Filed: 2014-12-24
Abstract: A two-way door with a two-way door closer structure comprises a three-in-one framework having two frames and one leaf, thus a unique door cheek structure which in fact features one frame and two leaves is formed, leading to flexible opening directions. Through the use of a door-in-door structure of the two-way door, two solid doors, i.e. a large door (A) and a small door (B) contained in the large door (A), are formed. Particularly, a two-way door closer (7) is used for controlling the functions of the two door leaves that are opened in a unidirectional manner. The door cheek can be opened and closed at will in a two-way manner, and the most flexible function that people push the door in any direction for escape and close the door for fire prevention can be achieved.

IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2017-08-11
Abstract: A method of downlink data transmission comprises defining a mini-slot of at least one control OFDM symbol and at least one data symbol, wherein DMRS are encoded on one or both symbols, the DMRS being shared between the control and data symbols. Only one pilot symbol may be encoded on each sub-carrier. The control information may only occupy a sub-set of carriers of the control symbol, the remaining carriers carrying data. The control symbol may occupy fewer frequency resources than the data symbol, wherein DMRS for frequency resources used only by the data symbol are encoded on the data symbol. The control and data symbols may be transmitted using the same antenna port(s). The mini-slot may be transmitted on a plurality of antenna ports, the data symbol using more ports than the control symbol. The DMRS may comprise two sequences, the first spanning the control symbol and the second spanning the data symbol for frequencies not covered by the first sequence. Overhead and spectral efficiency of pilot signal transmission in mini-slots is improved by sharing the reference signals for control and data channels.

Inventor: FREDRIK WALLIN
IPC: F01D25/30
Filed: 2017-11-07
Abstract: Turbine rear structure for a gas turbine engine, comprising a central hub and a circumferential outer ring, a first group of primary guide vanes or struts 1, 2 extending between hub and ring and a second group of intermediate guide vanes 13 asymmetrically located between adjacent primary vanes. Preferably the intermediate guide vanes are positioned closer to primary vane 2, which is upstream in the direction of the swirling exhaust gas flow, more preferably at 1/3rd of the distance between the upstream 2 and downstream 1 primary vanes, plus or minus 1/6th thereof.

IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 2018-01-08
Abstract: A paging message to a UE in a cellular wireless communications network comprises a service indication indicating the service to which the paging message relates. On receipt of the message, the UE determines whether the currently camped-on cell can support the required service. If not, a cell reselection process is initiated. The paging message may comprise a UNI (UE-Network Slice Identification) which corresponds to at least one allowed S-NSSAI (single network slice selection assistance information). Alternatively the paging message comprises an S-TMSI corresponding to a service to be provided to the UE. A connection establishment message may be received from the UE and the network determines whether a service to be provided to the UE using the requested connection can be provided by the resources or cell to which the UE is connected. If the service cannot be provided the connection is refused and the UE is redirected to a resource or cell which can provide the service. The service indication may only be provided if the current cell cannot provide the service.
