  • Patent number: 10070463
    Abstract: A wireless telecommunications method, a computer program product and network nodes are disclosed. The wireless telecommunications network node method comprises on a failure to establish a connection after initiating a RACH procedure, repeatedly transmitting a RACH preamble signature using a defined set of resource blocks of an uplink channel. In this way, when a conventional RACH procedure fails to establish a connection with the network, a modified RACH procedure is instead initiated. This modified RACH procedure transmits a RACH preamble signature repeatedly using a repeating set of resource blocks which are repeatedly allocated from the uplink channel. This enables the RACH preamble signature to be repeatedly transmitted so that the energy from these repeated transmissions may be combined by the network in order to detect the presence of the RACH preamble signature transmitted by network nodes in a poor coverage area such as, for example, an MTC device located in a basement.

First, a potato is cleaned, peeled, and sliced to be steamed. Subsequently, the steamed potato slices are pulped until a pulp is smooth and shiny. A colloid is added, and after mixing the pulp with the colloid, the mixture is steamed to cook the potato and fully dissolve the colloid. After the mixture is cooled to room temperature, white chocolate powder is added to the mixture. To implement refined printing of recuperation mashed potato, printing temperature, a moving speed of the nozzle, a discharging speed and so on are selected and determined to perform printing. Precision of a print object may reach more than 95%, and the object does not collapse within 40 min to 60 min after being printed.
