Abstract: The subject technology provides for generating a set of nodes representing a tree structure, each node comprising a feature index, a flag field indicating branch directions, an execution index storing locations related to the branch directions, and a feature value for comparing with the value stored in the input feature vector. The subject technology generates evaluation data, the evaluation data comprising a first array containing index values, and a second array containing evaluation values respectively corresponding to the index values, the evaluation data representing values of leaf nodes from the set of nodes. Further, the subject technology stores the set of nodes and the evaluation data as a contiguous block of data, where the set of nodes includes a first node and a second node, the second node corresponding to a likely execution path from the first node being physically stored adjacent to the first node.

Abstract: Embodiments of dynamic multiplexing are described, including the transmission of preemption indication (PI) to indicate preemption of time-frequency resources. In some embodiments, a next Generation NodeB (gNB) is configured to transmit PIs in signaling to preempt an enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) communications transmission with an ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLCC) transmission. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor a region of time-frequency resources, within a bandwidth part (BWP), for a PI. The PI indicates to the UE a portion of time-frequency resources that omit transmissions intended for the UE. In some embodiments, the gNB transmits the PI to the UE within preemption indication downlink control information (PI-DCI) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a control resource set (CORESET). In some embodiments, the BWP is defined according to a frequency domain location, a bandwidth, and a subcarrier spacing for a given numerology.

Abstract: A multi-linkage vehicle door hinge and door hinge system for use in passenger vehicle entry/exit doors. The door hinge includes a first four bar linkage connected to a second four bar linkage. The door hinge operates to move a vehicle door panel between a closed position and an open position along a path of travel in a movement envelope that is parallel to the exterior surface of the vehicle. In one aspect, the door hinge provides twice as much lift as is required to package the door hinge in the vehicle. In another aspect, the door panel further rotates toward the vehicle centerline for applications having low vertical clearance. In another aspect, the door hinge includes a six-bar linkage.

Abstract: An encoder is configured to compress point cloud geometry information using an octree geometric compression technique that utilizes slices corresponding in size to data transmission units. In some embodiments, a subsequent slice may be set to use a re-set entropy context or may be set to use an entropy context saved for a preceding slice. In some embodiments, an entropy context for the preceding slice may be for a slice other than the immediately preceding slice of the subsequent slice being evaluated, such that if the immediately preceding slice is lost in transmission (or if the immediately preceding slice and the subsequent slice are being evaluated in parallel) the subsequent slice's entropy context can still be determined without depending on the immediately preceding slice. A decoder is configured to reconstruct a point cloud based on a bit stream encoded by the encoder.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media are described for providing codec mode notification (CMN) messages for speech to be signaled from a sender to a receiver. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A lighting module which provides adjustably controllable illumination of a camera field of view of a camera module includes an adjustable collimator which can be adjustably positioned such that the emitted light beam is adjustably directed to illuminate various regions of various camera fields of view. The collimator can be adjusted via an actuator which adjustably positions the collimator relative to static components of the lighting module, including the light emitter. The light beam can be directed to illuminate a selected limited region of a camera field of view, based on identification of a subject within the limited region. The light beam can be adjustably directed based on user interactions with a user interface, including adjusting the light beam according to user-commanded beam angle, intensity, and direction. The light beam can be adjustably directed to illuminate a region according to different fields of view of different camera modules.

Abstract: An encoder is configured to compress point cloud geometry information using an octree geometric compression technique that utilizes node groups. Nodes within a node group are scanned according to a breadth first scan order. Sequential node groups to evaluate may be selected according to a breadth first scan order or a depth first scan order based on whether or not the breadth first scan order or the depth first scan order is indicated in a flag in a preceding node group evaluated. In some embodiments, evaluation orders for node groups may be implicit without being signaled via flags. A decoder is configured to reconstruct a point cloud based on a bit stream encoded by the encoder.

Abstract: A downlink control information (DCI), such as a blanking DCI (bDCI) message may be transmitted by a base station (e.g., eNB) and received by a mobile device (e.g., UE). The bDCI may indicate that the eNB will not transmit a subsequent DCI to the UE for a duration of time. The UE may be in continuous reception mode or connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode. The UE may therefore determine to enter a sleep state or take other action. The bDCI may specify an explicit blanking duration, or an index indicating a blanking duration from a lookup table, and/or the blanking duration (and/or a blanking duration offset value) may be determined in advance, e.g., semi-statically. When the UE is in C-DRX mode, the UE may be configured such that either the sleep/wake period of the C-DRX mode or the blanking period of the bDCI may take precedence over the other.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to selecting a number of candidates based on priority. In some embodiments, position determination circuitry receives an input vector that orders a set of potential candidates from a highest-priority position within the input vector to a lowest priority position. In some embodiments, it determines, starting from a first end of the input vector and based on non-overlapping groups of candidates, a particular position within the input vector at which a threshold number of available candidate are found. This may include to generate respective count values within the groups of candidates, identify a transition group in which the particular position is located based on accumulation of the respective count values, and identify the particular position within the transition group. Output circuitry may generate, based on the particular position, an output vector that indicates the threshold number of available candidates from the input vector.
