  • Publication number: 20240089157
    Abstract: Techniques pertaining to physical-layer (PHY) parameter designs enabling resource unit (RU) duplication and tone repetition for next-generation wireless local area networks (WLANs) are described. An apparatus (e.g., station (STA)) generates an RU or multi-RU (MRU). The apparatus then performs a wireless communication with the RU or MRU. In generating the RU or MRU, the apparatus codes a spatial stream using a binary convolutional coding (BCC) interleaver or a low-density parity-check (LDPC) tone mapper. In performing the wireless communication, the apparatus performs the wireless communication with RU duplication or tone repetition in a frequency domain.

  • Publication number: 20240074771
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, engaging an interventional device of a catheter system with clot material in a blood vessel and withdrawing the interventional device and the portion of the clot material through a guide catheter. In some embodiments, the catheter system can include an attachment/valve member coupled to a proximal portion of the guide catheter, and the method can include unsealing the attachment/valve member to facilitate withdrawing the interventional device through the attachment/valve member without significant retention of clot material within the attachment/valve member.

  • Publication number: 20240070395
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each phrase word of a phrase to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a phrase word of the phrase. The method further includes obtaining sensor information for one or more phrase words of the phrase. The method further includes selecting an identigen of a first set of identigens based on the sensor information to produce a first identigen selection for the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of one or more different meanings of the first phrase word. The method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens of the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group so that the entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase.

    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for predicting molecular electronic structural information. According to one embodiment, quantum simulation results are generated for a molecule based on a quantum simulation of an electronic structure of the molecule. The quantum simulation of the electronic structure of the molecule is performed with quantum processing units. An input vector comprising data field values derived from the quantum simulation results for the molecule is created. An electronic structural information prediction model is applied to generate, based at least in part on the input vector, predicted electronic structural information for the molecule.

  • Publication number: 20240069742
    Abstract: One aspect of the application can provide a system and method for replacing a failing node with a spare node in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system. During operation, in response to determining that a node-migration condition is met, the system can initialize a node controller of the spare node such that accesses to a memory local to the spare node are to be processed by the node controller, quiesce the failing node and the spare node to allow state information of processors on the failing node to be migrated to processors on the spare node, and subsequent to unquiescing the failing node and the spare node, migrate data from the failing node to the spare node while maintaining cache coherence in the NUMA system and while the NUMA system remains in operation, thereby facilitating continuous execution of processes previously executed on the failing node.

  • Patent number: 11916846
    Abstract: A method pertaining to leftover bits processing for proportional round-robin resource unit (RU) parsing in extreme high-throughput (EHT) systems involves processing a stream of bits to provide processed bits. The method also involves transmitting the processed bits to a station (STA) over a combination of multiple resource units (RUs) assigned to the STA. In processing the stream of bits, the method may involve parsing the stream of bits to the combination of multiple RUs. Moreover, in an event of leftover bits remaining from the parsing, the method may further involve distributing the leftover bits to one or more RUs but not all RUs of the combination of multiple RUs.

  • Patent number: 11917551
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to methods and electronic devices capable of performing coordinate spatial reuse for wirelessly transmitting data on a channel in coordination with another wireless AP operating an overlapping BSS using the same wireless channel. The device can perform RSSI measurements and generate Per-RU RSSI reports including the RSSI measurements information for transmission to another wireless AP. The RSSI measurement can be performed by the device based on power levels detected when receiving TB PPDUs transmitted by wireless STAs responsive to trigger frames, for example. Based on the Per-RU RSSI report, a wireless AP can be configured to transmit data to an associated wireless STA without causing significant interference when another AP of the overlapping BSS is also transmitting, and can schedule frames for transmission from associated wireless STAs accordingly.
