Abstract: A Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may capture views of the world around a user using multiple resolutions. The Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may include one or more cameras configured to capture lower resolution image data for a peripheral field of view while capturing higher resolution image data for a narrow field of view corresponding to a user's line of sight. Additionally, the Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may also include one or more sensors or other mechanisms, such as gaze tracking modules or accelerometers, to detect or track motion. A Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may also predict, based on a user's head and eye motion, the user's future line of sight and may capture image data corresponding to a predicted line of sight. When the user subsequently looks in that direction the system may display the previously captured (and augmented) view.

Abstract: Embodiments use the principles of self-organizing networks to allocate resources to allow spectrum owners to share spectrum with wireless carriers according to defined license conditions. A spectrum licensee holds the licensing conditions of the spectrum licensed by the spectrum owners. This licensed spectrum is referred to as secondary spectrum. A self-organizing network server requests access to secondary spectrum. The spectrum licensee grants access to the secondary spectrum along with the licensing conditions for access. The self-organizing network server monitors the conditions associated with the license and/or delegates the responsibility for monitoring conditions associated with the license to others. When the license conditions are met, enhanced Node B systems may begin using the secondary spectrum according to the license conditions. When the license conditions are no longer met, enhanced Node B systems discontinue use of the secondary spectrum.

Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a fixed value; initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and shift the PN sequence by another part of the initialization parameters. Some embodiments may be to initialize the first M-sequence of the PN sequence with a part of the initialization parameters; and initialize the second M-sequence of the PN sequence with another part of the initialization parameters. The embodiments may lead to a more efficient hardware design.

Abstract: A power converter includes a current-monitoring on-state controller that is configured to adjust the timing of a switch-mode voltage conversion stage of the power converter. For example, the timing of the turn-on of a MOSFET associated with a buck converter operated in a discontinuous conduction mode (e.g., quasi-resonant) can be adjusted based on a zero crossing of current through a tank inductor also associated with the buck converter. More particularly, the MOSFET may be turned on after a predetermined delay is initiated after current through the tank inductor reaches zero. The predetermined delay is based on a resonance period defined by the characteristic capacitance of the MOSFET and the inductance of the tank inductor.

A result is determined based on the primary actionable intent. The result is provided to the user. A recognition correction trigger is detected.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to receive system information change notifications from an eNodeB is disclosed. The UE can receive one or more system information (SI) change notifications that indicate a change has occurred in one or more system information blocks (SIBs). The UE can receive a SIB1 that is associated with a value tag, and the SIB1 can include a bit-map that indicates which of the one or more SIBs include a change. The UE can compare the value tag associated with the SIB1 with a value tag stored at the UE. The UE can obtain scheduling information for the one or more SIBs that include a change according to the bitmap when the value tag associated with the SIB1 does not equal to the value tag stored at the UE. The UE can retrieve the SIBs that include a change using the scheduling information.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide several novel methods for generating a navigation presentation that displays a device navigating a route on a map. The method of some embodiments uses a virtual camera that, based on detected changes in the navigation context, dynamically modifies the way it captures portions of the map to produce different navigation scenes in the navigation presentation. To generate the navigation scenes, the method of some embodiments (1) identifies different sets of attributes that describe the different navigation contexts at different times during the navigation presentation, and (2) uses these different sets of attributes to identify different styles for operating the virtual camera. In some embodiments, the method uses an identified style to specify the virtual camera's positional attributes, which, in turn, define the portions of the map that the virtual camera identifies for rendering to produce several navigation scenes for a period of time (e.g.
