Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for automatically obtaining a profile for a set of accelerator pedal position sensors in a target vehicle. The profile can comprise a correlation of the position of the pedal to an output signal for one or more sensor in the set of sensors. A pedal position sensor signal reader can be used to automatically detect signals from one or more pedal position sensor in the target vehicle's accelerator pedal, while the pedal is released, depressed, and moving between the released and depressed positions. A pedal profile can be automatically generated using the output signals and corresponding pedal positions. Obtained data can be used to program a speed control device for the target vehicle. Correlated output can be used to adjust the speed of the vehicle by sending an emulated signal to the ECM, which may adjust the speed control system.

Abstract: This document describes methods and devices for a handover of a user equipment (110) from source base station (a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station (121)) to a target base station (another 5G NR base station (123) or an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network base station (122)). The source base station (121), which is in communication with the user equipment (110), determines to handover the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122). The source base station (121), then determines whether to use a delta configuration or a full configuration for handing over the user equipment (110). For the full configuration, the source base station (121) either excludes the delta configuration from, or indicates use of the full configuration in, handover preparation information. By so doing, the source base station (121) enables handover of the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122).

Abstract: A method for producing and reinforcing a composite gear includes providing a base material comprising a polymer and forming a composite gear from the base material, the composite gear having a gear body and at least one gear tooth extending from the gear body, the at least one gear tooth having a tooth face, a tooth flank, a tooth fillet, a tooth root, and a tooth tip. The method includes depositing a first metallic material to a first area of the at least one gear tooth of the composite gear, the first area including the tooth root of the at least one gear tooth and depositing a second metallic material to a second area of the at least one gear tooth of the composite gear. The first metallic material is applied in a first thickness and the second metallic material is applied in a second thickness.

Abstract: Electronic fingerprint readers are often used for security such as log-in authentication for the identification of a user for selective access to a computing system. As computing devices shrink in overall size and with downward pressure on device pricing, smaller and less expensive fingerprint readers are increasingly desired. While whole fingerprint readers have the greatest accuracy in user identification, the whole fingerprint is often not required for user identification. Often, only a portion of the user's fingerprint is required to adequately identify the user and thus a small segment fingerprint reader may be sufficient for user authentication. However, the smaller the sensing area of the small-segment fingerprint reader, the more likely that the fingerprint reader misidentifies the user or fails to collect sufficient information to identify the user. Systems and methods for improving identification accuracy of small-segment fingerprint readers are disclosed in detail herein.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing device and a data processing method, which are capable of securing excellent communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleave, an LDPC code in which a code length N is 16200 bits and an encoding rate r is 6/15, 8/15, or 10/15 is interleaved in units of bit groups of 360 bits. In group-wise deinterleave, a sequence of the LDPC code that has undergone the group-wise interleave is restored to an original sequence. For example, the present technology can be applied to a technique of performing data transmission using an LDPC code.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for interconnecting plugins of a content overlay engine that is executed with a video game. In an example system, a data manager that includes a plugin manager and an event reporting orchestrator is executed concurrently with the video game. The plugin manager identifies a set of plugins that includes at least a consumer plugin and a producer plugin coupled to the data manager. The plugin manager also identifies an event type that is to be reported to the consumer plugin. The event reporting orchestrator receives a notification of a first event from the producer plugin during execution of the video game, and determines if the first event is of the event type to be reported to the consumer plugin. If the first event is of the event type, information associated with the first event is reported to the consumer plugin.
