Abstract: The packer system includes a packer mandrel, an upper support or gage ring, a seal member, an upper slip device, an upper cone, a lower cone, a lower slip device, a setting sleeve, and a setting piston. The seal member has a run-in position and a set position. The set position seals against a borehole at a location in a borehole. The setting sleeve has a bypass position to transfer load of the setting piston away from the lower slip device and to the lower cone, the seal member, and the upper cone to set the seal member and upper slip device before the lower slip device. The setting sleeve has a released position to separate from the setting piston so that the load of the setting piston can finally be applied on the lower slip device for expansion of the lower slip device at the proper time and location.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support cellular communications (e.g., Uu signaling) in a first frequency range and may support sidelink communications in a second, higher frequency range. To reduce the processing overhead and latency involved in sidelink discovery in the second frequency range, the UE may use Uu signaling in the first frequency range to assist with the sidelink discovery. For example, the UE may determine, based on a configuration, an uplink message supporting UE detection in the first frequency range to support sidelink discovery. The UE may monitor for the uplink message in the first frequency range and may detect a second UE based on the monitoring. The UEs may establish a sidelink connection for sidelink communications in the second frequency range based on the detection of the second UE in the first frequency range.

Abstract: Inform a master node about the feasible of secondary node cells during resumption of dual connectivity may require a large message. Additionally, the message may need to be encrypted. A solution to overcome the size and security limitation is to report a short identifier (or index) which is only shared between the UE and the MN. Accordingly, an apparatus, e.g., a UE, may be configured to receive, from a master node, a configuration comprising a mapping of cell identities for a plurality of secondary cells for reporting SN measurements and transmitting an SN report comprising measurements for at least a subset of the plurality of secondary cells using the mapping of cell identities. The apparatus may be configured to receive, from a first master node, a configuration for MN-DC, enter an inactive state or an idle state, and resume a connected state with a second master node.

Abstract: A relay user equipment (UE) can relay communication between remote UEs and a network entity via one or more remote device end-to-end (E2E) radio bearers (RB s) established between the network entity and the remote UEs. The remote device E2E radio bearers can be multiplexed into one or more logical channel between the relay UE and the network entity. The relay UE and/or the network entity can allocate communication resources to the remote UEs in consideration of the E2E bearer quality of service (QoS) requirement using, for example, logical channel prioritization at the relay UE and/or different buffer status reports that can provide information on the remote UEs and E2E bearers to facilitate the allocation of resources.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for hydrate-based wastewater treatment and cold storage. The apparatus for hydrate-based wastewater treatment and cold storage includes a water chilling unit, a hydrate-based cold storage tank, an airflow disturbance device, a water layer positioning system, a spraying system, a suction filtration system, a heat exchange system, and a system monitoring device.

The airflow disturbance device induces hydrate nucleation. The water layer positioning system positions a contact surface between a water layer and a hydrate former after hydrate decomposition to facilitate drawing and separation of the treated upper water layer. The spraying system and the suction filtration system enhance the solid-liquid separation efficiency to improve the removal rate of pollutants.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configuration for multiple sets of prioritization parameters for a random access channel (RACH) procedure. A first set of prioritization parameters of the multiple sets of prioritization parameters may be associated with a higher priority network slice than the other sets of prioritization parameters (e.g., than the remaining sets of prioritization parameters). The UE may detect a trigger to perform a RACH procedure and select the first set of prioritization parameters for the RACH procedure based on the first set of prioritization parameters being associated with the higher priority network slice. The UE may perform the RACH procedure for the network slice according to the first set of prioritization parameters.
