Abstract: A fabric bulk bag and a method for constructing the same, the bag including a continuous sidewall, a top portion, and a bottom, all defining a bulk storage space therein; the bottom further comprising eight sides which define an octagonal shape having an enlarged footprint so that the bag wall is sewn to the bottom in less time than a round shaped bag, yet when filled stands more upright with less tendency to lean than the current square shaped bags thereby providing a safer more dependable stacking bulk bag. In the method of producing the fabric bulk bag, the bag is constructed in less time than the prior art round bottom bags, uses less wall fabric than prior art square bottomed bags and when constructed and filled, supports itself more stable on a floor or pallet because it provides substantially more base for the product to rest on. In other embodiments, the bag would be multi-sided with greater than four sides.

Abstract: A base station may transmit a report mask indicating a transmission of a layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) report limited to a time period when a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer is running for a wireless device. The base station may receive the L1-RSRP from the wireless device at a first time, in response to the DRX timer running at a predefined time period before the first time. The received L1-RSRP report may include an L1-RSRP value and a reference signal index associated with the L1-RSRP value. At second time, the base station may skip a reception of a configured L1-RSRP report transmission from the wireless device in response to the DRX timer not running at the predefined time period before the second time and the report mask.

Abstract: In a display assistant device, a speaker is mounted in a waveguide structure which is at least partially disposed beneath a display screen. The waveguide structure is mounted in an exterior housing which includes speaker grills distributed on a plurality of surfaces of the exterior housing, permitting sound waves from the speaker to be projected outside the exterior housing. A cover structure is disposed on top of the waveguide structure to conceal the waveguide structure and speaker within the exterior housing. The cover structure has a tilted bottom surface configured to be suspended above the waveguide structure and to be separated by a first space. Sound waves projected from an upper portion of the speaker are reflected by the tilted bottom surface and are guided through the first space to exit the device from a speaker grill portion located on a rear side of the exterior housing.

Abstract: A wireless communication network delivers status information for User Equipment (UE) upon request. A network controller exchanges registration signaling with the UE and exchanges authentication signaling for the UE with a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM exchanges the authentication signaling with the network controller and responsively transfers a UDM request for the UE status information to the network controller. The network controller determines the UE status information and transfers the UE status information to the UDM in response to the UDM request. The UDM receive the UE status information from the network controller and transfers the UE status information to a Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDR receives the UE status information from the UDM and receives a status request for the UE from a network element. The UDR responsively transfers the UE status information for the UE to the network element.

Abstract: System and methods are provided for empirical analysis of remaining life in electromechanical devices. Sensors are positioned to generate signals representing sound energy emitted by devices, and digital sound data are stored corresponding thereto. The system classifies sound characteristics and their corresponding impact on wear rate over time via recurring analysis of the stored sound data. For a selected device, a wear state is estimated based on a comparison of current sound energy emitted therefrom with respect to sound data for a comparable group of electromechanical devices, and it may be ascertained whether certain classified sound characteristics are present in digital sound data corresponding to the selected electromechanical device. Output signals are selectively generated based on the estimated wear state and/or classified sound characteristics ascertained to be present, e.g.
