Display cover panel with partial offset layer
This disclosure describes a protection layer for a display panel that includes layers that are flush with the display panel and a partially offset metal layer. The partially offset metal layer enables laser cutting of the display panel and protection layer, while the flush layers provide additional protection to the display panel. The protection layer includes a metal layer, a foam layer, and an embo layer that are laminated together. The metal layer includes an offset relative to the display panel while the foam and embo layers do not include the offset. A laser cutting process is used to cut the protection layer and display panel. The foam and embo layers are cut along with display panel during the laser cutting process. The foam and embo layers provide protection for the edge region of the display panel
QCD corrections to single slepton production at hadron colliders
We evaluate the cross section for single slepton production at hadron
colliders in supersymmetric theories with R-parity violating interactions to
the next-to-leading order in QCD. We obtain fully differential cross section by
using the phase space slicing method. We also perform soft-gluon resummation to
all order in of leading logarithm to obtain a complete transverse
momentum spectrum of the slepton. We find that the full transverse momentum
spectrum is peaked at a few GeV, consistent with the early results for
Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs. We also consider the contribution from
gluon fusion via quark-triangle loop diagrams dominated by the -quark loop.
The cross section of this process is significantly smaller than that of the
tree-level process induced by the initial annihilation.Comment: one new reference is adde
Nonlocality-controlled interaction of spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals
We demonstrate experimentally that the interactions between a pair of
nonlocal spatial optical solitons in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) can be
controlled by the degree of nonlocality. For a given beam width, the degree of
nonlocality can be modulated by varying the pretilt angle of NLC molecules via
the change of the bias. When the pretilt angle is smaller than pi/4, the
nonlocality is strong enough to guarantee the independence of the interactions
on the phase difference of the solitons. As the pretilt angle increases, the
degree of nonlocality decreases. When the degree is below its critical value,
the two solitons behavior in the way like their local counterpart: the two
in-phase solitons attract and the two out-of-phase solitons repulse.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
Pilot Power Allocation Through User Grouping in Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Systems
In this paper, we propose a relative channel estimation error (RCEE) metric,
and derive closed-form expressions for its expectation and
the achievable uplink rate holding for any number of base station antennas ,
with the least squares (LS) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation
methods. It is found that RCEE and converge to the same
constant value when , resulting in the pilot power
allocation (PPA) is substantially simplified and a PPA algorithm is proposed to
minimize the average per user with a total pilot power
budget in multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output systems.
Numerical results show that the PPA algorithm brings considerable gains for the
LS estimation compared with equal PPA (EPPA), while the gains are only
significant with large frequency reuse factor (FRF) for the MMSE estimation.
Moreover, for large FRF and large , the performance of the LS approaches to
the performance of the MMSE, which means that simple LS estimation method is a
very viable when co-channel interference is small. For the achievable uplink
rate, the PPA scheme delivers almost the same average achievable uplink rate
and improves the minimum achievable uplink rate compared with the EPPA scheme.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Communication
