Abstract: A base station transmits a downlink control information (DCI) to a wireless device. The DCI comprises: an indication of resource blocks for wireless device transmission of uplink data via a subframe of an unlicensed cell; a first field comprising an index indicating a starting position for the wireless device transmission of the uplink data; and a second field indicating an ending symbol for the wireless device transmission of the uplink data, the ending symbol being one of pre-configured ending symbols. The base station receives the uplink data, via the unlicensed cell, starting at the starting position in the subframe and ending before the ending symbol. The uplink data is received based on a listen-before-talk procedure indicating a clear channel before the starting position. The uplink data is mapped to resource elements corresponding to the resource blocks based at least on the starting position and the ending symbol.

Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters indicating a single frequency network (SFN) scheme for a control channel. The wireless device receives a medium access control control element (MAC CE) indicating activation of a set of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a control resource set (coreset) for the SFN scheme. Based on a downlink signal overlapping in at least one symbol with the coreset activated with the two TCI states, the wireless device receives the downlink signal using a first TCI state among the two TCI states. The first TCI state is selected based on an identifier of the first TCI state occurring first, in the MAC CE, among the identifiers of the two TCI states.

Abstract: A brake actuator is configured to perform either a braking operation, or an auto-adjustment operation of an air gap between an actuator output shaft and a brake stack. The brake actuator includes a conjugate ramp track containing a bearing ball, the conjugate ramp track being formed by matching ball ramp tracks of an input ball ramp and an output ball ramp. The output ball ramp is connected to the output shaft by a threaded interface to move the output shaft by rotation of the input ball ramp. The conjugate ramp track is a multi-angle ball ramp track thereby including areas of different gain. The input ball ramp is rotated in a first direction to perform the braking operation, and the input ball ramp is rotated in a second, opposite direction to perform the auto-adjustment operation. During the auto-adjustment operation, a position of the output shaft is automatically adjusted when the air gap has a dimension that is larger than an operable dimension to adjust the air gap to be within the operable dimension.
