Patent CA-2720024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHEN WANSHI
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 2009-04-29
Abstract: Techniques for assigning acknowledgement (ACK) resource to a user equip-ment (UE) in a wireless communication system are described. In one design, a first parameter indicative of radio resources (e.g., the lowest index of at least one physical resource block) al-located to the UE for data transmission may be obtained. A second parameter indicative of another resource (e.g., a cyclic shift of a reference signal sequence) assigned to the UE for data transmission may also be obtained. The first and/or second parameter may be restricted, and each restricted parameter may be limited to a set of allowed values among all available values for the parameter. ACK resource assigned to the UE for data transmission may be de-termined based on the first and second parameters. In one design, sequential first parameter values may be mapped to sequential ACK resources indices. In another design, mirror map-ping with different mapping directions may be used for different allowed values of the second parameter.

Abstract: A gas regulator includes an actuator, a valve, and a balanced port housing disposed within the valve for flow conditioning to convert turbulent flow within the valve to laminar flow when the fluid reaches the sensing point of a Pitot tube disposed within the outlet of the valve. The balancing port housing includes an opening through a sidewall and disposed between a valve port of the valve and the outlet. The opening may include a partial obstruction, such as baffles or a mesh screen over which the fluid flows to convert the turbulent flow to laminar flow. The regulator may further include balanced trim having a balancing diaphragm in fluid communication with the upstream pressure to apply a force to a valve disc of the valve in the opposite direction of the force applied to the valve disc by the upstream pressure so that the upstream pressure does not affect the regulator's control of the downstream pressure.

Abstract: Porous composites of mullite and cordierite are formed by firing an acicular mullite body in the pres-ence of a magnesium source and a silicon source. In some variations of the process, the magnesium and silicon sources are present when the acicular mullite body is formed. In other variations, the magnesium source and the silicon source are applied to a previously-formed acicular mullite body. Surprisingly, the composites have coeffi-cients of linear thermal expansion that are intermediate to those of mullite and cordierite alone, and have higher frac-ture strengths than cordierite at a similar porosity. Some of the cordierite forms at grain boundaries and/or points of in-tersection between mullite needles, rather than merely coat-ing the needles. The presence of magnesium and silicon sources during acicular mullite formation does not signifi-cantly affect the ability to produce a highly porous network of mullite needles.
