Abstract: In some examples, a user equipment (UE) detects a change in a radio access technology, and in response to the change in the radio access technology, receives information sent by a wireless network. The UE compares the received information to a policy to determine whether a feature is supported by the wireless network, and based on the comparing, sends an indication informing the wireless network which network type of plural different network types to use for sending a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message.

Abstract: A fluid conduit system includes a trunk line and a manifold header coupled to the trunk line. The manifold header has a first bore in fluid communication with the trunk line and a second bore intersecting the first bore. A first manifold valve is coupled to the manifold header. A second manifold valve is coupled to the first manifold valve. A fracture header is coupled to the second manifold valve. A plurality of connection rods is coupled to the manifold header and to the fracture header. Each connection rod extends through a corresponding hole in the first manifold valve and a corresponding hole in the second manifold valve.

Abstract: A door interface system for a vehicle door includes a sensor and a visual indicator. The sensor may be a proximity sensor and may be positioned proximate to the visual indicator such that it will detect an object proximate to the proximity sensor. The visual indicator may convey the position of the sensor and/or a status of the vehicle door. The door interface system is configured to control the vehicle door based at least in part on detecting an object proximate the visual indicator.

Abstract: Techniques relating to multi-passenger interaction via display(s) of a vehicle are described. In an example, sensor data is received from a sensor associated with an interior of a vehicle. Based at least partly on the sensor data, a first occupancy state associated with a first seat of the vehicle and a second occupancy state associated with a second seat of the vehicle can be determined. Content to present via displays associated with the first seat and/or the second seat can be determined based at least in part on the first occupancy state and the second occupancy state and can be presented via each respective display.

Abstract: A fluid conduit connector includes a monolithic body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side. A throughbore extends from the first opening to the second opening. A first array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the body. A second array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first array of holes, each hole of the second array of holes extending through the body to the second side.

Abstract: An enclosure or housing for an air monitoring instrument package for mounting on the roof or other surface on the outside of vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, trams, trains and ships. By measuring air pollutants from moving vehicles, it is possible to explore the distribution of air pollutants throughout a city or rural area for the identification of sources of different pollutants, estimating human exposures to air pollutants, and mapping air pollutants with high resolution. The disclosed device provides continuous sampling of outside air while simultaneously protecting the delicate instruments from weather elements such as high wind, rain, snow, sleet and hail. The design also allows a nearly constant flow rate of sampled air independent of vehicle velocity. An optional impaction region further reduces transmission of mist and large particles to the chamber containing the measurement package.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing a network consensus for a blockchain network that is characterized by one or more, or all, of the following attributes: (1) implementation of a Proof-of-Coverage scheme; (2) lack of permission for nodes to participate in the network; (3) decentralization, with lack of incentives to centralize; (4) byzantine fault tolerance; (5) based on useful work to the network; (6) high confirmed transaction rate; and (7) censor-resistant transactions.

Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication operations with a wireless device that is ICS or DTM capable. Signaling protocols and apparatus are provided for operation of the wireless device when an ICS with the wireless device is ongoing, and the device leaves an area that provides for ICS as well as when the ICS can be provided using circuit-switched connections.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for facilitating data transmission using a decentralized consensus network. The system comprising: a verified and decentralized consensus network comprising a plurality of node, wherein at least one of the nodes is configured to: (a) determine a target node from the plurality of nodes to be verified; verify the target node by validating a geographic location of the target node or a time of the target node; and (c) receive a token for verifying and validating the target node.

Abstract: Flow sensors are provided that can monitor flow conditions. The flow sensor includes a gauge that provides a first level of information about flow through the sensor, and an indicator associated with the gauge that can provided a second level of information about flow through the sensor. The indicator might be in the form of a dial that can rotate about the gauge and might include a locked position for monitoring flow and an unlocked position to rotate the dial about the gauge to reposition the dial. Vanes in the flow sensor remove turbulence in the flow sensor to settle any noise that would otherwise register in the first level of information about flow through the sensor. The plunger with a rounded upstream face also helps to settle any such noise.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing and using a decentralized network using a blockchain. A provider (and/or miner) may provide network coverage to one or more devices in return for tokens on the blockchain. The blockchain may employ a proof-of-coverage scheme to verify (and even guarantee) that the miners are honestly representing the wireless network coverage they are providing. In some instances, the proof of coverage may require the providers to prove coverage periodically, upon demand, and/or at random intervals.
