Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for reducing latency in augmented reality displays. A display controller receives, from a GPU, a stream of image pixels of a frame of virtual content to be presented on a display of a display device. The stream of image pixels is received via a high-speed bulk interface that transfers data at least as fast as can be consumed by the display. As the stream of image pixel is received, the display controller converts each respective image pixel from a data format used to transmit the stream of image pixels via the high-speed bulk interface to a data format that is compatible for display by the display. Each converted image pixel is stored in a pixel cell of the display, after which the frame is presented on the display.

Abstract: Message failures due to noise and interference cause unnecessary delays and reduction in reliability in wireless networks. To detect, localize, and correct transmission faults in 5G and 6G networks, the receiver can measure the “modulation quality” of each message resource element modulated in PAM (pulse-amplitude modulation), according to how closely the amplitudes of the in-phase and quad-phase signal branches match the amplitude levels of the modulation scheme. If the message is faulted, the receiver can re-assign each message element with poor modulation quality to the adjacent states, or if necessary to each state in the modulation scheme, and may thereby find the correct message value in many cases. When implemented, message fault mitigation as disclosed herein can resolve message failures, improve communication reliability, reduce latency, and improve network operations overall, according to some embodiments.

Abstract: Network management of cloud computing environments subject to different data control policies is standardized in a manner that ensures compliance with the data control policies. An execution service remote from a cloud computing environment being managed implements workflows to manage different aspects of the cloud computing environment, including monitoring, incident management, deployment, and/or buildout. The execution service issues requests to perform management actions for network devices in the cloud computing environment. A device access service in the cloud computing environments receives the requests, and, in response to the requests, the device access service obtains access control data to access the network devices and perform the requested management actions for the network devices.

Abstract: A phacoemulsification or aspiration tip is designed for use in cataract surgeries. The phacoemulsification tip (also referred to as a phaco tip) can reduce the duration and energy of cataract surgeries because the phaco tip is designed to reduce the likelihood that cataract fragments will become clogged inside the phaco tip. For example, the phaco tip has a lumen with variable sized diameters, which helps filter out larger cataract fragments that are more likely to clog the phaco tip. Further, the phaco tip can have a larger diameter at a bend to prevent blockages. The opening of the phaco tip can have a sharp edge to shear cataract fragments into smaller pieces that are less likely to clog the phaco tip. By preventing blockages using the phaco tip and reducing the duration of cataract surgeries, patients may recover faster from the cataract surgeries.
