Abstract: A gaming system has one or more biomechanical detection units that detect one or more user biomechanical movements of a real-world user. Furthermore, the gaming system has a processor that is programmed to invoke a game engine to generate a virtual game environment. The game engine also determines a real-world athlete having one or more characteristic biomechanical movements. Furthermore, the game engine generates a virtual avatar corresponding to the real-world user. The game engine also presents one or more virtual stimuli in the virtual game environment to the real-world user. Additionally, the game engine determines if the one or more user biomechanical movements in reaction to the one or more virtual stimuli correspond to the one or more characteristic biomechanical movements within a predetermined tolerance threshold, and generate a virtual game acknowledgement based upon the determination that the predetermined tolerance threshold is met.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state and a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing. The wireless device transmits, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

Abstract: A method for operating an advanced park assist system of a vehicle includes a vehicle controller receiving, from front and side cameras mounted proximate front and side sections of the vehicle, real-time images of the vehicle's forward-facing and side-facing views. These images are analyzed to detect target elements present in the vehicle's forward-facing and/or side-facing views. Responsive to detecting a target element, heading control signals are transmitted to the vehicle's steering system to reposition the vehicle and thereby locate the target element at the center of the forward-facing view and at the top of the side-facing view. Speed control signals are transmitted to the vehicle's propulsion system to propel the vehicle such that the target element disappears from the side-facing view and moves to a calibrated distance from the vehicle body's front end. The control signals are modulated to align the vehicle with a target marker of the target element.

Abstract: A method for execution by a node of a computing device includes determining a plurality of queries for concurrent execution.

For each one of the set of virtual segments included in the subset, in response to generating the locally rebuilt set of rows, concurrent partial execution of corresponding multiple ones of the plurality of queries is facilitated.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view.
