Abstract: A first access node of a first network utilizes code sequences, assigned to different user devices, to distinguish at least acknowledgements received in parallel or sequentially from those user devices. The first access node determines from received signaling that a root sequence of the code sequences is in use by a second access node of a second network, then changes that root sequence of the code sequences assigned to the different user devices. In certain examples the access nodes are WLAN access points APs and the acknowledgements are received in response to a group probe/poll. In various embodiments the first AP monitors its neighbors' group probes/polls to learn the root sequences/basic service sets in use in those neighbor networks, or the AP's own stations monitor and send the information in neighbor reports. This latter option can be initiated by the stations themselves, or by the AP.

Abstract: Disclosed is a synthesis method of a compound of formula 1,5-[[2(R)-[1(R)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethoxyl]-3(S)-4-fluorophenyl-4-morpholinyl]methyl]-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-one (i.e. aprepitant), which comprises cyclizing a compound of formula 4 in a solvent, wherein R is C1-C5 alkyl. The intermediate for preparing aprepitant is also disclosed. The present method is especially suitable for industrial production of aprepitant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode for a secondary battery including an electrode current collector, an electrode active material combination layer formed on one or both sides of the electrode current collector, and a polyurethane-based coating layer formed on the electrode active material combination layer, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.

Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a method may include sending, by an apparatus, a probe requesting for nodes with queued data to acknowledge the probe, receiving, by the apparatus, multiple acknowledgments from the nodes, the multiple acknowledgments overlapping at least partially in time and frequency, determining, by the apparatus, which nodes acknowledged the probe by decoding the multiple acknowledgments according to a code division multiple access scheme, sending, by the apparatus, an allocation to the nodes that acknowledged the probe, the allocation allocating spectral resources for the nodes to send the queued data, and receiving, by the apparatus, the queued data from the nodes that acknowledged the probe.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition comprising: a) a polypropylene; b) a polyolefin elastomer; and c) a block composite. The polyolefin elastomer has an I10/I2 from greater than 7.5 to 15.0. The composition may optionally include a filler.

Abstract: Instead of an application specifying that it uses an entire API, the application specifies the subset(s) of the API that it uses. Specific hosts can choose when to implement a subset of the API set without having to support other subsets of the API. When the host implements a subset of API set that was not previously supported, an application that specified the use of the newly supported subset begins to work on the hosts automatically. An application may specify subsets having different versions. For example, the versions of different subsets that are specified may be different. When the host supports the subsets used by the application, the application is activated (i.e. “run”). When the host does not support one or more of the subsets used by the application, the application is not activated.

Abstract: A method and device is described, which measures and records one or more repetitive biological signals, such as heartbeat, breathing rate, and/or intrinsic brainwave frequency, and uses these tempos and timing information as a feedback mechanism to an individual doing one or more repetitive motion activities, in order to synchronize the activities with the repetitive biological signals, or a simple ratio of harmonics or sub-harmonics thereof. The feedback is achieved through a visual, audio, or tactile signal that indicates to the individual pacing information for precisely when to perform the activity. The purpose of synchronizing repetitive motion activity to biological activity is to optimize the efficiency of the system as a whole, reducing energy consumption and promoting calm and focused performance. Repetitive motion activities include but are not limited to breathing, running, bicycling, swimming, walking, hiking, jump rope, and rowing.

Abstract: Systems for replication group partitioning include a workload profiling module configured to analyze historical workload data for a plurality of data elements to identify and categorize one or more transaction patterns; and a recommendation module configured to generate a recommended partitioning of the plurality of data elements into one or more replication groups, based on the one or more transaction patterns, that are optimized toward a partitioning goal.

Abstract: Methods for determination and residency of service provider of a multi-card mobile terminal are provided. A method for the residency of the multi-card mobile terminal comprises: when some or all cards belong to the same service provider, said cards will reside in the same cell. Some embodiments of the present invention acquire IMSI corresponding to each card and extract HPLMN or EHPLMN from the IMSI to identify from card storage information rapidly and accurately cards in the mobile terminal that belong to the same service provider, and make those cards reside in the same cell during starting-up stage, cell reselection, or network recovery under the circumstance of a plurality of cards belonging to the same service provider, thus reducing the realization difficulties in measurement, idle standby, synchronous maintenance, etc., stabilizing the system and optimizing the performance of mobile terminal.
