  • Patent number: 9537192
    Abstract: A battery is provided with an associated method for transporting metal-ions in the battery using a low temperature molten salt (LTMS). The battery comprises an anode, a cathode formed from a LTMS having a liquid phase at a temperature of less than 150° C., a current collector submerged in the LTMS, and a metal-ion permeable separator interposed between the LTMS and the anode. The method transports metal-ions from the separator to the current collector in response to the LTMS acting simultaneously as a cathode and an electrolyte. More explicitly, metal-ions are transported from the separator to the current collector by creating a liquid flow of LTMS interacting with the current collector and separator.

  • Patent number: 9538397
    Abstract: A base station is provided in which a terminal efficiently controls a demodulation reference signal for a data signal transmitted from the base station in a wireless communication system in which the base station and the terminal communicates with each other. The base station that performs a communication with the terminal includes a data signal generation unit that generates a data signal for terminal, and a demodulation reference signal for a data signal multiplexing unit that multiplexes a demodulation reference signal for a data signal, which is a known signal for demodulating the data signal, into the data signal. The scramble code included in the demodulation reference signal for the data signal is generated based on a first scramble ID and a second scramble ID that are notified from the base station to the terminal.
