Abstract: Mapping information of a bearer or quality of service can be communicated from a Wireless Local Area Network Termination (WT) to the enhanced Node B (eNB), which then uses radio resource control (RRC) signaling to communicate the mapping to the user equipment (UE). For example, three options can be used to communicate mapping information: (1) Operations and Management (OAM), (2) Semi-static Xw-AP signaling (e.g., WT Configuration Update or Xw Setup procedures) or (3) Dynamic Xw-AP procedures (e.g., WT Addition Request procedure). In some embodiments, the mapping can be signaled by (1) bearer to wireless local area networks (WLAN) access category (AC) mapping or (2) long term evolution (LTE) quality of service class identifier (QCI) to WLAN AC mapping.

The method further includes determining, based on the location and orientation of the mobile device, an object in the enclosure that the mobile device is pointing to. The mobile device further includes transmitting a message to the mobile device in response to determining that the mobile device is pointing to the object, so as to cause the mobile device to display a user interface to allow the mobile device to control the object.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels such as liquid crystal display pixels. The display may include short pixel rows that span only partially across the display and full-width pixel rows that span the width of the display. The gate lines coupled to the short pixel rows may extend into the inactive area of the display. Supplemental gate line loading structures may be located in the inactive area of the display to increase loading on the gate lines that are coupled to short pixel rows. The supplemental gate line loading structures may include data lines and doped polysilicon that overlap the gate lines in the inactive area. In displays that combine display and touch functionality into a thin-film transistor layer, supplemental loading structures may be used in the inactive area to increase loading on common voltage lines that are coupled to short rows of common voltage pads.

Abstract: A network device such as an evolved NodeB (eNB) or next generation NodeB (gNB) can configure a set of user equipment (UE) to identify high speed train (HST) cell or high speed rail (HSR) dedicated longer term evolution (LTE) (HSDN) cells associated with a train or train station from a public LTE network. A UE can perform selection/reselection/handover operations to the HST LTE network cells with a higher priority based on various criteria, including a high mobility state of the UE, a marker, a cell ID, a measurement report comparison, or a location. Mobility state estimation of an HSDN cell can be based on a weight broadcast in a system information or system information block (SIB) of HSDN cell. A network load can further be considered in order to better serve high speed rail network conditions for users.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to hue preservation post processing for highlight recovery of an input image. Intensity values for multiple color channels of a plurality of color channels of a pixel of the input image is determined using corresponding ratios of target hues for the plurality of color channels of the pixel, wherein the pixel has at least one color channel with an intensity above a predetermined threshold. A hue preserved value for a color channel of the plurality of color channels of the pixel is determined using intensity values determined for the plurality of color channels of the pixel and the target hues. A recovered version of the input image is generated by adjusting hue information of the pixel, using the hue preserved value for the channel of the plurality of color channels of the pixel.

In response to detecting the touch input, the device, in accordance with a determination that the touch input is at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that is associated with a first intensity model of a plurality of different intensity models, processes the touch input in accordance with an intensity applied by the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and the first intensity model without generating a tactile output; and, in accordance with a determination that the touch input is at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that is associated with a second intensity model different from the first intensity model, processes the touch input in accordance with an intensity applied by the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and the second intensity model, including conditionally generating a tactile output.

Abstract: An incoming image stream may be obtained from an image capture device operating in low-light conditions and/or a simulated long exposure image capture mode. As images are obtained, a weighting operation may be performed on the pixels of the captured images to generate and/or update an accumulative weight map, wherein the weighting is based, e.g., on the proximity of the captured pixels' values to the respective image capture device's maximum observable pixel value. As batches of images are obtained, they may be fused, e.g., according to the accumulative weight map, in a memory-efficient manner that places an upper limit on the overall memory footprint of the fusion operations, to simulate an actual long exposure image capture. In some embodiments, the weight map may be stored at a lower resolution than the obtained images and then upscaled, e.g., via the use of guided filters, before being applied in the fusion operations.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for terahertz spectroscopy and imaging in dynamic environments. In an embodiment, a method comprises emitting a continuous electromagnetic (EM) wave in a terahertz (THz) frequency band into a dynamic environment. The EM THz wave is reflected off an object in the environment. A spectral response of a received signal indicative of the reflected EM wave is determined that includes absorption spectra at a frequency in the THz frequency band. The absorption spectra is indicative of a transmission medium in the environment. The spectral response of the received signal is compensated for fixed and frequency-specific losses. The compensated absorption spectra is compared with known absorption spectra of target transmission mediums. Based on results of the comparing, a particular target transmission medium is identified as being the transmission medium in the environment. The absorption spectra loss is used to determine a concentration level of the target transmission medium.

Abstract: One exemplary implementation facilitates object detection using multiple scans of an object in different conditions. For example, a first scan of the object can be created by capturing images of the object by moving an image sensor on a first path in a first condition, e.g., bright lighting. A second scan of the object can then be created by capturing additional images of the object by moving the image sensor on a second path in a second condition, e.g., dim lighting. Implementations determine a transform that associates the scan data from these multiple scans to one another and use the transforms to generate a 3D model of the object in a single coordinate system. Augmented content can be positioned relative to that object in the single coordinate system and thus will be displayed in the appropriate location regardless of the condition in which the physical object is later detected.
