Abstract: An example radio frequency (RF) positioning node system calculates a respective distance between an uncommissioned RF positioning node to each of neighboring commissioned RF positioning nodes based on a respective received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement. Based on the calculated respective distance to each of the neighboring commissioned RF positioning nodes and a set of commissioned location coordinates of each of the neighboring commissioned RF positioning nodes, the RF positioning node system estimates a set of uncommissioned location coordinates of the uncommissioned RF positioning node.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may establish a wireless connection with a WiFi network, and may perform a measurement associated with a fifth generation (5G) ultra-wideband radio access network. The UE may determine whether the measurement satisfies a signal strength threshold, and may selectively perform a first action or a second action based on whether the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The first action may include providing an indication of an availability of the 5G ultra-wideband radio access network, for display, when the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The second action may include maintaining the wireless connection when the measurement fails to satisfy the signal strength threshold.

Abstract: Settings on an information handling system may be adjusted to set priority levels for processes executing on the information handling system in view of desired operational characteristics of the information handling system for a user persona and in view of expected future events for the information handling system. A score may be generated based on a user persona (e.g., whether a user is a light gamer, heavy gamer, corridor warrior, or desk worker) and expected future computer contexts (e.g., an expectation that a user will play a game in one hour). That score may be used to determine policies (e.g., high performance, balanced, or battery saver) to implement through settings on the computer system. Consideration of user persona classifications, associated group behaviors, and dynamic system contexts (including resource extremas, location, temporal context, and predicted future events) improve use of system resources through prioritization and governing of diverse optimization methods.

Abstract: Devices that record data from a space, such as audio or video devices having microphones and/or cameras, may have a privacy mode which allows a user to temporarily prevent the device from recoding audio or video of the space. The privacy mode may be a privacy cover, button, airgap, or other mechanism to obfuscate the acoustic or video signal, or to remove power and/or communication from the camera, microphone, control circuit, or to the entire device itself. Additionally, the privacy mode may be remotely enabled for multiple devices in a space.
