Abstract: An O-RAN packet to be transmitted includes a header having a packet sequence number that is independent of an uplink/downlink direction in which the packet is to be transmitted. The header, which may be an eCPRI or RoE header, is generated without regard for a data direction bit. The packet sequence number is generated within a sequence count generator of the controller that operates separately from generation of a remainder of the packet and that ignores the data direction bit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for handling an acknowledgement of C-plane message in a wireless communication system. A method of a transmitter device comprises: generating a section extension for an ACK/NACK request including an ackNackReqId field and an extLen field, wherein the ackNackReqId field indicates the ACK/NACK request ID of a section description and the extLen field indicates a size of the section extension; transmitting, to a receiver device, the C-plane message including the section extension for the ACK/NACK request; and receiving, from the receiver device, an ACK message corresponding to the C-plane message.

Abstract: A control plane section type message indicates a section extension message that includes a field numZeroPadBin indicating a number of zero padded bins to be added after a symbol indicated by a section header of the control plane section type message for FFT/iFFT. The control plane section type message may be one of a Section Type 1 message, a Section Type 3 message, or a Section Type 5 message, and may be associated with a MBSFN subframe. The value of the numZeroPadBin field is determined based on SCS, FFT size and CP combination of NCP/ECP in a subframe or and a slot.

Abstract: An adhesive composition which lacks functional groups containing reactive hydrogen moieties and contains no post-polymerization chemical crosslinker finds use in transdermal drug delivery systems. The invention enables the administration of drugs containing a reactive functional group, which drugs have heretofore not been able to be administered by the transdermal route using conventional acrylic adhesives.

Abstract: A sink may be to used to process multimedia digital data. The sink may include a plurality of input ports, an output port, a switchably-enabled selector to select an input port from a plurality of HDMI input ports to couple to an output port, a control circuit to detect encrypted data in a channel of the input ports; and a plurality of decryption engines. Each of the decryption engines may be coupled to respective input ports to synchronize with a corresponding encryption engine of a data source after the control circuit detects encrypted data in the channel of the respective input port. Additional circuitry may be included to operate the sink in a power saving mode. Also, methods for processing the data in both power saving and non-power saving modes.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive adhesive formulations of an acrylic polymer grafted with a hydrogenated rubber. In one embodiment, the polymer contains a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate ester which is crosslinked with a titanium-containing chelated metal alkoxide. The adhesive formulations provide an exceptional combination of adhesion to low energy surfaces and high temperature cohesive strength.

Abstract: A graft copolymer for use as an adhesive for drug delivery patches or dressings that is resistant to dissolution in the presence of skin penetration enhancers comprises copolymerized acrylic and, optionally, vinyl monomers, to form a backbone polymer, to which are grafted polymeric moieties that do not absorb greater than 3% by weight of a skin-penetration enhancer under thermodynamic equilibrium at 25.degree. C. if independently introduced into an excess of the enhancer. Preferably, the grafted polymers are selected from the classes of polybutylene, polysaccharide, poly(ethyleneoxide/propyleneoxide), and polyamide polymers, and specific grafted polymers will depend on the specific enhancers used in a particular drug delivery system.
