Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE comprises at least one processor configured to determine a first subcarrier spacing and a transceiver configured to transmit, to a base station (BS), random access signals generated with the first subcarrier spacing and receive a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing. The UE further comprises at least one processor configured to set the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

Abstract: A computer system and method for generating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing a company asset based on evaluation of company assets (e.g., a hospital). Stored in a database are one or more digital assets (e.g., one or more of settlement rights and insurance claim payment obligations) representative of contractual obligations owed to the company (e.g., settlement rights), which are then analyze to determine one or more assets owed to the company. A valuation value is then determined for the determined one or more assets. NFTs are then generated based on the determined valuation value of the determined one or more assets. Additionally, the generated NFTs may be leveraged as collateral in an underwriting process. Further, analyzed in real-time, is a revenue cycle management of the company for generating a risk-weighted index value indicative of the revenue cycle management.

Abstract: A method of data storage includes determining a latency distance from a primary node to each of two or more replica nodes, choosing a preferred replica node of the two or more replica nodes based on the determined latency distances, and write-caching data into the preferred replica node.

Abstract: A lateral flow test kit includes a cassette and a swab. The cassette comprises a vial of liquid closed by seal; a test strip; a passage leading from the exterior of the cassette to the vial; and a conduit communicating between the vial and the test strip. The swab can be inserted along the passage to cause a tip of the swab to enter the vial and release liquid from the vial. The liquid flows past a head of the swab to extract a sample and deliver it through the conduit 34 to the test strip. The passage may comprise an obstruction, which requires the user to push the swab past it with a force sufficient to penetrate the seal. The obstruction may also prevent removal of the used swab from the cassette. A distal end of the passage may be curved to deflect the tip of the swab towards the seal at a more favourable angle.

Abstract: A system for dispensing a detergent solution from a solid detergent into a dishwasher includes a dispenser that can collect water sprayed into the dishwasher and use the collected water to produce the detergent solution by dissolving a portion of the solid detergent, controlling the amount of the detergent solution produced, and releasing the produced detergent solution between cleaning cycles. The dispenser can perform these functions automatically without being electrically powered.
