  • Publication number: 20170062144
    Abstract: A process for forming a capacitor is presented. The process includes providing a laminate including a dielectric layer disposed on a sacrificial substrate, forming a free-standing metallized dielectric layer and packaging the free-standing metallized dielectric layer to form a capacitor. The dielectric layer includes a polyetherimide. The step of forming the free-standing metallized dielectric layer is performed by: (a) disposing a metal layer on the dielectric layer to form a metalized laminate such that a metalized dielectric layer is formed on the sacrificial substrate, and removing the sacrificial substrate to form the free-standing metallized dielectric layer; or (b) removing the sacrificial substrate from the laminate to form a free-standing dielectric layer, and disposing a metal layer on the free-standing dielectric layer to form the free-standing metallized dielectric layer. A capacitor formed by the process is presented.

  • Patent number: 9516600
    Abstract: A method for assigning downlink transmit power levels to radio nodes (RNs) in a small cell radio access network (RAN) includes assigning initial power levels to the RNs. For each cell, first events are counted indicating that UEs receiving a signal from their serving cells with a signal strength below a specified value have entered a coverage hole. For each cell, second events are counted indicating that UEs have re-established a previous connection on one of the cells. For each pair of cells, a coverage hole is identified between them if the number of first events for one cell exceeds a threshold and a number of second events or re-establishment of a previous connection on the other cell exceeds another threshold. For each identified coverage hole, the downlink transmit power level is increased of at least one RN in the pair of cells between which the coverage hole is identified.
