Abstract: Disclosed herein are example embodiments of protocols to distill magic states for T-gates. Particular examples have low space overhead and use an asymptotically optimal number of input magic states to achieve a given target error. The space overhead, defined as the ratio between the physical qubits to the number of output magic states, is asymptotically constant, while both the number of input magic states used per output state and the T-gate depth of the circuit scale linearly in the logarithm of the target error. Unlike other distillation protocols, examples of the disclosed protocol achieve this performance without concatenation and the input magic states are injected at various steps in the circuit rather than all at the start of the circuit. Embodiments of the protocol can be modified to distill magic states for other gates at the third level of the Clifford hierarchy, with the same asymptotic performance.

Abstract: Epoxy adhesives include a latent curing agent, a reactive toughener having capped isocyanate groups, and certain urea compounds. The toughener is made by chain extending and capping a mixture of isocyanate-terminated prepolymers. The prepolymers include an isocyanate-terminated polyether and an isocyanate-terminated diene polymer. The adhesives have excellent wash-off resistance and excellent ability to adhere to oily substrates.

Abstract: The provision of additional network resources (e.g., in the form of a dedicated super slice), can be requested on demand a per needed basis when higher capacity or performance is requested to facilitate the delivery of a service, when the delivery of the service cannot be met by a network slice associated with the service. A request for using a super slice can be sent to a management gateway device (mGW). The mGW can send the request for authorization to access the additional resources to a management device that manages the additional resources. Authorization can be granted for the additional resources to be used to facilitate or enable tasks that allow for continued delivery of that service.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. For example, the processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of an inter prediction mode with a potential usage of a refinement technique based on a first reference picture and a second reference picture. Then, the processing circuitry determines whether a first equal weighting condition of chroma components from the first reference picture and the second reference picture is satisfied. In response to a failure to satisfy the first equal weighting condition of the chroma components from the first reference picture and the second reference picture, the processing circuitry disables the refinement technique in a reconstruction of a sample in the current block.

Abstract: A method for controlling a fan of a dehumidifier includes performing a first step of obtaining an ambient temperature, an exhaust temperature, and a delta temperature that is a difference between the ambient temperature and the exhaust temperature. The method further include determining, after performing the first step, whether the delta temperature is within a delta temperature range. If the delta temperature is within the delta temperature range, the method proceeds back to the first step. If the delta temperature is not within the delta temperature range, the method performs a second step of determining an adjusted fan speed using the delta temperature. The method further includes performing, after performing the second step, a third step of setting the fan speed to the determined adjusted fan speed.
