Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating and operating a speech enhancement model optimized for generating noise-suppressed speech outputs for improved human listening and live captioning. A computing system obtains a speech enhancement model trained on a first training dataset to generate noise-suppressed speech outputs and an automatic speech recognition model trained on a second training dataset to generate transcription labels for spoken language utterances. A third training dataset comprising a set of spoken language utterances is applied to the speech enhancement model to obtain a first noise-suppressed speech output which is applied to the automatic speech recognition model to generate a noise-suppressed transcription output for the set of spoken language utterances.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for self-aligned techniques for forming connections in a memory device are described. A redistribution layer (RDL) for coupling an electrode of a capacitor of a memory cell with a corresponding selector device may be fabricated at a same time or stage as the electrode, using self-aligned techniques. When forming portions of a memory cell, a cavity for the electrode may be etched, and a portion of the RDL that extends from the electrode cavity to a corresponding selector device may also be selectively etched. The resulting cavities may be filled with an electrode material, which may form the electrode and couple the electrode to the corresponding selector device. The resulting memory device may support implementation of a staggered configuration for memory cells, and may include electrodes that share a crystalline structure with one or more corresponding portions of an RDL.

Abstract: Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBS) for user equipments (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle/inactive modes via signally of MBS frequency ranges and/or switching between frequency ranges as required. Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation for MBS in RRC IDLE and RRC INACTIVE states may be implemented using a dedicated MBS BWP or by sharing a frequency range with other operations. An MBS frequency range may be wider or narrower than an initial BWP used by a UE, for example. MBS frequency range configure may be achieved in a number of ways, such as via Control Resource Set (CORESET), search space, and/or PDCCH monitoring occasions pattern settings for MBS in RRC idle/inactive. Downlink scheduling without dynamic grant for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include configured scheduling and/or semi-persistent scheduling.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for remote UE mobility management. Methods are proposed to consider the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when a remote UE is doing the cell (re)selection. A remote UE may select a serving cell considering the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when the remote UE and the Relay UE are in coverage of different cells. The remote UE may detect and reselect a cell via the Uu interface while it has selected a serving cell via a Relay UE. The remote UE may detect and reselect to a cell via a Relay UE while it has selected a serving cell via the Uu interface.

Abstract: Wireless User Equipment, UE, and network apparatuses may be adapted to facilitate continuity of Multicast/Broadcast Service, MBS, across cells. A UE in idle/inactive mode, for example, may receive MBS assistance information comprising scheduling information defining MB S reception windows and perform a cell re selection evaluation process accordingly. An UE in connected mode may conduct and report MB S quality measurements and receive an RRC reconfiguration comprising an MB S configuration for a target cell, determine that MBS transmission progress differs between the source cell and the target cell, and recover lost MBS PDUs or delete duplicate MBS PDUs accordingly. A network apparatus, such as a gNB for example, may map a GPRS Tunneling Protocol Sequence Number of an MBS PDU, to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol Sequence Number in a target cell, and determine an MB S configuration for use by a UE requesting a handover accordingly.

Abstract: Profile based services and content can assist with the backward and forward compatibility of conventional service layers or the like. Using a profile to manage content and access to services offered may reduce the overhead or processing associated with providing those value added services by service layers.

Abstract: A caching entity may store a cached copy of a service layer resource. An original hosting entity may maintain a registry of the corresponding cached resources. Optionally, the original hosting entity may set cache parameters to govern the lifetime of the cache on a caching entity. The caching entity may keep storing the cached copy of the resource and the original hosting entity may obtain statistics about the cached resource. By knowing the statistics, e.g. how many times a resource is retrieved on each caching entity, the original hosting entity may better manage the resource.

Abstract: An Authorization Verification Service (AVS) is disclosed that may be provided by an IoT/M2M service layer to registrants of the service layer for Dynamic Context Aware Authorization. The AVS may allow the IoT/M2M service layer entities to define dynamic limits for authorizing access to services or data. The limits may be set, for example, in terms of the number of allowed accesses. When an IoT/M2M registrant makes a request for data or services for which it has dynamic context aware authorization, the AVS may maintain records of the remaining accesses available.

Abstract: A left atrial appendage occluder (200) comprises a sealing part (220), a fixing part (210) disposed at one side of the sealing part (220), and a connection part (230) for connecting the sealing part (220) and the fixing part (210). The radial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is greater than the radial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210), and/or, the axial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is greater than the axial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210). In the left atrial appendage occluder (200), the radial or axial deformation capacity of the sealing part (220) is configured to be greater than the radial or axial deformation capacity of the fixing part (210), thereby avoiding the situation in which the sealing part (220) is not optimally fitted with the opening of the left atrial appendage (10) when the fixing part (210) is placed inside of the left atrial appendage (10), which in turn enhances the occlusion effect.
