Filed: 2015-04-10
Abstract: Communication devices (such as user equipment (UE)) communicate with a base station (such as an eNodeB) using radio frames made up of a sequence of subframes and a frequency band made up of frequency subbands. The base station identifies a subframe in which a broadcast message (such as a random access (RA) or paging message), carrying information for at least one communication device, is to be broadcast: transmits, in a control channel (such as an evolved physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH)) in a frequency subband in a current subframe that precedes the identified subframe, control information to identify said subframe in which said broadcast message is to be broadcast; and transmits the broadcast message in the identified subframe. The communications device may be a reduced bandwidth machine type communication (MTC) device.

Title: Tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) read head with reduced gap thickness
Inventor: ZHENG GAO
IPC: G11B5/39
Filed: 2015-11-23
Abstract: A tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) read head 200 has a read gap with a reduced thickness. A multilayer seed layer 225 includes a first ferromagnetic seed layer 225a on a lower shield S1, a ferromagnetic NiFe 225b alloy on the first seed layer, and may have a third seed layer 225c of Ru or Pt on the NiFe seed layer.

Title: Liquid crystal medium composition
Inventor: ZHONG XINHUI
IPC: C09K19/54
Filed: 2013-09-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal medium composition. The liquid crystal medium composition comprises the following components: a negative liquid crystal material, a stabilizer, one or multiple types of polymerizable monomers that can carry out a polymerization reaction under irradiation of ultraviolet light and a photoinitiator that can carry out a polymerization reaction. A general structural formula of the polymerizable monomers comprises an aromatic ring and at least one polymerizable group that is connected to the aromatic ring. A benzene ring or a cyclohexane is added to a structural formula of the photoinitiator that can carry out the polymerization reaction in the liquid crystal medium composition of the present invention. Compared with an existing photoinitiator, a molecular structure thereof has a larger conjugated system. Therefore, an absorption wavelength range of the photoinitiator that can carry out the polymerization reaction to the ultraviolet light is widened, and thus absorption strength is increased. When initiating the polymerization reaction, the photoinitiator greatly improves an initiation efficiency because energy of the ultraviolet light is better used.
