Abstract: Optimizing beamforming overhead and improving coverage in a radio access network in a wireless communications system (WCS) is disclosed. Herein, a radio node(s) is configured to radiate multiple radio frequency (RF) beams in a coverage area. Notably, the RF beams can intercept a ground since the radio node(s) is mounted above the ground (e.g., on a ceiling) and facing downward toward the ground. As a result, some of the radiated energy may be wasted to degrade coverage and performance in the coverage area. In this regard, in embodiments disclosed herein, multiple reflector devices (passive and/or active) are provided in proximity to the radio node(s) to intercept the RF beams radiated from the radio node(s) and redirect the intercepted RF beams in parallel to the ground. By redirecting the RF beams horizontally, it is possible to reduce energy waste and enhance beamforming coverage in the radio access network.

Thus, the sensor cleaning system can include both a gas cleaning system and a liquid cleaning system. According to one aspect, the sensor cleaning system can provide individualized cleaning of the autonomous vehicle sensors. According to another aspect, a liquid cleaning system can be pressurized or otherwise powered by the gas cleaning system or other gas system.

Abstract: Embodiments provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. Embodiments also provide various drug preparations that are configured to be contained within the capsule, advanced from the capsule into the intestinal wall and degrade within the wall to release the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. The preparation can be coupled to a delivery mechanism having one or more balloons or other expandable devices which are expandable responsive to a condition in the small intestine or other GI lumen to advance the preparation out of the capsule into the intestinal wall. Embodiments are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting system (1) for a stairway, wherein said lifting system can take at least two positions: a stairway position and a platform lift position. The lifting system is provided with a rotatable ramp (9) for enabling a walking-impaired person to enter or exit the lifting system, when the lifting system is in a platform lift position, said ramp being rotatable mounted along at least a part of an outermost edge of the step (2, 3). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating a lifting system, wherein the operation transforms the lifting system from a stairway position to a platform lift position to enabling a walking-impaired person and/or an aid for a walking-impaired person to get from a lower level to an upper level or to get from an upper level to a lower level. Moreover, the invention relates to a computer program.
