Abstract: A session management function (SMF) sends, to a user plane function (UPF), a session configuration message comprising a packet detection rule (PDR) for a group communication session, wherein the PDR comprises a multicast address mapped to a plurality of wireless devices associated with the group communication session, and a forwarding rule associated with the multicast address. The SMF receives, from the UPF, a notification of inactivity for the group communication session associated with the multicast address. The SMF sends, to the UPF and after receiving the notification of inactivity, a session modification request comprising a downlink tunnel configuration for the multicast data.

Abstract: Amorphous silicon carbide may be doped with one or more ions such as vanadium and these ions may radiate light if excited, for example, using optical or electrical pumping. A single photon light source may be formed from a single such ion that is pumped or from a plurality of ions that are pumped if light from only one ion is collected, e.g., using an aperture or pin hole. Such single photon sources may possibly be use in quantum computing, quantum sensing and/or quantum telecommunications.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable a space saving rollable display device to extend automatically in a power efficient manner. While a blade assembly is in a retracted position, a controller of the electronic device determines whether a user notification opportunity exists based on a transition between contextual states of one of stationary and changing from unattended to attended by the user; and stowed on-body of the user changing to held by the user. In response, the controller actuates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly, which includes a blade and flexible display, relative to a device housing of an electronic device from a retracted position to at least a partially extended position. The actuation prepares the flexible display to present user notification(s) and generates a physical indication to a user that the user notification(s) is available to be presented when the flexible display is active.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for updating a catalog of assets. A scanning agent may scan for a set of assets in a data store. A scan validator may receive, from the scanning agent, a list of assets scanned in the data store and determine that a summary record is received from the scanning agent. The summary record may include an asset summary generated by the scanning agent corresponding to the list of scanned assets. In response to determining that the summary record is received, the scan validator may determine whether the asset summary in the summary record matches an asset summary generated from the list of assets. If a match is determined between the asset summaries, a match validation may be provided. In response to the match validation being provided, assets absent from the list of assets may be removed from the asset catalog.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a request for an instance of media content in a current session. A state is retrieved for content delivery networks that is determined for a session in a set of sessions. The state includes a first set of values for a performance metric, and the first set of values is associated with the content delivery networks. The method determines a second set of values for the performance metric for the current session. The second set of values is associated with the content delivery networks. A content delivery network is selected for the request in the current session based on treating the current session as a session in the set of sessions. The session for the current session is after the session for the state in the set of sessions.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus are described for improving video production technology. A video production server receives livestream videos from spectators at live events. The video production server creates video-on-demand presentations based on the livestream video clips. The video production server may also receive natively-created video clips of live events after live events have ended. The natively-created video clips each comprise location, date and time information as metadata. When natively-created video clips are received by the video production server, each clip is associated with a particular, past live event by comparing the location, date and time information of each clip to a database of live events identified by each event's location, date and time.

Abstract: A high pressure die casting (HPDC) system for casting ultra-large single-piece castings for vehicles. The HPDC system includes a clear feeding path from at least one ingate to a predetermined thicker section of a mold cavity, a last to solidify ingate having an equivalent or larger feeding modulus than the highest feeding modulus of the other ingates, and thermal management elements. The clear feeding path, last to solidify ingate, and thermal management elements ensure sufficient supplemental molten metal flow to the thicker portion of the mold cavity to accommodate for shrinkage of the thicker portion of an ultra large casting during the casting and solidification process.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for determining properties of a physical system described by an electronic structure Hamiltonian. In one aspect, a Hamiltonian describing the physical system is transformed into a qubit Hamiltonian describing a corresponding system of qubits. The qubit Hamiltonian comprises multiple two-qubit interaction terms, each comprising a respective translation invariant coefficient. The system of qubits is evolved under a unitary operator generated by the multiple two-qubit interaction terms. The evolution includes applying layers of quantum logic gates to the system of qubits, wherein each application of a layer evolves the system of qubits under a unitary operator generated by a respective subset of the multiple two-qubit interaction terms and wherein the value of the coefficients of the subset of the multiple two-qubit interaction terms that generate the unitary operator is constant. The evolved system of qubits is measured and properties of the physical system is determined.
