Abstract: A system and method supporting the direct entry of characters by sensing and analyzing user motion. This motion can be the movement of one or more fingers or of a stylus over a touchpad integrated into a remote-control unit, or the motion of a remote-control unit itself tracked by a motion sensor. The sensed motions correspond to patterns representing one or more characters, words, phrases, or commands. Information indicative of the patterns is then analyzed by the system and translated into a corresponding characters, commands or actions. This translated information is then provided to a digital media system as an input or a command.

Abstract: A load control system may include control-target devices for controlling an amount of power provided to an electrical load. The control-target devices may be capable of controlling the amount of power provided to the electrical load based on control instructions. The control-target devices and/or the control-instructions may be determined based on a gesture performed by a user. The user may wear a wearable control device capable of measuring movements performed by the user and transmit digital messages that may be used to control an electrical load. The wearable control device may identify gestures performed by the user for controlling a control-target device and/or provide control instructions to the control-target device based on the identified gestures. A gesture may be associated with a scene that includes a configuration of one or more control devices in a load control system.

Abstract: Methods and a unique session identifier token are disclosed for using in-band and optionally out-of-band protocols to authenticate a session are disclosed. The system to produce a probability the mobile device is in possession of a known person and the use of the unique session identifier token are used to prevent attacks by replay. In some embodiments, out-of-band protocols as well as use of entangled pairs eliminate the possibility of man-in-the middle pirating of an authentication session. A unique user-initiated session reduces authentication to a single message unit transaction from a mobile device to a relying party, securely affirming the user's identity and the user's intent to authenticate.

Abstract: A wireless device may receive configuration parameters of a plurality of cells and a SR configuration. The SR configuration may be associated with recovery from consistent LBT failure. The SR configuration may be for requesting resources on one or more first cells of the plurality of cells and excluding resources on other cells of the plurality of cells. No resources on one or more cells for which the consistent LBT failure is not triggered may be available for transmission of an LBT failure control element. The wireless device may transmit a SR based on the SR configuration. The wireless device may receive an uplink grant for a first cell of the one or more first cells. The wireless device may transmit the LBT failure control element based on the uplink grant.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for performing listen-before-talk procedures on bandwidth parts. These techniques include a user equipment (UE) initiating a first listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on an active bandwidth part used in a radio resource control (RRC) connection between a UE and a base station. During the first LBT procedure, the UE receives a configuration message from the base station instructing the UE to change the active bandwidth part from the first bandwidth part to a second bandwidth part. Responsively, the UE changes the active bandwidth part and initiates a second LBT procedure on the second bandwidth part.

Abstract: A database index management system uses one or more machine learning models to analyze a query log in relation to a database. A machine learning model may identify a query pattern and/or a change in the query pattern from the query log, identify a column associated with the query pattern, and identify an addition, removal, or modification of an index related to the identified column. The database index management system may perform one or more additions, removals or modifications of indices of the database based on query patterns identified in the query log. The database index management system continuously improves database performance in response to changing database usage patterns over time.
