Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. For example, a wireless communication device comprising two cellular radios may intend to transmit on the first radio, while concurrently transmitting on the second radio. To ensure compliance with a maximum transmit power limitation, the device may determine an allowed transmit power level of the first radio, representing a difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level being transmitted by the second radio. The device may also determine a threshold power level for a communication by the first radio. If the allowed transmit power level meets the threshold power level, then the device may transmit the first communication having a power level between the threshold power level and the allowed transmit power level. Otherwise, the device may forego transmission of the first communication.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a reinforcement learning based large-scale multi-objective ranking system. Embodiments of the system may be used for optimizing short-video recommendation on a video sharing platform. Multiple competing ranking objective and implicit selection bias in user feedback are the main challenges in real-world platform. In order to address those challenges, multi-gate mixture of experts (MMoE) and soft actor critic (SAC) are integrated together into a MMoE_SAC system. Experiment results demonstrate that embodiments of the MMoE_SAC system may greatly reduce a loss function compared to systems only based on single strategies.

Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) searching is a fundamental problem in computer science with numerous applications in area such as machine learning and data mining. For typical graph-based ANN methods, the searching method is executed iteratively, and the execution dependency prohibits graphics processor unit (GPU)/GPU-type processor adaptations. Presented herein are embodiments of a novel framework that decouples the searching on graph methodology into stages, in order to parallel the performance-crucial distance computation. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, to obtain better parallelism on GPU-type components, also disclosed are novel ANN-specific optimization methods that eliminate dynamic memory allocations and trade computations for less memory consumption. Embodiments were empirically compared against other methods, and the results confirm the effectiveness.

Abstract: An electrical connector has a base, a first power terminal, a second power terminal, and multiple signal terminals. The base has a connecting portion having a flat face divided into a first region and a second region. The first and the second power terminals are disposed within the first region of the connecting portion. The multiple signal terminals are disposed within the second region of the connecting portion. At least one signal terminal is apart from the first power terminal by a first distance, and at least one of the other signal terminals is apart from the second power terminal by a second distance. The second distance is larger than the first distance. Arrangement of the first power terminal, the second power terminal, and the multiple signal terminals prevents the first power terminal, the second power terminal, and the multiple signal terminals from interfering with one another.
