Abstract: Disclosed are a traffic transmission method and device, the method being performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a non-access point (AP) STA of the present invention can receive, from an AP, a trigger frame triggering the transmission of a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). The trigger frame includes information indicating at least one traffic identifier (TID) that is allowed to be transmitted in a target wake time (TWT) period. The TWT period may indicate a period in which the transmission of traffic for the at least one TID having a specific transmission condition is allowed, and the transmission of traffic not having the specific transmission condition is restricted. Thereafter, the non-AP STA transmits a PPDU, including the traffic corresponding to the at least one TID, to the AP within the TWT period.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a soil remediation device and method. Soil is remediated by (i) introducing hot air at 550-650° C. from an outlet of an air heater into the drum from a circulating hot air inlet of a discharge end fixed hood and transferring heat with the soil by direct countercurrent contact such that the soil is heated, and (ii) releasing heat from a heat accumulator at a bottom of the drum through heat pipes such that the soil is heated. As a temperature of the soil gradually rises to about 300-500° C., water and organic contaminants in the soil are volatilized into a gaseous state and carry dust to become thermal desorption offgas that is separated from the soil, the thermal desorption offgas becoming part of the hot air and flowing from the drum to a dust remover. Part of the hot air is recirculated to the drum, and another part of the hot air is discharged after being purified.

Abstract: An in-plane sliding parallel capacitive radio frequency (RF) switch includes a substrate, first to third drive components, an insulating layer, and a sliding component. Where a drive voltage is applied between the first and second drive components, the sliding component slides to the top of the first and second drive components; in this case, relatively large capacitance is formed between the first and second drive components and the sliding component, a RF signal is almost completely reflected, and the transmission is cut off. Where the drive voltage is applied between the second and third drive components, the sliding component slides to the top of the second and third drive components; in this case, no facing area between a first drive electrode and the sliding component exists in a vertical direction, the capacitance is rather small, and the RF signal may be transmitted basically without loss.
