Abstract: Random Access (RA) formats are defined for NB-IoT operation in TDD mode. The formats are defined to allow use of in the legacy LTE subframe configurations for TDD. The formats specify a predetermined, even number P of symbol groups composing a RA preamble, wherein each symbol group comprises a Cyclic Prefix (CP) and a number X of symbols. The P symbol groups are divided into symbol group sets fitting into 1, or 2, or 3 contiguous uplink subframes, each comprising at least two symbol groups transmitted back-to-back (i.e., contiguously in time), and at least two symbol group sets are transmitted non-contiguously in time across a number of uplink subframes over which the RA preamble is transmitted. The number of symbol groups in a set can be two or three, and the number of symbol groups is four or six, respectively. Symbol groups within a set are transmitted on adjacent uplink subframes. Five format options are defined, which map to various of the LTE TDD configurations.

Abstract: A self-loading receptacle liner apparatus has a pair of parallel tubes, each with a longitudinal slot extending the length of the tube. The slot center widens to a notch. The tube ends are attached together by two elastic bands with the slots facing each other. Each of a nested set of liners has a drawstring within a passage at the top of the liner and accessible through an opening in the passage. The stacked liners passages are slid into the slot until the drawstring openings align with the notch. The stacked liners are placed in the receptacle, and the tubes pulled apart until they straddle the receptacle opening and placed against the outside of the receptacle. When the upper-most liner is full, the drawstrings are pulled from the notch to cinch the top of the liner, simultaneously pulling the liner from the slots, leaving the next liner ready for use.
