Abstract: A CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid contains a surfactant, an auxiliary agent, water, and CO2, wherein CO2 is liquid and/or supercritical CO2. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid provided by the invention does not flow back after completion of fracturing construction, and the gel breaking fluid displacement is carried out after soak for a period of time to improve the tight oil recovery ratio. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid exerts the “one-agent multi-purpose” function of sand carrying, CO2 energization and oil displacement, surfactant imbibition and oil discharge of a fracturing-displacement system in different development and production stages, and achieves the dual goals of expanding the utilization degree of tight oil and improving the displacement efficiency of the tight oil, which can effectively reduce costs and achieve the goal of unified, highly efficient and green development of oil and gas fields.

Abstract: A control resource region of an New Radio system slot structure may be separated into control resource sets, only some of which may be used for control transmissions. Aspects presented herein improve the efficient utilization of resources by enabling data transmission in resources of the DL control resource region and/or the UL control resource region. A UE receives an indication of a control resource set in a control resource region of a slot that may provide a control channel resource or a data channel resource and performs rate matching for data transmissions in the data channel based at least in part on the indication. The indication may be a semi-static indication, e.g., RRC signaling, of the control resource set.

Abstract: The application of a titanium hydride coating on a ceramic, preferably an alumina ceramic, as a facile and inexpensive approach to bond gold to the ceramic during brazing is described. During the brazing process, the deposited titanium hydride is first partially decomposed to form pure titanium intermixed with titanium hydride. The combination of pure titanium and titanium hydride contributes to improved adhesion of gold with the alumina ceramic without any detrimental reaction between pure titanium and gold. The titanium hydride coating can be applied by dip/spray/paint coating.

Abstract: Examples of a suture anchor (100) having a non-expandable body (105) and expendable cap (110) are described herein. In response to an axial insertion force that brings the non-expandable body and expendable cap together inside a bone hole, the expendable cap expands radially. This creates a radial force of expansion that advantageously augments an interference fit between the suture anchor and bone hole, which leads to higher fixation strength. Other examples include retention features that inhibit the expendable cap from returning back into its unexpanded state. This advantageously maintains the radial force of expansion against the surrounding pressure of the walls of the bone hole pressing back on the suture.

Abstract: A display panel and a display device are provided. The resistance of a first equivalent resistor is set to be larger than the resistance of a second equivalent resistor so that voltage across the first equivalent resistor can be higher. In this way, when a second type of sub-pixel is driven to be lightened, and a first type of sub-pixel is driven not to be lightened, the first type of sub-pixel can be avoided from being lightened, due to the higher voltage across the first equivalent resistor despite leakages current, thus alleviating a display abnormality, and improving a display effect.

Abstract: A security system and a security method of stored data are provided. In the security system and the security method, a central processing unit performs hashing operation on a seed code to generate a data access code, which is then compared with a password stored in a storage device. If there is no password in the storage device, the data access code is written into the storage device as the password. On the other hand, if the data access code does not match the password, the storage device denies the access request from the central processing unit.
