Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for enhancing a relay node with additional backhaul alternatives and selection are provided. One system includes a first base station (BS) and backhaul user equipment (bUE) devices that communicate with the first BS through a first communication technology, and communicate with a data network through a second communication technology. A second base station (BS) communicates with the first BS and a second data network. The first BS is operative to communicate with user equipment (UE) devices, and network connect the UE devices to the data network or the second data network, select the bUE devices or the second BS for backhaul (BH) traffic, aid in selecting the transmission power level of the bUE devices or the UE devices, and transmit resource block (RB) scheduling information for the BH traffic transmission of the bUE devices and access traffic of the UE devices.

Abstract: Keyboard systems and methods are provided herein. In one embodiment, an overlay keyboard for touch screen devices includes a physical keyboard that can be mounted onto a touch screen device (e.g., a corded touch screen device or a touch screen mobile device) that provides a virtual keyboard (e.g., a software displayed touch screen), in which the physical keyboard can be overlaid onto the virtual keyboard of the touch screen device. When no key of the physical keyboard is pressed down, the physical keyboard does not trigger the touch screen of the touch screen device. When a key of the physical keyboard is pressed down, the physical keyboard touches the touch screen on a corresponding key of the virtual keyboard on the touch screen device, thereby causing the touch screen to detect that the corresponding key of the virtual keyboard has been pressed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for targeting diseased tissue with a radiation beam. Functional models can be used to accurately obtain a location of specific tissue using sensors at identifiable locations of the patient's body. Using the relative distances between the identifiable sensor locations can allow a patient to be in various positions. The functional models can be prepared using accurate pre-treatment scans, which can be taken at various body positions (e.g., rotations and/or translations). The trajectory of the beam can be measured efficiently and accurately using beam sensors attached to a beam assembly, where a model maps the beam sensor locations to a trajectory of the beam. Further, a motion model can use measurements made during treatment to obtain a time-dependent functions of the movement of the specific tissue, the change of an optimal beam trajectory over time, or the change in input commands to a beam positioner.
