Abstract: A ride vehicle control system for a ride vehicle of an attraction includes multiple sensors that are configured to monitor a guest supported by the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system also includes an actuator system configured to couple to the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system further includes one or more processors that are configured to receive signals from the multiple sensors, wherein the signals are indicative of a position of the guest, a movement of the guest, or both. The one or more processors are also configured to determine an intended movement for the ride vehicle based on the signals and to control the actuator system to adjust a resistance to movement of the ride vehicle to facilitate the intended movement.

Abstract: A node of a computing system includes a main memory and a plurality of processing core resources. The main memory includes a computing device section and a database section. The computing device section includes a computing device operating system area and a computing device general area. The database section includes a database section that includes a database operating system area, a disk area, a network area, and a database general area. The database operating system area allocates at least one portion of the main memory for database operations that is locked from access by the computing device operating system area.
Abstract: Communication systems, methods, and non-transitory machine-readable storage media are disclosed herein. A communication system may include a communication device configured to receive a video stream including sign language content and any content indicators associated with the video stream during a real-time communication session within a single communication device or between a plurality of communication devices. The communication system may also include a translation engine configured to automatically translate the sign language content into word content during the real-time communication session without assistance of a human sign language interpreter. Further, the communication system may be configured to output the word content translation to a communication device during the real-time communication session.
Abstract: An N-bit reflectarray unit cell is disclosed comprising a first part of a first dipole and a second part of the first dipole, and a first switch for connecting and disconnecting the first part of the first dipole to and from the second part of the first dipole. The unit cell further comprises a first part of a second dipole and a second part of the second dipole, and a second switch for connecting and disconnecting the first part of the second dipole to and from the second part of the second dipole.

Abstract: A method of partitioning a video coding block for JVET, comprising representing a JVET coding tree unit as a root node in a quadtree plus binary tree (QTBT) structure that can have a quadtree branching from the root node and binary trees branching from each of the quadtree's leaf nodes using asymmetric binary partitioning to split a coding unit represented by a quadtree leaf node into two child coding units of unequal size, representing the two child coding units as leaf nodes in a binary tree branching from the quadtree leaf node and coding the child coding units represented by leaf nodes of the binary tree with JVET, wherein further partitioning of child coding units split from quadtree leaf nodes via asymmetric binary partitioning is disallowed.
Abstract: A method is provided that broadcasts channels to set top boxes (STB), processes them, and makes them available in ABR streaming format to clients in a home network. The method includes the steps of: transmitting a plurality of streams for each channel broadcast, wherein each stream is at a different bitrate and is segmentable into chunks; receiving the plurality of streams for one or more channels at the STB; and storing a plurality of segmentable chunk durations for each of the plurality of streams for each channel received. In some embodiments, HLS is packaged as MPEG transport without a manifest file, and a set top box (STB) caches HLS chunks for at least the consumer's most viewed channels, reducing acquisition time of those HLS streams. The STB reconstitutes the HLS playlist and chunks for delivery throughout the home.
Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing system for fracturing a subterranean formation is disclosed. In an embodiment, the system may include a plurality of electric pumps fluidly connected to a well associated with the subterranean formation and powered by at least one electric motor, and configured to pump fluid into a wellbore associated with the well at a high pressure so that the fluid passes from the wellbore into the subterranean formation and fractures the subterranean formation; at least one generator electrically coupled to the plurality of electric pumps so as to generate electricity for use by the plurality of electric pumps; and at least one switchgear electrically coupled to the at least one generator and configured to distribute an electrical load between the plurality of electric pumps and the at least one generator.
Abstract: Systems and methods for application identification in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user device includes a processor and memory configured to store an application, a session manager, an application identifier, and at least one shared library, and the processor is configured by the session manager to communicate the application identifier and the application identifier data to an authentication server and permit the execution of the application in response to authentication of the application by the authentication server.

Abstract: A wireless device transmits a capability information message indicating a first switching period associated with a first band pair with a first band and a second band, and a second switching period associated with a second band pair with a third band and a fourth band. The wireless device receives configuration parameters of one or more cells indicating dual uplink for uplink switching is configured for at least two uplink carriers of the first band pair and the second band pair. A wireless device determines, based on the dual uplink, to transmit a first uplink transmission on the second band. The first band is switched to the second band on a first transmitter, and the third band and the fourth band on a second transmitter. The wireless device omits the first uplink transmission during a larger of the first switching period and the second switching period.
Abstract: A wireless device receives, from an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node, backhaul link failure information indicating a radio link failure between an IAB donor node and the IAB node. The wireless device transmits a radio link failure report indicating the backhaul link failure between the IAB donor node and the IAB node as causing a failure of a connection between the wireless device and the IAB donor node.

Abstract: A method may include transmitting a downlink frame that is eliciting a response from a plurality of stations, the downlink frame including a first address field, receiving an uplink frame in response to the downlink frame, the uplink frame including a second address field, and receiving the uplink frame on a resource allocated by resource allocation information included in the downlink frame for an uplink multi-user transmission. The second address field is set to a value of the first address field when the downlink frame is of a first type or a value of an address associated with a station (STA) when the downlink frame is of a second type. The AP simultaneously receives uplink frames in response to the first type of downlink frame, where the AP simultaneously receives uplink data frames.
