Abstract: embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication. a terminal device receives, from a network device, a first configuration for a set of ul resources, and determines a time window for the set of ul resources. the time window is associated with a drx cycle. an ul resource within the time window in the set of ul resources is used for an ul transmission and an ul resource outside the time window in the set of ul resources is invalid for transmission. the uplink transmission comprises at least one of a scheduling request, a buffer status report, or a configured grant uplink transmission. in this way, an ul resource may be determined based on a time window associated with a drx cycle, and a ul triggered drx may be achieved. thus, an alignment between dl and ul transmissions may be facilitated and power saving may be improved.

Abstract: a method of a communication apparatus includes sending a first message. the first message includes single network slice selection assistance information (s-nssai). the method includes receiving a second message in a case where the s-nssai is not used for a time period. the second message includes the s-nssai and a reject cause indicating that the s-nssai is not used for the time period. the time period is associated with the s-nssai. the method includes sending a third message to remove the s-nssai from an allowed network slice selection assistance information (nssai). the third message includes the s-nssai and the reject cause.

IPC Code(s): H05K7/20

CPC Code(s): H05K7/20236



Abstract: an immersion cooling apparatus includes a pressure vessel including a vessel body and at least one lid. the at least one lid is detachably joined to the vessel body, wherein a certain lid of the at least one lid has a coolant outlet and a coolant inlet. the pressure vessel is filled with liquid coolant. a mounting member places the circuit board at a position between the coolant outlet and the coolant inlet within the pressure vessel. the circuit board is immersed in the liquid coolant within the pressure vessel such the circuit board is surrounded with the liquid coolant. the liquid coolant forcedly flows from one side of the circuit board to outside through the coolant outlet and forcedly flows into the other side of the circuit board from outside through the coolant inlet.
