  • Patent number: 11657366
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using augmented reality to improve loading, and in particular improve loading when the types and order of items to be loaded is unknown. A server uses information regarding the packages which have already been stored in a storage area to generate a three-dimensional map of where the stored packages currently are placed. Upon receiving information indicating a subsequent package is going to be stored, the server can identify the best place to store that package in the storage area, then communicate that storage location to an augmented reality device worn by a worker. The worker can then have a visual indication showing where and how to place the subsequent package.

  • Patent number: 11658696
    Abstract: A network transceiver device is provided, including at least two variable gain amplifiers (VGAs), and at least two sets of analog digital converters (ADCs), each set including ADCs coupled to an output of one of the VGAs, the sets being arranged in VGA-specific channels. The device includes a plurality of feed-forward equalizers (FFEs), each FFE being coupled to receive an output of one of the ADCs in one of the VGA-specific channels. Each FFE is configured to adaptively equalize the output received from the ADCs utilizing a first equalization coefficient subset with coefficient values that are common to all FFEs, and a second equalization coefficient subset that is channel specific and that has a first set of coefficient values for a first VGA-specific channel and a second set of coefficient values for a second VGA-specific channel, the sets of coefficient values being computed independently.

  • Patent number: 11658793
    Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a cell. The configuration parameters comprise bandwidth part (BWP) parameters of: a first BWP and a default BWP; a first timer value associated with a cell deactivation timer; and a second timer value associated with a BWP inactivity timer. A downlink control information (DCI) indicating an activation of the cell is received. In response to the DCI: the cell is activated; and the cell deactivation timer is started based on the first timer value. In response to the activation of the cell, the first BWP of the cell is activated. The BWP inactivity timer is started based on the second timer value. In response to expiry of the BWP inactivity timer, a switch is made from the first BWP to the default BWP as an active BWP.

  • Patent number: 11659224
    Abstract: Network content delivery apparatus and methods based on content compiled from various sources and particularly selected for a given user. In one embodiment, the network comprises a cable television network, and the content sources include DVR, broadcast, nPVR, and VOD. The user-targeted content is assembled into a playlist, and displayed as a continuous stream on a virtual channel particular to that user. User interfaces accessible through the virtual channel present various functional options, including the selection or exploration of content having similarity or prescribed relationships to other content, and the ability to order purchasable content. An improved electronic program guide is also disclosed which allows a user to start over, record, view, receive information on, “catch up”, and rate content. Apparatus for remote access and configuration of the playlist and virtual channel functions, as well as a business rules “engine” implementing operational or business goals, are also disclosed.
