Abstract: A base station sends, to a wireless device, a system information block (SIB) indicating that restricted local operator services (RLOS) are supported by a public land mobile network, and receives, from the wireless device and based on the SIB indicating support for the RLOS, a preamble. The base station sends a random access response to the preamble and receives at least one first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a first information element indicating that an RRC connection of the wireless device is for the RLOS and a second information element comprising an attach request message indicating, to a mobility management entity (MME) configured with an RLOS access point name, that an attach request of the wireless device is for the RLOS. The base station sends to the wireless device a second RRC message comprising an attach accept message indicating acceptance of the RLOS by the MME.

Abstract: A method begins with a server in a data communication system identifying an instance for a user computing device associated with an exchange item to utilize the exchange item for acquisition of a particular item, where the exchange item has a quantifiable value and the particular item has an acquisition value. The method continues by, for the instance, determining compliance with one or more rules of a set of exchange item rules, determining that the quantifiable value of the exchange item is less than the acquisition value of the particular item, determining an alternative exchange item utilization protocol to facilitate the acquisition of the particular item such that the quantifiable value of the exchange item is greater than or equal to the acquisition value, and when requested, executing the alternative exchange item utilization protocol to facilitate the acquisition of the particular item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining proper phase rotation in a linear motor that may be used in an ESP system, where the phase rotations associated with power and return strokes are initially unknown. The method includes providing power to the motor for multiple cycles and monitoring the load (e.g., by monitoring current drawn by the motor) on the motor to determine in which direction (phase rotation) the load on the motor increases. This direction corresponds to the power stroke of the motor. The direction of increasing load is then associated with the power stroke and the motor is operated normally.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum streaming kernel processes a data stream. In some aspects, an input stream of data is converted to an output stream of data by repeatedly receiving new portions of the input stream; encoding each new portion into an internal quantum state of a quantum processor; measuring a first part of the internal quantum state while maintaining coherence of a second part of the internal quantum state; and producing the output stream of data based on the measurements. In some cases, a history of the input stream is preserved by the coherence of the internal quantum state, and the measurements contain information based on the history of the input stream.

Abstract: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) resonator device includes at least one functionalization material arranged over at least a central portion, but less than an entirety, of a top side electrode. For an active region exhibiting greatest sensitivity at a center point and reduced sensitivity along its periphery, omitting functionalization material over at least one peripheral portion of a resonator active region prevents analyte binding in regions of lowest sensitivity. The at least one functionalization material extends a maximum length in a range of from about 20% to about 95% of an active area length and extends a maximum width in a range of from about 50% to 100% of an active area width. Methods for fabricating MEMS resonator devices are also provided.
