Abstract: Wireless communications using multiple active resources (e.g., bandwidth parts (BWP)) are described. At least one of multiple active resources (e.g., BWPs) of a first cell may be selected to send scheduling information (e.g., cross-carrier scheduling information) for other cells. A base station may send downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling (e.g., cross-carrier scheduling) a second cell using the selected BWP. A wireless device may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the selected BWP to detect the DCI for scheduling (e.g., cross-carrier scheduling) the second cell.

Abstract: A method of producing uranium halides is disclosed in which chlorine gas is introduced into a liquid uranium-nickel alloy. NaCl salt is surrounding the crucible containing the liquid uranium-nickel alloy, producing a eutectic mixture of NaCl—UCl3. Upon chlorination, the metal halide dissolves in the matrix salt forming a solution. Adding the reactant metal, uranium to the nickel, the alloy is able to remain molten throughout processing. The liquid metal alloy may be removed from the salt bath, while the halogen gas continues to enter the system through the sparge until the desired composition of NaCl—UCl3—UCl4 is achieved. The method and system can be used to produce other metal halide salts such as actinide, lanthanide or transition metal halides contained in a matrix salt consisting of alkali and/or alkaline earth halides.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for mitigating a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. During operation, the system analyzes application layer data in historical traffic to an online system to determine a historical volume of member traffic from an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the online system, wherein the member traffic is generated by members of the online system. Next, the system calculates a rate limit for a set of requests from the IP address to the online system based on the historical volume of member traffic from the IP address. During a DDoS attack, the system outputs the rate limit for use in blocking a subset of the requests from the IP address to the online system.

The sensors may be configured to detect conditions such as changes in temperature, levels of carbon dioxide, smoke or other fire related particulates and report sensor readings back to the connected hub. The hub processes received sensor data from each sensor and generates an alert if the processed data meets any predetermined condition such as one associated with a fire. The alert may be transmitted to a tracking station with a geographic indication of where the alert was generated and a drone may be sent to the location of the geographic indication to acquire additional data to help determine if further action is required.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a device and method of dividing current among LED arrays is described. Each array has a sense resistor to sense a voltage of a current channel associated with the array. An analog or digital computational circuit with an op-amp and parallel RC circuit or microprocessor compares the voltages of the sense resistors and controls switches of the arrays accordingly. The analog circuit charges or discharges the capacitor to alter the output voltage used to control the switches. The microprocessor determines a ratio of the sensed voltages to generate the output voltage, maps a control signal to the ratio, directs input current to one or the other channel dependent on the control signal voltage and otherwise scales the input current between the channels. Other apparatuses, devices, and methods are described as well.
