Title: Uplink pre-emption indication
Inventor: GUANG LIU
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2018-12-13
Abstract: When a UE is in good coverage, a base station transmits a pre-emption indication only if the UE is to be interrupted. A UE in good coverage that does not receive a pre-emption indication assumes no interruption and so continues its uplink transmission. When a UE is in bad coverage, the base station transmits a positive pre-emption indication if the UE is to be interrupted and a negative pre-emption indication if the UE is not to be interrupted. The UE in bad coverage terminates its uplink transmission if no pre-emption indication is received. The UE only monitors for a pre-emption indication at an indicated schedule if it has uplink resources allocated for the period to which the indicated schedule relates. The pre-emption indication comprises an indication of which frequencies and/or symbols will be pre-empted using a resource indication value (RIV) format.

Title: Systems and methods for analyzing fluid from a separator
Inventor: LAURENCE FRASER
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 2015-09-01
Abstract: A method for analyzing the reliability of a measured volumetric flow rate of a fluid in a gas line of a gas liquid separator, the method including measuring a gas volume fraction (GVF) of the fluid in the gas line, comparing the measured gas volume fraction (GVF) of the fluid to a threshold gas volume fraction level, and determining whether the measured volumetric flow rate is reliable based on the comparison. The measurement is determined as reliable if the gas volume fraction (GVF) is above the threshold, and determined as not reliable if the measured gas volume fraction (GVF) is below the threshold. In response to determining the measured gas volume fraction (GVF) is not sufficiently reliable, one or more parameters of the separator are adjusted to increase separation efficiency and lower the amount of liquid carry over in the gas line. Also claimed is an apparatus comprising a Coriolis meter coupled to the gas outlet line of a gas-liquid separator for measuring mass flow rate; and an analysis system to calculate volumetric flow rate and gas volume fraction (GVF) using the mass flow rate measured by the Coriolis meter, and to execute the method for analyzing reliability.
