Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for detection of a signal using resource elements in the frequency domain where the signal for which detection is provided is multiplexed with other signals having subcarrier spacing that is different than the signal for which detection is provided are disclosed. Embodiments may provide for detection of a physical random access channel (PRACH) signal in a cellular radio communication system using resource elements in the frequency domain, wherein the PRACH signal is multiplexed with signals of other channels (e.g., data and/or control channel signals) of the cellular radio communication system. A frequency domain filter, such as implementing inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) with down-sampling using indices for PRACH recovery, may be utilized to extract PRACH samples from frequency domain resource elements provided in a resource grid corresponding to a different subcarrier spacing than that of the PRACH.

Abstract: A strap adjustment system has a base body having a bottom wall, two side walls and a strap retaining bar extending between the two side walls, the bottom wall having an aperture therethrough with screw threads extending around an inside surface, and a screw disc having a central protrusion and screw threads extending around the central protrusion. The central protrusion fits through the aperture in the base body by rotating the screw disc so that the threads in the screw disc mate with the threads in the aperture, such that a height of the protrusion above the bottom wall of the base body is adjustable by turning the screw disc. In situations where a high degree of friction is required, the protrusion can be positioned at a maximum height through the aperture, and in situations where a low degree of friction is desired, the protrusion can be positioned lower.
