  • Patent number: 11544607
    Abstract: A machine learning architecture employs two machine learning networks that are joined by a statistical model allowing the imposition of a predetermined statistical model family into a learning process in which the networks translate between and data types. For example, the statistical model may enforce a Gaussian conditional probability between the latent variables in the translation process. In one application, MRI images may be translated into PET images with reduced mode collapse, blurring, or other “averaging” type behaviors.

  • Patent number: 11537898
    Abstract: A method and a system for material design utilizing machine learning are provided, where the underlying joint distribution p(S,P) of structure (S)-property (P) relationships is explicitly learned simultaneously and is utilized to directly generate samples (S,P) in a single step utilizing generative techniques, without any additional processing steps. The subspace of structures that meet or exceed the target for property P is then identified utilizing conditional generation of the distribution (e.g., p(P)), or through randomly generating a large number of samples (S,P) and filtering (e.g., selecting) those that meet target property criteria.

  • Patent number: 11510139
    Abstract: An AMF node (2) manages a UE context regarding a UE (1). The UE context includes a) a set of allowed network slice identifiers indicating one or more network slice identifiers currently allowed to the UE (1), and b) a set of pending network slice identifiers indicating one or more network slice identifiers for which a Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization (NSSAA) procedure is pending. If the AMF (2) triggers initiation of a re-authentication and re-authorization procedure for a first network slice identifier currently allowed to the UE (1), it removes the first network slice identifier from the allowed set and store the same in the pending set. This, for example, allows the AMF to manage the UE context appropriately.

  • Patent number: 11463988
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for providing uplink broadcast service connectivity via a wireless local area network (WLAN). In some implementations, a wireless device may transmit an uplink communication to an access point (AP) that supports uplink broadcast services, and the AP may forward the uplink communication to a remote destination indicated in the uplink communication. In some implementations, the wireless device may be in an unassociated state and may transmit the uplink communication without establishing a formal wireless session with the AP. The uplink communication may include a request for the AP to embed AP-provided data to the uplink communication before forwarding it the remote destination. This disclosure includes techniques to prevent flooding and unauthorized uplink communications being used for a denial of service attack on the remote destination.
