Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) for Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) using carrier aggregation is disclosed. Methods for UCI transmission in the uplink control channel, uplink shared channel or uplink data channel are disclosed. The methods include transmitting channel quality indicators (CQI), precoding matrix indicators (PMI), rank indicators (RI), hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK), channel status reports (CQI/PMI/RI), source routing (SR) and sounding reference signals (SRS). In addition, methods for providing flexible configuration in signaling UCI, efficient resource utilization, and support for high volume UCI overhead in LTE-A are disclosed.

Abstract: Fuse assemblies are disclosed. In one implementation, a fuse assembly may be disposed that includes a first portion of the second portion. The first portion may be formed of a first metal. The second portion may be formed of a second metal different from the first metal. The second metal may be copper, and the copper may be tin plated or silver plated.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes an insert for a fuse structure. In one approach, a fuse, includes a housing having a cavity, a fuse element disposed within the cavity, a plurality of terminals extending out of the housing and electrically connected to the fuse element, and an insert disposed in the cavity, the insert including a pin extending through an opening of the housing. In some approaches, the insert includes a separating wall defining first and second cavities of the insert.

Abstract: A fuse may include a housing having a cavity. The fuse may also include a fuse element disposed within the cavity; a plurality of terminals extending out of the housing and electrically connected to the fuse element; and porous material disposed in the cavity adjacent to the fuse element, the porous material having a plurality of pores, the porous material further comprising an open pore structure wherein at least some of the pores are disposed on an outer surface of the porous material facing the fuse element.
