An activated carbon may also be formed by milling a carbon material to a predetermined particle size, then activating the milled particles. In another enhancement, an activated carbon is formed by coating a carbon or carbon precursor with nanoparticles, carbonizing if the carbon is a carbon precursor, then catalytically activating in air and an inert gas, and physically activating in steam or carbon dioxide. An activated carbon may also be formed by physically activating a previously chemically activated carbon.

Title: Flexible signaling of resources on a control channel
Inventor: MALLADI DURGA PRASAD
IPC: H04W72/14
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing flexible signaling of resource block assignments on a control channel. Resource blocks associated with an uplink or downlink channel can be split into a plurality of groups, and group-specific signaling constraints can be utilized with each of these groups. For example, the group-specific signaling constraints can relate to minimum resource block allocation units, signaling structures (e.g., bitmap structure, contiguous allocation structure, tree-based structure, ), and the like utilized for sending assignment indications that allocate resource blocks within the respective groups. Further, an access terminal can have a common understanding of the group-specific signaling constraints; thus, a received assignment indication can be deciphered by the access terminal by utilizing the group-specific signaling constraints.

Filed: 2008-10-01
Abstract: A transmitter in a wireless network transmits joint channel quality indicator (CQI) and data packet acknowledgement (Ack) or just CQI within the same subframe without uplink data transmission that can be readily detected at a receiver. When a short cyclic prefix (CP) is appropriate, a first approach utilizes a pilot aided signaling by using two different Walsh covers for the pilots to signal CQI vs. CQI+ACK. When a long CP is appropriate with one pilot, two different code designs are provided for CQI and CQI+ACK that only optimize the code book for each mode separately, but also maximize the distance between these two code spaces.  Various coset based approaches are described to search for such linear block codes. Initial results showed good codes can be found based on the coset based approach to minimize the false alarm and misdetection.
