Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing distractions from nearby devices when content susceptible to interruption is being consumed. Content susceptible to interruption is determined, and when this content is consumed on one device, nearby devices are identified and their output characteristics are modified. For example, output volume of nearby devices may be reduced, or the volume of the first device may be increased. This process is repeated with different devices as they each output content determined to be susceptible to interruption. Consumers are thus presented with fewer distractions from surrounding devices while they are consuming content that is susceptible to interruption.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive synchronization signal block (SSB) related measurement configurations exclusively in a system information block (SIB). The UE may receive SSB frequency lists for idle measurements in both a SIB or a radio resource control (RRC) message, such as an RRC release message. In some examples, the UE may receive SSB related measurement configurations or SSB frequency lists for idle measurements in a SIB and an RRC message. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may receive SSB frequency lists in a SIB and an RRC message, while SSB measurement configurations for SSB frequencies out of a sync raster may exclusively be indicated in the RRC message. The UE may therefore experience improved coverage and reliability and, in some examples, may promote low latency for wireless communications relating to multiple radio access technologies, among other benefits.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of computing nodes that form a blockchain network, wherein one or more of the computing nodes is a metaverse computing node configured to generate a mixed reality environment. A processor of at least one computing node is configured to receive information relating to a suspicious data interaction associated with a data file of a user, simulate, based on the received information, the suspicious data interaction in a synthetic mixed reality environment that is substantially identical to the mixed reality environment, verify the suspicious data interaction while the simulated data interaction is being performed. When the suspicious data interaction cannot be verified, the processor disables one or more future data interactions processed using the same smart contract used to process the suspicious data interaction, and when the suspicious data interaction is successfully verified, terminates the simulated data interaction and process the suspicious data interaction.

Abstract: Medical device packaging can facilitate sterilization or other processes for medical devices disposed within the packaging. For example, medical device packaging can include a gas-permeable channel that permits a gas to enter and exit the packaging where a medical device is located, while preventing microorganisms from entering or exiting the packaging. The gas-permeable channel can be implemented within a seal of the packaging, a surface of the packaging, or elsewhere. The gas-permeable channel preferably includes a tortuous path, or a path that is longer than a predetermined threshold, for preventing contamination of the medical device contained within the package.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of provisioning a data processing unit (DPU) management operating system (OS). A management hypervisor installer executed on a host device launches or causes a server component to provide a management operating system (OS) installer image at a particular URI accessible over a network internal to the host device. A baseboard management controller (BMC) transfers the DPU management OS installer image to the DPU device. A volatile memory based virtual disk is created using the DPU management OS installer image. The DPU device is booted to a DPU management OS installer on the volatile memory based virtual disk. The DPU management OS installer installs a DPU management operating system to a nonvolatile memory of the DPU device on reboot of the DPU device.

Abstract: Systems and methods to enable green mining for centralized and/or decentralized financial systems are discussed. In some cases, the green mining methodologies are incorporated in distributed quantum ledger-based decentralized finance ecosystems, in decentralized financial systems and/or centralized financial systems. A proof of influence algorithm enables miners to accumulate and use reputation points to reduce computational power requirements on their systems and/or reduce energy consumptionInfluence points is an indicator of trustworthiness of the miner established based utilizing a predictive algorithm that analyzes the past mining behavior. Higher reputational scores result in lesser computationally intensive activities, which reduce energy consumption. The proof of influence algorithm rewards miners to encourage participation as validators of new blocks and/or other activities on the decentralized or centralized ledger-based systems.
