  • Patent number: 11792745
    Abstract: A wireless device may receive one or more messages comprising one or more configuration parameters comprising a pathloss reference signal update parameter that enables an activation command to update pathloss reference signals of an uplink channel. Based on the one or more configuration parameters comprising the pathloss reference signal update parameter, the wireless device may determine, for a power headroom report, a pathloss reference signal mapped to a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI)-physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control parameter set with an SRI-PUSCH power control parameter set index equal to zero. The wireless device may transmit the power headroom report computed based on a pathloss estimation of the pathloss reference signal.

  • Patent number: 11791018
    Abstract: Described is a system for automatically identifying chemical properties of a molecule. A chemical representation of a molecular structure is converted into atomic features and an adjacency matrix. The atomic features and the adjacency matrix are processed with a neural network, resulting in neural activations corresponding to each atom in the molecular structure. The system determines a probability for each atom quantifying its relevance for a given chemical characteristic. The probabilities are displayed as a graphical representation on the molecular structure, and groups of atoms are identified for the given chemical characteristic from the graphical representation. The identified groups of atoms for the given chemical characteristic are stored in a database, and a new molecule having the given chemical characteristic is designed based on the stored identified groups of atoms.

  • Patent number: 11792403
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. An apparatus includes processing circuitry that partitions a current block of a current picture based on a geometric partitioning mode (GPM). The current block is partitioned into two partitions in the GPM mode. Each of the partitions is associated with a respective predictor. A weighting index for a sample of the current block is determined based on a position of the sample. A weighting factor is calculated based on the weighting index of the sample according to an equation that converts the weighting index to the weighting factor. The sample is encoded based on the weighting factor and the predictor corresponding to the sample.
