Abstract: A wireless device receives, via at least one of one or more first monitoring occasions, a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling an uplink shared channel transmission. The wireless device receives, via a second monitoring occasion of second monitoring occasions, a repetition of a second DCI indicating transmission of an acknowledgement feedback. The wireless device sets the acknowledgement feedback to a negative acknowledgement (NACK) value based on a start of the second monitoring occasions being after a start of the one or more first monitoring occasions. The wireless device transmits, in the uplink shared channel transmission, the acknowledgement feedback.

Abstract: Monitoring patient compliance with a compression therapy regimen. Venous Refill Time (VRT) is monitored via a pressure sensor in a bladder of a compression system. A controller of the compression system correlates the monitored VRT to a predetermined threshold to determine whether the patient is using the compression system.

Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes a lens element supported by a support structure. The lens element includes a waveguide that includes an incoupler, an outcoupler, and an exit pupil expander. The incoupler is disposed within a first area of the waveguide. The outcoupler is disposed within a second area of the waveguide. The exit pupil expander is disposed within a third area of the waveguide. An anti-reflection coating is formed via fabrication used to form the incoupler, the outcoupler, and the exit pupil expander. The anti-reflection coating is disposed within a fourth area of the waveguide different than the first, second, and third areas of the waveguide.

Abstract: A capacitor provides a plurality of selectable capacitance values, by selective connection of six capacitor sections of a capacitive element each having a capacitance value. The capacitor sections are provided in a plurality of wound cylindrical capacitive elements. Two vertically stacked wound cylindrical capacitance elements may each provide three capacitor sections. There may be six separately wound cylindrical capacitive elements each providing a capacitor section. The capacitor sections have a common element terminal. A pressure interrupter cover assembly is sealingly secured to the open end of case for the elements and has a deformable cover with a centrally mounted common cover terminal and a plurality of section cover terminals mounted at spaced apart locations. A conductor frangibly connects the common element terminal of the capacitor section to the common cover terminal and conductors respectively frangibly connect the capacitor section terminals to the section cover terminals.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing query operations on run length encoding (RLE), data in a parallel processing computing system. Data for query execution is received at a parallel processing computing system, at least a portion of the data being compressed according to RLE, thereby forming RLE data; and a query operation is executed on the RLE data without performing a decompression operation on the RLE data.

Abstract: This invention provides a framework that allows for tool-free removal and subsequent replacement of conveyor idlers. The opposing framework uprights, which support outboard ends of each idler, respectively, include hinged axle holders/mounts that can be selectively swung into engagement with, and out of engagement with the axle ends. In this manner, the opposing outer idlers can be disengaged from each, respective, outboard axle holder and then slid out of corresponding inboard axle holders, which each define a socket for receiving the inboard axle end. Each hinged, outboard axle holder can be secured in an engaged orientation with the corresponding axle end using a pin, or other fastener that removably interengages with a lower, fixed portion of the outboard upright, where the two members overlap. The central idler is held in place in keyed slots in central uprights. The framework can define an equal troughing, unequal troughing or channel inset troughing framework arrangement.

Abstract: A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed configured to run on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to and perform operations: receiving a command from a user; transforming, using a trained machined learning model, the command by detecting an intent to add one or more recipe ingredients; determining a recipe from a set of recipes; determining one or more items and one or more quantities or sizes of the one or more items; selecting a respective quantity or size from quantities or sizes of available items of the one or more items, wherein the respective quantity or size, as selected, is overruled when a different quantity or size preference is indicated by the user; and automatically adding to the shopping cart the one or more items. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: An extension conduit for use with a system for aspirating thrombus includes a passageway extending between a distal end and a proximal end of the extension conduit, and a combined hydraulic and electrical control carried on the extension conduit and configured to be activated by a user to activate an electric switch while opening a valve to allow flow through the passageway.

Abstract: A user device operating in dual-mode connectivity with a master node and a secondary node detects a failure of a secondary cell group associated with the secondary node (1104). In response, the user device suspends an secondary cell group transmission (1106). The user device generates a message related to a status of the SCG for transmission to the MN (1108) and transmitting the message to the MN when the SCG transmission is suspended (1110).

Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for managing an electrical system. One method involves identifying a current condition associated with an energy source coupled to an electrical grid, identifying a current operating state associated with the vehicle electrical system, determining an adjusted control target for the energy source to increase availability of the energy source based at least in part on the current condition and the current operating state, identifying a control scheme for the energy source based at least in part on the current condition associated with the energy source, and autonomously operating the vehicle electrical system in a manner that is influenced by the adjusted control target in accordance with the identified control scheme.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing is provided, including forming a metal frame of a head-mounted computing device shaped as a pair of eyeglasses. Forming the metal frame may include additively manufacturing the metal frame of the head-mounted computing device by performing laser sintering on aluminum powder or titanium powder. Forming the metal frame may further include removing an outer surface of the metal frame via a reductive process.

Abstract: Methods are provided to prepare a low sulfur fuel from hydrocarbon sources, such as light tight oil and high sulfur fuel oil, often less desired by conventional refiners, who split crude into a wide range of differing products and may prefer presence of wide ranges (C3 or C5 to C20 or higher) of hydrocarbons. These fuels can be produced by separating feeds into untreated and treated streams, and then recombining them. Such fuels can also be formulated by combinations of light, middle and heavy range constituents in a selected manner as claimed. Not only low in sulfur, the fuels of this invention are also low in nitrogen and essentially metals free. Fuel use applications include on-board large marine transport vessels but also on-shore for large land based combustion gas turbines, boilers, fired heaters and transport vehicles and trains.

Abstract: A torque transfer member having a strengthened fluid port and a method of making the same. The torque transfer member includes a body member formed of a steel alloy and is rotatable about a rotational axis. The body member includes an external surface, an interior surface defining a fluid passageway extending through the body, and a fluid port in communication with the fluid passageway. The fluid port includes a port surface connecting the external surface of the body to the interior surface of the fluid passageway. A compressive load above a yield point of the steel alloy is applied to the port surface by using a steel mandrel having a hardness of greater than 60 HRC. The body member is subjected to a heat treated process to form a hardened case after the compressive load is removed from the port surface.
