acidification and carbon chain extension are shortened, thereby achieving the high-value conversion of agricultural waste while increasing a conversion rate of organic acids in the dry anaerobic digestion.
