  • Publication number: 20210352553
    Abstract: A connection between two UEs is identified by a single connection identifier. Different streams are transmitted over different wireless links with potential redundancy between streams. Initially a first WiFi link is used to communicate with the second UE. After the first UE decides it will handoff to a second WiFi AP it establishes a connection with a cellular AP and then communicates a second stream corresponding to the same connection. The first and second streams initially communicate the same content. The first WiFi link is terminated, but the second stream continues to communicate content. The first UE then establishes a second WiFi connection with a second WiFi AP and communicates a third content stream of the first connection to second UE via second WiFi link. The third stream initially communicates information also communicated over second stream. The cellular link is terminated. The second WiFi link is used to communicate content.

  • Publication number: 20210350786
    Abstract: A method for training a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based text-to-speech (TTS) model and a speech recognition model in unison includes obtaining a plurality of training text utterances. At each of a plurality of output steps for each training text utterance, the method also includes generating, for output by the GAN-Based TTS model, a synthetic speech representation of the corresponding training text utterance, and determining, using an adversarial discriminator of the GAN, an adversarial loss term indicative of an amount of acoustic noise disparity in one of the non-synthetic speech representations selected from the set of spoken training utterances relative to the corresponding synthetic speech representation of the corresponding training text utterance. The method also includes updating parameters of the GAN-based TTS model based on the adversarial loss term determined at each of the plurality of output steps for each training text utterance of the plurality of training text utterances.

  • Publication number: 20210352561
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing combined broadband and wireless self-organizing network (“SON”) for provisioning of services. In some embodiments, a computing system might receive, from one or more first sensors and one or more second sensors, first operational states of fixed broadband network nodes and second operational states of wireless network nodes, respectively. The computing system might analyze the received first and second operational states, might determine an optimal network pathway and/or an optimal network backhaul pathway, and might establish the optimal network pathway and/or the optimal network backhaul pathway, through a determined combination of fixed and wireless network nodes, thereby implementing the combined broadband and wireless self-organizing network (“SON”) for provisioning of services.

  • Publication number: 20210350007
    Abstract: A mechanism for probabilistically determining the contents of an encrypted file is provided, such that a transfer of the encrypted file can be restricted according to rules associated with an unencrypted version of the file. Embodiments generate a file size table of a subset of files, where each entry of the file size table includes a size information regarding the unencrypted file. Embodiments compare the size of the encrypted file against the file sizes and compressed file size ranges to determine whether the encrypted file has a match. If the size of the encrypted file has a single match in the table, then there is a high probability that the file associated with the matching entry is the unencrypted version of the encrypted file. Rules associated with restricting access of the file related to the matching entry can be used to control transfer of the encrypted file.

  • Publication number: 20210351444
    Abstract: Many embodiments involve rechargeable battery assemblies that are forklift-battery-sized but that comprise multiple built in battery modules. A housing typically contains battery modules installed within the assembly as the assembly is typically symmetrical in configuration. Each battery module has an integrated battery supervisor system (BSS). A Battery Operating System Supervisor (BOSS) module processor serves as a battery management system for all the battery modules. The BOSS module grants permissions to battery modules to enable them to connect and disconnect from busbars at the appropriate times to prevent electrical issues.

    Abstract: A server can receive a seed keyword to generate additional keywords relevant to the seed keyword. The server can identify, using a semantic relationship graph, keyword categories. Each keyword can have a semantic distance from the seed keyword less than a threshold. The server can generate, for each keyword of the keyword categories, a keyword-seed affinity score based on a frequency of the keyword occurring with the seed keyword on an information resource. The server can determine, for each keyword category, a category-seed affinity score based on the keyword-seed affinity scores for each of keyword in the keyword category. The server can compare each category-seed affinity score a threshold. The server can transmit, for display, the keywords. One keyword category can be indicated as selected and another keyword category can be indicated as unselected based on the comparison.
