Abstract: A communication method, apparatus, and system may include terminal device that receives first information from a core network device, where the first information is used to indicate whether the terminal device is to use a power-saving paging discontinuous reception cycle. The terminal device determines a paging discontinuous reception cycle of the terminal device based on the first information. Therefore, the terminal device avoids always selecting a shortest cycle as the paging discontinuous reception cycle, so that the paging discontinuous reception cycle determined by the terminal device is more appropriate, and power saving of the terminal device is facilitated.

Abstract: This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to determine a DRX cycle. The method includes: receiving data in an active time of a current DRX cycle; when a DRX inactivity timer of the current DRX cycle expires, determining a type of a next DRX cycle depending on whether at least some data received in the active time is associated with a DRX short cycle, where if the at least some data is not associated with a DRX short cycle, the next DRX cycle is a DRX long cycle, or the type of the next DRX cycle is the same as that of a DRX cycle previous to the current DRX cycle. When the DRX inactivity timer expires, the type of the next DRX cycle can be more flexibly determined, and may not necessarily be a DRX short cycle. This can save power of a device to some extent.

Abstract: A process for designing and manufacturing a cavitation erosion resistant component. The process includes selecting a base material for use in a cavitation erosion susceptible environment and conducting a uniaxial loading test on a sample of the selected material. Thereafter, atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography on a surface of the tested sample is conducted and used to provide a surface strain analysis. The process also includes crystal plasticity finite element modeling (CPFEM) of uniaxial loading and CPFEM nanoindentation of the selected material over a range of values for at least one microstructure parameter. A subrange of microstructure parameter values that correlate to CPFEM nanoindentation results that provide increased CE resistance is determined. Finally, a component having an average microstructure parameter value that falls within the subrange of microstructure parameter values is manufactured.

Abstract: In some examples, a material may be subject to shot peening of a relatively long duration to improve cavitation erosion resistance of the material. For example, the material surface may be shot peened to cause grain reduction and an increase in hardness to a depth of 60 ?m or more, while the surface remains relatively smooth. As one example, the method may include treating a surface of austenitic stainless steel by impacting the surface with shot media for a treatment duration of 15 to 40 minutes at a shot peening intensity corresponding to an Almen strip type A intensity of 5A to 10A.
