Title: Systems and methods for cell range extension
Inventor: BENNY ASSOULINE
IPC: H04W56/00
Filed: 2017-02-03
Abstract: To support extended range communication, a wireless base station (BS) 10 uses a longer guard period to communicate with a user equipment (UE) UE2 which is located beyond a specified range 12 than with a UE UE1 which is located within said range. The UE makes a measurement indicative of the distance or time delay to the BS, then sends this to the BS which determines the guard period for the UE. The information sent by the UE may indicate round trip time (RTT) and may be signaled in a preamble sequence on a physical random access channel (PRACH). It may comprise two indications: a first with coarse granularity, and a second with finer granularity sent after a timing advance has been received by the wireless device. The base station may be an eNB, the UE may be an MTC device, and the network may be LTE operating with TDD or HD-FDD.

Title: Process, method and system for removing heavy metals from fluids
Inventor: DENNIS JOHN O'REAR
IPC: C10G31/06
Filed: 2015-10-26
Abstract: Particulate mercury, in the form of metacinnabar, is removed from crude oil by thermally treating the crude oil at temperatures in a range from 150°C to 350°C and at a pressure sufficient to limit the amount of crude vaporizing to no more than 10 wt. %. In the thermal treatment, the particulate mercury is converted into elemental mercury, which can be removed by directly adsorption from the crude onto a support. In one embodiment, the elemental mercury can be removed by stripping the crude with a gas, and then adsorbing the mercury onto a support. The crude oil can be optionally treated prior to stabilization and contains 0.1 wt. % or more of C4-hydrocarbons. Following the thermal treatment, the treated crude is cooled and the pressure is reduced. The C4- hydrocarbons then vaporize from the crude and carry the elemental mercury with them. The elemental mercury in this hydrocarbon gas stream may then be removed by a solid adsorbent.
