  • Publication number: 20250115536
    Abstract: A method for reducing the risk of burning and explosion in a deoxygenation process of an oxygen-containing gas includes multiple steps. According to this method, in the presence of a gaseous alkane, hydrogen reacts with an oxygen-containing gas from which an unsaturated hydrocarbon has been removed. The oxygen-containing gas contains the oxygen and the unsaturated hydrocarbon, and the content of the oxygen in the oxygen-containing gas is greater than 0.5% by volume. A gaseous alkane is introduced to reduce the risk of burning and explosion of a mixed gas. A hydrocatalytic reaction is carried out to promote oxygen in the mixed gas to react with hydrogen to produce water, which removes oxygen from the oxygen-containing gas and also effectively inhibits carbon deposition on the surface of a catalyst and the production of a carbon oxide, which enhances the toleration for fluctuation of the oxygen content in a raw gas.

  • Publication number: 20250119197
    Abstract: A base station includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first synchronization signal block (SSB) burst including a first set of SSBs. The first set of SSBs is transmitted via the transceiver on a first set of beams having a first beam pattern. The processor is also configured to signal, via the transceiver, a change in beam pattern for transmitted SSBs. The change in beam pattern is signaled before or during transmission of a second SSB burst. The processor is further configured to transmit the second SSB burst. The second SSB burst includes a second set of SSBs transmitted via the transceiver on a second set of beams having a second beam pattern. The second set of beams has a different number of beams than the first set of beams, and the second set of SSBs has a different number of SSBs than the first set of SSBs.

  • Patent number: 12273741
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a UE to determine a UL spatial relation for an UL transmission in response to an unknown UL spatial relation switch. The UE may determine whether the UL spatial relation is based on an SRS transmission in UL, a CSI-RS in DL, or an SSB in the DL. If the UL spatial relation is based on the SRS transmission, the UE may select the UL spatial relation for the UL transmission corresponding to a Tx beam of the SRS transmission. If the UL spatial relation is based on the CSI-RS or the SSB, the UE may select the UL spatial relation for the UL transmission based on whether the unknown UL spatial relation switch is due to a corresponding resource for beam training not being configured by a communication network or a corresponding beam information being expired.
