  • Publication number: 20190178783
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may relate generally to a micro airflow generator which does not use fan(s) or a heater to generate airflow (for example in a compact optical PM sensor). Rather, disclosed embodiments typically may use induced movement of a membrane/diaphragm element to generate air flow (wherein movement of the membrane in turn induces movement in air). For example, a membrane or diaphragm element could be driven by an (electronic) actuator element, such as an electro-magnetic actuator or piezo disc bender (or some other means of vibrating/moving the membrane element in a way which induced airflow). In some embodiments, the electro-magnetic actuator itself may include a membrane (such that the electro-magnetic actuator might encompass the membrane and the electronic actuator element, such as a magnet and corresponding coil) and/or the piezo disc bender might serve as both the membrane/diaphragm and the electronic actuator element.

  • Publication number: 20190110182
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for performing a public warning system (PWS) function. In the context of a method, a warning message is received via a first interface. The warning message is provided by a cell broadcast entity. The method includes transforming the warning message. The method further includes causing the warning message, as transformed, to be transmitted via a second interface, different than the first interface, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) for transmission to a radio access network.

  • Patent number: 10212594
    Abstract: An authentication server establishes a network connection to user equipment (UE) in a non-3GPP compliant access network. The authentication server obtains an identity for the UE and determines that the UE is unauthenticated and requesting establishment through a non-3GPP compliant access network. The authentication server negotiates a connection mode with the unauthenticated UE and negotiates connection parameters for the connection mode with the unauthenticated UE. The authentication server may then establish a network connection through the non-3GPP compliant access network to the UE.

  • Publication number: 20190037441
    Abstract: A non-access stratum (NAS) control protocol includes procedures for control plane cellular internet of things (CP-CIoT) service requests and attach request. UE in idle mode may transmit an NAS service request message including user data to a mobility management entity (MME) over the control plane. The MME extracts the user data from the NAS service request message and determines a type of the user data. The MME may forward non-IP data to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) and forward IP data to a packet gateway.

  • Publication number: 20190028931
    Abstract: A method is provided for quality of service differentiation via a trusted wireless local area network. The method comprises determining if a multi-connection mode is available between a user equipment and the trusted wireless local area network. In an instance in which the multi-connection mode is available, the method further comprises establishing a packet data network connection between the user equipment and the trusted local area network to connect the user equipment to a core network with a default bearer, and establishing one or more additional bearers with a quality of service characteristic and a quality of service mapping. Data traffic may be transmitted over the default bearer and the one or more additional bearers according to a differentiated quality of service based on the quality of service characteristic and the quality of service mapping. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Publication number: 20180285953
    Abstract: A content provider can provide content, such as advertisements or other promotional material, to a recipient. A distribution system of the content provider can receive a query and select one or more advertisements and a user interface for presenting the advertisements based on the query, information associated with the user, a set of queries received from the user, and/or other information. A model for selecting the user interface can be generated by serving available user interfaces randomly or pseudo-randomly and monitoring user interaction with the served user interfaces. The model can be updated during regular use based on the performance of the user interfaces.

  • Publication number: 20180139692
    Abstract: User equipment receives and stores configuration information for selection of an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG). The ePDG configuration information includes one or more parameters relating to identification and functions of ePDGs in an HPLMN and/or in one or more VPLMNs. When the UE performs ePDG selection, the UE accesses the ePDG configuration information and then selects an ePDG for access to a core packet network using the ePDG configuration information.
