Abstract: Innovations in unified intra block copy (“BC”) and inter prediction modes are presented. In some example implementations, bitstream syntax, semantics of syntax elements and many coding/decoding processes for inter prediction mode are reused or slightly modified to enable intra BC prediction for blocks of a frame. For example, to provide intra BC prediction for a current block of a current picture, a motion compensation process applies a motion vector that indicates a displacement within the current picture, with the current picture being used as a reference picture for the motion compensation process. With this unification of syntax, semantics and coding/decoding processes, various coding/decoding tools designed for inter prediction mode, such as advanced motion vector prediction, merge mode and skip mode, can also be applied when intra BC prediction is used, which simplifies implementation of intra BC prediction.

Abstract: The disclosure described herein configures a client device for communication using dynamic spectrum access within a frequency spectrum, such as television white space (TVWS), using a determined location of the client device based on location information, such as from a global positioning system. A dynamic spectrum access database of channels is accessed based on the location information. Available channels are determined for the client device from the channels based on the location information. A list of the available channels for use by the client device are transmitted to the client device, thereby allowing narrowband communication over the channels.

A wireless device may be configured to use a first transmission control indicator (TCI) state of at least two TCI states to receive an aperiodic reference signal based on: a scheduling offset, and the aperiodic reference signal overlapping in time with a scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing spatial line grouping on digital ink stokes. The system includes an electronic processor configured to access a set of hypothetical lines in an electronic document and determine a set of hypothetical line pairings. The electronic processor is also configured to determine, via a gradient boosting tree model, a merge confidence score for each hypothetical line pairing and compare a first merge confidence score with a merge threshold. The first merge confidence score is associated with a first hypothetical line and a first neighboring hypothetical line. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to the first merge confidence score satisfying the merge threshold, merge the first hypothetical line and the first neighboring hypothetical line to form a first line grouping. The electronic processor is also configured to perform a digital ink stroke analysis on the electronic document based on the first line grouping.

Abstract: An expandable touch screen display device made up of a flexible display that can be reconfigured from a compact state to a plurality of expanded states. The form factor of the compact state is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of each of the expanded states is roughly the size of a tablet computer. An internal mechanism is provided for synching the motion of the device's expansion with the motion of the flexible display's end plate which provides a force to guide the display around the roller located at the edge of the device. The device may further include an integrated speaker and microphone, and sensors to indicate the expanded position of the display. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with the device may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system.

Abstract: A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine includes a casting and plug. The casting defines a first channel, a second channel, and a bore extending inward from an exterior surface of the casting. The first channel intersects a central portion of the bore.

The plug has a distal end that engages the casting along the opposing end of the bore via a slip-fit engagement, a proximal end that engages the casting within the bore proximal to the exterior surface via a fixed engagement, and an intermediate portion that is spaced apart from the casting along the central portion of the bore. The plug defines an internal channel that establishes fluid communication between the first and second channels.
