Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to a communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method comprises: a terminal device receives, over an unlicensed frequency spectrum, a first signal transmitted by a network device, wherein the first signal is used for indicating that the network device obtains the channel resource of the unlicensed frequency spectrum; based on the first signal, the terminal device determines the first time-domain resource position of a second signal, wherein the second signal is used for indicating information needed to be obtained by the network device that communicates with the terminal device by using the channel resource of the unlicensed frequency spectrum, or the second signal is a downlink reference signal; and based on the first time-domain resource position, the terminal device receives, over the unlicensed frequency spectrum, the second signal transmitted by the network device.

Abstract: A multi-color faux art palette includes a resilient substrate having an upper and a bottom surface. The bottom surface includes handles integrally dependent from the bottom surface of the substrate. Upon the top surface are secured a plurality of discrete substantially planar color-absorbent sponges, each sponge thereof having a bottom surface integrally dependent from the upper surface of the resilient substrate. Opposing edges of the planar sponges are separated from each other by a distant sufficient to preclude contact therebetween when the sponges are compressed against a planar surface.

Abstract: A method of providing a substrate with a decorative coating simulating the appearance of grained wood. A continuous layer comprising an aqueous medium which contains a polymeric binder and a particulate, non film-forming material is applied to an opaque surface of the substrate (the particulate material and the resulting layer both being lighter in color than the opaque surface. While the layer remains in the liquid state, a tool having a longitudinal extending face which has a convex section transverse to the longitudinal direction thereof, is drawn along the layer, the face of the tool having a series of spaced ridges along the longitudinal direction. The tool is rocked about the face as the tool is drawn along the layer, so as to discontinuously remove parts of the layer and selectively expose part of the underlying surface and to produce a decorative appearance resembling heart grains of cut timber.

Abstract: A decorative painting kit including multiple-color paint applicators and a method of decoratively painting a surface though in situ surface blending of two or more paints of different colors by using a multiple-color paint applicator which is stroked over the same surface a sufficient number of time to at least partially blend the different paint colors. The partial in situ surface blending of two or more paints produces a decorative pattern on the painted surface that is color characterized by having areas with some of the original paint colors and other areas with various blends of the original paint colors thereon to produce a decoratively painted surface.
