Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing liquefied natural gas. A portion of a natural gas stream is cooled in a heat exchanger and combined with the natural gas stream. Heavy hydrocarbons are removed from the combined natural gas stream, and the resulting separated natural gas stream is partially condensed in the first heat exchanger, with a liquid stream separated therefrom. The natural gas stream is warmed in the first heat exchanger and then is compressed and cooled. The resultant cooled compressed natural gas stream is expanded, thereby forming a chilled natural gas stream that is separated into a refrigerant stream and a non-refrigerant stream. The refrigerant stream recycled to the heat exchanger to be warmed through heat exchange with one or more process streams associated with pretreating the natural gas stream, thereby generating a warmed refrigerant stream. The warmed refrigerant stream and the non-refrigerant stream are liquefied.

Abstract: A transparent conductive substrate structure used for a thermoforming process includes a transparent cover plate and a touch sensing layer structure. The transparent cover plate includes a toughening layer on one side thereof. The touch sensing layer structure arranged on one surface of the toughening layer, and includes a first transparent conductive layer, a dielectric layer, a barrier layer, a second transparent conductive layer, and a buffer protective layer. Each transparent conductive layer is directly applied to the transparent cover plate, so that the thickness between the transparent conductive layers is below 1 ?m. The thickness between layers may be reduced to increase the sensitivity of the touch sensing layer structure. To prevent each transparent conductive layer and an electrode wire layer from breaking during the thermoforming process, the transparent conductive substrate structure is combined with the buffer protective layer to strengthen the structure of each transparent conductive layer.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) calculates a propagation delay for sending a message from the UE to a network node, such as a base station, via non-terrestrial communications. The method sends a random access preamble to the base station while accounting for the calculated propagation delay. The method starts a random access response (RAR) window at a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasion after twice the calculated propagation delay from sending the random access preamble.

Further, the method sends an uplink message to arrive during the uplink shared channel resource while accounting for the calculated propagation delay.
