Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for forecasting growth of a set of aquatic organisms in an aquaculture environment using time-series models. The techniques can be used to predict the growth of a set of aquatic organisms in a fish farm enclosure in a period. In some variations, the techniques proceed by obtaining an evidentiary time series (e.g., daily biomass estimates produced by a biomass estimation system) and a set of one or more reference (covariant) time series (e.g., daily biomass estimates produced by a biological model of fish growth). The techniques construct a time-series model from the evidentiary time series and the set of reference time series. The techniques use the constructed time-series model to forecast the evidentiary time series. In some variations, the time-series model is a Bayesian structural time-series model or other state space model for time series data.

Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for multi-modal aquatic biomass estimation includes determining a fish mass measurement, a fish count, or a direct fish biomass estimate from a sample of one or more digital images or digital video captured by a digital camera immersed underwater in a fish farm enclosure. A technique further includes determining a plurality of fish densities for a plurality of water volumes within the fish farm enclosure based on analysis of signals received from a plurality of bias estimation sensors immersed underwater in the fish farm enclosure.

Abstract: An optical system for immersion underwater in an aquaculture environment. The optical system captures, in situ, digital images of underwater objects such as freely swimming fish such as, for example, sea salmon or sea trout, as the fish swim naturally in the aquaculture environment. The digital images produced by the optical system are of enough quality such that reliable detection of sea lice in different life stages by a human visual inspection of the digital image or by computer vision systems is enabled.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a communication device, which has a plurality of subscriptions, maintains first state parameter information for one or more subscriptions of the plurality of subscriptions to indicate whether a call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions. The communication device receives, for a further subscription of the plurality of subscriptions, a request to measure a channel condition of one or more signals. The communication device responds to the request to measure the channel condition of the one or more signals based on a determination that the first state parameter information for the one or more subscriptions indicates no call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) receives, for a second subscription, a first request to measure signal quality at a location of the UE. The UE checks whether a call is ongoing for a first subscription. The UE sends a response to the first request only if there is no call ongoing for the first subscription.

Abstract: A multi-SIM wireless user equipment (UE) receives, on a second SIM, a first request to measure signal quality at a location of the UE. The UE checks whether a call is ongoing on a first SIM. The UE sends a response to the first request only if there is no call ongoing on the first SIM.

Abstract: A method and device for reducing the interruption in a first download, i.e. ongoing reception, caused by the start of a second download, i.e. incoming transmission, by identifying the next due timing of a control channel frame of the first download, and then triggering a sequence of deactivation of the first download, requesting a frequency path switch, performing the frequency path switch, reconfiguring and reactivating the control channel, wherein the sequence takes place at a specified time before the identified control channel frame, and then reactivating the first download.

Abstract: Embodiments include a system and method for solving a wireless communications channel packing problem by using a cost-like accounting metric that includes channel packing efficiency as well as modulation efficiency, channel conditions and or noise thresholds. The cost-like accounting metric is used to adjust the rated effectiveness of using each available modulation scheme where modulation schemes in adjacent spectrum will produce differing degrees of packing efficiency. By selecting those available carrier wave modulation schemes based on channel conditions versus noise threshold and accounting for packing factor as well as modulation efficiency, some embodiments the invention achieve higher quality within the framework of creating the greatest overall channel efficiency by selecting the best modulation scheme for each part of the spectrum being used.
