Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for artificial intelligence-based filtering of user devices on a wireless network. Upon a request from a user device to access a requested network service, a trustlet executed in a trusted execution environment of the user device is activated. The trustlet provides data associated with the user device. The data is used to distinguish normal from anomalous device behavior. Analysis of the data can be facilitated by an artificial intelligence module. Based on the analysis, the requested network service may be selectively authorized or prohibited. Additionally, the trustlet can be activated while a network service is being utilized by a user device to detect anomalous and potentially deceptive activity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein which dynamically provide an optimized mechanism for switching uplink waveforms within a cellular network. An uplink profile generally indicates a number of transmission ports and what uplink waveform is used by a user device to transmit to a base station. A power headroom, channel conditions, and signal to interference plus noise ratio are used to modify the uplink profile. These inputs may be compared to upper and lower threshold values to provide optimal conditions to switch from a Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing waveform (CP-OFDM) to a Direct Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing waveform (DFT-s-OFDM).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically adjust the policies used within a core network. These policies are determine based on the identification of a user device being a reduced capability device and the data requirements for that device. A correlation between the type of reduced capability device and the data requirements is used to derive data-drive insights using a near-real time RAN intelligence controller. The data used to determine these insights and policies are based near-real time sources.

Abstract: A system for thermal regulation of a nebulizer is provided that is structured to deliver a chilled mist to the snout, muzzle, beak, or trunk of an animal. The system includes a container to house a nebulizer and a thermal material together and a mask to deliver the chilled mist to an animal. The thermal material acts to chill a liquid located inside the nebulizer in order to deliver a chilled mist to the animal for therapeutic purposes, such as initiating therapeutic hypothermia, or treating various respiratory illnesses such as croup, laryngobronchitis, and smoke inhalation.

The moveable walls can be configured to move at a predetermined speed such that the plurality of livestock enter the enclosure as offspring, are reared in the enclosure, and are directed through the enclosure exit into the passageway approximately when the plurality of livestock have reached slaughter weight.

Abstract: An annuloplasty ring includes an elastic elongated core having first regions and second regions, wherein the first regions are more stretchable than the second regions and are adapted for positioning at the commissures of a target native heart valve. The first regions and the second regions may enable the annuloplasty ring to both re-establish coaptation of the leaflets of a diseased native heart valve and establish a seal around a prosthetic replacement heart to prevent paravalvular leakage after a “Valve In Ring Procedure”.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ambient electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chip reader-writer devices are provided that selectively control RF parameters of electro-magnetic (EM) signals transmitted to an AEPH chip. In embodiments, the selection of which RF parameter configuration is applied when transmitting an EM signal is determined by an RF parameter selection processor based on the function being invoked from the AEPH chip. In one embodiment, an AEPH chip reader-writer selects a first configuration of radio frequency (RF) parameters from a plurality of RF parameters based on a determination of a first operation for execution by an ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip; configures an RF transmit path circuit to use the first configuration of RF parameters; and initiates execution of the first operation in the ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip by transmitting via the RF transmit path circuit a first electromagnetic signal using the first configuration of RF parameters.

Abstract: In emergency or search-and-rescue operations, user devices such as phones may transmit signals that indicate people may be located nearby. The signals can be detected by one or more rover devices, which can explore dangerous terrain for indications of people to be rescued. The user devices can activate an application that conserves battery power while emitting a signal, in some cases in a round robin configuration to further conserve power. The rover devices, or other devices that make contact with the user devices, can collect and manipulate data about the user devices to aid a rescue operation.
