Abstract: A method for preparing (S)-nicotine by reduction includes conducting a reduction process on an alkene compound as shown in Formula I and/or an iminium cation compound as shown in Formula II, thereby producing (S)-nicotine. The method is simple, safe, reliable, and yields both high purity and high quantities of (S)-nicotine production.

Abstract: This application provides a method for adjusting a half-power angle of an antenna, to adjust a maximum half-power angle or a maximum beam gain of an individual transceiver channel. The method includes: first determining that M antenna elements in N antenna elements connected to a first transceiver channel of an access network device need to be turned on or off, where N>M?1, and both N and M are integers, that is, a quantity of antenna elements driven by the first transceiver channel needs to be adjusted; and then sending first indication information to the access network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate to turn on or off the M antenna elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that integrate control electronics with a wireless on-board module so that a conformal ultrasound device is a fully functional and self-contained system. Such systems employ integrated control electronics, deep tissue monitoring, wireless communications, and smart machine learning algorithms to analyze data. In particular, a stretchable ultrasonic patch is provided that performs the noted functions. The decoded motion signals may have implications on blood pressure estimation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis, heart function evaluation, and many other medical monitoring aspects.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed of a hybrid automatic repeat request feedback method and apparatus, and relates to the field of communications technologies. The hybrid automatic repeat request feedback method is applied to a receive end. After receiving data information sent by a transmit end, the receive end may determine, when target data in the data information is not checked, a measurement value of the target data, then generate feedback information based on the measurement value, and subsequently, send the feedback information to the transmit end, so that the transmit end can determine, based on the feedback information, whether the target data needs to be retransmitted.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission method and device. The method includes: when a resource position of a first data packet is preempted, generating, by a first device, first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate information about the preempted resource position of the first data packet; and sending, by the first device, the first indication information to a second device, so that the second device receives the first data packet based on the first indication information.

Abstract: A conformable piezoelectric transducer array for performing ultrasound or the like includes a silicone elastomer substrate and a silicone elastomer superstrate. A plurality of piezoelectric transducer elements are disposed between the substrate and superstrate. A first electrical interconnect layer electrically interconnects a first surface of the transducer elements adjacent to the substrate and a second electrical interconnect layer electrically interconnecting a second surface of the transducer elements adjacent to the superstrate.
