Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for zone-based soft resource partitioning for high reliability high range communications (HRHRC) are described. A first wireless device determines, based at least in part on a location of the first wireless device and a type of traffic associated with the first wireless device, whether to use a first set of resources or a second set of resources for communications between the first wireless device and a second wireless device. The first wireless device communicates with the second wireless device on the first or second sets of resources, in accordance with the determination. The communications involve the type of traffic.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting user equipment (UE) such as a vehicle may identify data for transmission and transmit a request message to one or more receiving UEs (e.g., other vehicles). The request message may be associated with a first priority. The transmitting UE may monitor resources for a response message. The response message may be associated with a second priority. If the transmitting UE receives a response message, the transmitting UE may determine whether to transmit the data based on a comparison of the priorities of the request message and the response message. In some cases, the transmitting UE may transmit the data if the transmitting UE does not receive any response message. A receiving UE may receive the request message and determine whether to transmit a response message based on the priority and/or the receive power of the request message.

Abstract: A rubber member for coating a developing roll which is obtained by coating a coating layer component around a developing roll having a rubber substrate layer and curing the coating layer component is described. The coating layer component contains: (A) a liquid binder containing at least a polyol, an isocyanate compound and reactive silicone oil; (B) silicone rubber particles having a hardness according to JIS K6253: 1997 by Durometer A, measured instantaneously, of 20 to 80 degrees, and a rubber particle size of 0.2 to 10 pm; and a diluting solvent. A ratio of a thickness of the coating layer after curing and a particle size of the rubber satisfies: the rubber particle size/a coating layer thickness <0.3.

Abstract: In an aspect, an apparatus, e.g., a base station of a first network, maybe configured to receive UE capability information from each UE of a plurality of UEs, the UE capability information indicating a number of different carrier synchronization timings that the UE can track within a plurality of carriers. The carriers maybe associated with multiple different networks including the first network. The apparatus maybe configured to determine, based on the received UE capability information, a set of synchronization-timing priorities indicating a priority for timing synchronization types for use within each carrier of a set of carriers of the plurality of carriers, and broadcast the set to the UEs. In an aspect, a UE may determine and send the UE capability to a base station. The UE may receive the set of synchronization-timing priorities and perform timing synchronization based on the received set of synchronization-timing priorities.

Preferably the electrically conductive film comprises zinc oxide and the reflective layer is deposited into a basin in a second dielectric film.

Abstract: A controller for controlling the display of secondary digital content displayed in an overlay above a primary video stream. The controller includes a touch interface device, a processor, and a memory storing non-transitory instructions. These instructions, when executed, can include (i) detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch interface device, (ii) in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display, (iii) detecting a second input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, (iv) in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed, (v) detecting a third input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, and (vi) in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space.

Abstract: System and methods described herein includes a method for iterative decoding. The method includes instantiating an iterative decoding procedure to decode a codeword. At each iteration of the iterative decoding procedure, the method further includes retrieving information relating to a plurality of current decoding variables at a current iteration, determining a first current decoding variable to be skipped for the current iteration based on the information, and processing a second decoding variable without processing the first decoding variable to update related decoding variables from the plurality of current decoding variables.

Abstract: A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus operate to reduce or eliminate interference with one or more other communication systems having specific transmission requirements within a specific geographic area. For example, aspects operate by determining that a user equipment (UE) is in a protection zone where additional transmission requirements apply. The additional transmission requirements enable coexistence with one or more other communication systems in the protection zone. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and a coexistence mode, one or more transmit emission limit requirements to be met. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and the coexistence mode, one or more maximum transmit power requirements to be met. The UE may configure a transmit output power, at which the UE can meet the one or more transmit emission limit requirements and the one or more maximum transmit power requirements.

Abstract: A means of detecting the in-situ fuel-to-air-ratio (FAR) in a combustor or flame zone using a Fourier-based flame ionization probe is presented. The use of multiple excitation frequencies and its detection at certain frequencies or combinations of harmonics of those excitation frequencies, namely, the inter-modulation distortion, provides a novel means of extracting a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) FAR measurement in a combustor.
