Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: An access network device determines first information when remote interference is detected, where the first information is used to configure a time domain resource of an SRS to be migrated from a first time domain resource to a second time domain resource, and strength of remote interference on the second time domain resource is less than strength of remote interference on the first time domain resource; and the access network device sends the first information to a terminal.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A die pad is disposed at the first surface of the semiconductor die. A leadframe includes a carrier section on which the semiconductor die is mounted. The semiconductor die is solder-bonded to the carrier section with the second surface facing the carrier section. A metal-plated bond area is provided on the carrier section of the leadframe. A metal of the metal-plated bond area is different from a metal of the leadframe. An electrical conductor is connected to the die pad and bonded to the metal-plated bond area. The metal-plated bond area has a substantially triangular shape.

Abstract: Self-stressing engineered composites that include a matrix containing self-stressing reinforcement that is activated by an activator that causes, in situ, the self-stressing reinforcement to transfer at least some of its pre-stress into portions of the matrix adjacent the self-stressing reinforcement. In some embodiments, the activator can be of a self-activating, an internal activating, and/or an external activating type. In some embodiments, the self-stressing reinforcement includes an active component that holds and transfers pre-stress to a matrix and a releasing component that causes the active component to transfer its pre-stress to the matrix. In some embodiments, the self-stressing reinforcement is initially unstressed and becomes stressed upon activation. Various engineered composites, self-stressing reinforcement, and applications of self-stressing engineered composites are disclosed.
