Abstract: Canary upgrades are currently supported only for one set of microservices that are stateless. This does not allow for canary evaluation of all microservices that are part of a Containerized Network Function (CNF). This CNF level Canary deployment extends the capability to all microservices in a CNF deployed in different modes like stateless, stateful, singleton, active/standby. CNF level Canary deployment facilitates evaluation of complete CNF in a controlled fashion before extending the same to all production deployments. In addition, Canary deployment is also extended across CNFs to facilitate evaluation of a feature/performance across multiple CNFs of a new release in a controlled fashion.

Abstract: A method for optimizing Control Unit (CU)-Distributed Unit (DU) flow control to detect congestion over midhaul and take corrective action to reduce packet dropping in the midhaul includes: computing, by DU, desired data rate (DDR) for each data radio bearer (DRB); and sending, by the DU, the DDR every time when desired buffer size (DBS) is sent from DU to CU user plane (CU-UP), along with Downlink Data Delivery Status (DDDS). DU computes DDR for a DRB as follows: DDR=TBS(MCS?, prb?, rank)*(number of slots/subframe in 1 sec)*(beta)*(beta_drb), with TBS being the Transport block size computation, and MCS?=min {(current MCS+MCS_step), MCSmax}.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a terrestrial to air communications network that can be configured to include a spectrum management system that deterministically allocates spectrum to aircraft for use during flight. In one or more examples, a user transmits a flight plan to a spectrum management system that is configured to manage the RF spectrum in a given air space. In one or more examples, and based on the received flight plan, the spectrum management system can allocate an RF spectrum frequency “slot” (i.e., timeslot, subchannel, or resource block) for the aircraft to use during its intended flight. The spectrum management system can take into account available spectrum as well as the predicted network traffic and their spectrum allocations to determine an RF spectrum slot that can provide a stable and continuous communications channel to the aircraft during its flight.

Abstract: A self-shielded and computer controlled system for performing non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy using a linear accelerator mounted within a two degree-of-freedom radiation shield coupled to a three-degree of freedom patient table is provided. The radiation shield can include an axial shield rotatable about an axial axis and an oblique shield independently rotatable about an oblique axis, thereby providing improved range of trajectories of the therapeutic and diagnostic radiation beams. Such shields can be balanced about their respective axes of rotation and about a common support structure to facilitate ease of movement. Such systems can further include an imaging system to accurately deliver radiation to the treatment target and automatically make corrections needed to maintain the anatomical target at the system isocenter.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electronic circuit design, and more specifically, to training a neural network to serve as the reward function for optimization-based approaches to PCB design automation. Embodiments may include generating, using a processor, one or more placed designs using a genetic optimization methodology including a reward function and adjusting the one or more placed designs and the reward function during the generating. Embodiments may further include routing the one or more placed designs using an auto-router to assign a routability score label and training a neural network, using the one or more placed designs and the routability score label, to extract one or more intermediate features from the one or more placed designs. Embodiments may also include predicting a routability of the PCB design based upon, at least in part, the one or more intermediate features.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a microscope scanner 1 comprising a line scanner 3. Pre-scan data is generated for a target 6 comprising a sample, wherein generating the pre-scan data comprises: obtaining a pre-scan image of the target 6 from a pre-scan; and identifying one or more sample-containing regions 24 and one or more sample-free regions 26 of the target 6 from the pre-scan image. An imaging scan is then performed of a scanning region of the target 6 including the one or more sample-containing regions 24 and the one or more sample-free regions 26. The scanning speed of the line scanner 3 is adjusted along the image scan path based on the pre-scan data so that the target 6 is imaged at a higher scanning speed within the one or more sample-free regions 26 than in the one or more sample-containing regions 24.

Abstract: A system for sharing plant device configuration data collected by handheld communicators during monitoring and servicing activities. Plant device configuration data is assigned relational identifiers such as equipment identifiers that provide additional information relevant to the configuration data for a plant device. Additional plant process identifiers may also be assigned to distinguish configuration profiles for various equipment sets. The relational data may be used to retrieve the configuration profiles for application in various efforts to replicate configurations across plants.
Abstract: In a strain wave gearing, a thrust force applied on an externally toothed gear during an increased-speed operation causes the externally toothed gear to move along an axis in a first direction, and the output-side end surface thereof is pressed, by a prescribed force, against a friction surface of a friction plate integrated with a rotating shaft part of a strain wave generator. Torque transmission efficiency can be reduced only during increased-speed operation, by means of a friction loss occurring between the externally toothed gear and the friction plate. When large load torque is applied from an output shaft which is an output-side member during reduced-speed operation, retention torque of the strain wave generator which is an input-side member during speed-reduction operation can be reduced.
Abstract: A firearm stock is disclosed with an adjustable cheek riser, which includes an elevation mechanism and a cheek plate attached to a rising mechanism.

Abstract: A flow of packets is communicated through a data center. The data center includes multiple racks, where each rack includes multiple network devices. A group of packets of the flow is received onto a first network device. The first device includes a neural network. The first network device generates a neural network feature vector (NNFV) based on the received packets. The first network device then sends the NNFV to a second network device. The second device uses the NNFV to determine a set of weight values. The weight values are then sent back to the first network device. The first device loads the weight values into the neural network. The neural network, as configured by the weight values, then analyzes each of a plurality of flows received onto the first device to determine whether the flow likely has a particular characteristic.
