Abstract: A method of manufacturing an antenna using a radome (10) comprising a front portion (30) and a rear portion (20), the front and rear portions (20, (30) configured to define an interior cavity in which an antenna arrangement is received, the method comprising placing an antenna panel on an inside of one of the front and rear portions, and bringing the portions together, whereby the front portion (30) includes a peripheral channel region (31) configured to contain an adhesive sealant (60) and receive a peripheral edge (21) of the rear portion (20) that is partially submerged in the adhesive sealant (60) before it cures. Additional mechanical fastening clip engagement members (23; 33) are provided inside both the front and rear portions (20; 30) that engage with one another and mechanically secure the radome front and rear portions (20; 30) to each other, in addition to the adhesive joint provided by the adhesive sealant (60) once cured.

Abstract: A fault location system in a cable transport installation comprises a safety unit (10) and an end module (13) connected by an electrical safety line (11). The safety line (11) comprises a plurality of cable fault contacts (14) of the normally-closed type connected in series. The location system includes a plurality of location modules (20) distributed along the transport installation, each of which comprising a first test contact (21), of the normally-open type, for short-circuiting the safety line (11). Once a fault coming from one of the cable fault contacts (14) is detected, each location module (20) is capable of selectively closing its first test contact (21) so as to be able to locate said faulty contact (14) on the safety line.

Abstract: Various solutions for reporting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) format indicating a first resource of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission. The apparatus may receive a second DCI format indicating a second resource of PUCCH transmission. The apparatus may determine that the receiving of the second DCI format is not earlier than a timing threshold from the first resource. The apparatus may cancel multiplexing of hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information corresponding to the second DCI format in the PUCCH transmission.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to high-strength polyolefin composite fibers, which fibers have a fiber body comprising a composition consisting of polyolefin; 1-30 mass % of bioceramic particles having particle size D50 of 0.01-10 ?m; at most 0.05 mass % of residual spin solvent; optionally 0-3 mass % of other additives; and wherein the sum of a)-d) is 100 mass %; and which fibers have bioceramic particles exposed at their surface, and show bioactivity. The composite fibers based on a composition of polyolefin with bioceramic particles mixed therein show particles being exposed at the fiber surface by techniques like AFM and XPS, and although apparently only a relatively small amount of bioceramic particles is exposed at the fiber surface, this appears sufficient for effective interaction with their environment and stimulating a positive biological response as demonstrated by in vitro cell studies.

Abstract: Various solutions for processing timeline enhancement with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may determine whether a latency requirement of a service is less than a threshold value. The apparatus may use a first processing time capability to perform a transmission in an event that the latency requirement of the service is not less than the threshold value. The apparatus may use a second processing time capability to perform the transmission in an event that the latency requirement of the service is less than the threshold value. The apparatus may apply a scheduling restriction/optimization to perform the transmission when using the second processing time capability.
