Abstract: An intelligent scheme is proposed for the network to keep reconfiguring and re-tuning itself to achieve an optimal paging policy without requiring manual intervention. The scheme will allow the network to automatically devise a paging policy to adapt to the network deployment in place and as per the mobility pattern of users in the area covered by a particular CELL tower during different times of the day.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may obtain an indication of one or more permissions associated with a dataset shared by a data provider via a first execution environment. The device may obtain an indication of one or more data processing applications associated with respective intents, wherein the one or more data processing applications are executable via a second execution environment, and wherein the respective intents indicate an intended use of data in association with the one or more data processing applications. The device may detect a data usage violation associated with a data processing application, from the one or more data processing applications, that has accessed and processed data from the dataset in the second execution environment, based on an intent associated with the data processing application not being permitted by the one or more permissions. The device may perform an action based on detecting the data usage violation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for conducting searches utilizing search navigation patterns. Search queries are received that include search terms that are of a particular type. It is recognized that at least one prior search session has been conducted that included a search query having search terms of an equivalent or similar type and followed a particular navigation pattern. Such prior search(es) may have been conducted by the user or by a different user and/or may have a navigation pattern that was affirmatively recorded by the requesting user or that was recorded by the system without explicit contemporaneous user instruction to do so. Upon identifying the navigation pattern associated with the prior search, the system effectively conducts a search session following the navigation pattern.

Abstract: Techniques for query execution against relational databases using connection pooling are described. According to some embodiments, a query processing service is disclosed that enables users to execute queries against target relational databases implemented by a relational database service. The service receives query requests originated by a client application at a web service endpoint and identifies a connection to a particular target database. In some examples, the query request is a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) message comprising a query to be executed by a target database instance within the provider network. The service transmits the query for execution at the target database via the connection and obtains a query result based on the execution of the query. The service transforms the query result into a format suitable for the client and transmits a query response to the client.

Abstract: A method is described, comprising: creating, at a coordinating server, a user page cache table, the user page cache table associates a user equipment (UE) identifier with a last known location of the UE and a virtual base station instance; creating, at the coordinating server, a neighbor relation table, the neighbor relation table associates each cell to neighbor cells; receiving, at the coordinating server from a core network, a paging message for a user equipment (UE), the paging message comprises a tracking area identity (TAI), the UE identifier, and the virtual base station instance; querying, at the coordinating server, in the user page cache table based on the UE identifier received in the paging message to identify the virtual base station instance and the last known location; forwarding, from the coordinating server to the last known location of the UE, the paging message based on the queried last known location.

Abstract: A “Concurrent Projector-Camera” uses an image projection device in combination with one or more cameras to enable various techniques that provide visually flicker-free projection of images or video, while real-time image or video capture is occurring in that same space. The Concurrent Projector-Camera provides this projection in a manner that eliminates video feedback into the real-time image or video capture. More specifically, the Concurrent Projector-Camera dynamically synchronizes a combination of projector lighting (or light-control points) on-state temporal compression in combination with on-state temporal shifting during each image frame projection to open a “capture time slot” for image capture during which no image is being projected. This capture time slot represents a tradeoff between image capture time and decreased brightness of the projected image.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a 3G gateway. In a first embodiment, a method is disclosed for a network, comprising: receiving a relocation request message at a home nodeB gateway (HNBGW), the HNBGW coupled to an operator core network, the relocation request message including a target super cell identifier and a user equipment (UE) identifier; sending a second relocation request message from the HNBGW to a coordinating node, the coordinating node having as its identifier the target super cell identifier; querying a lookup table at the coordinating node using the UE identifier to determine a target cell identifier; replacing, in the second relocation request message, the target super cell identifier with the target cell identifier to create a third relocation request message; and sending the third relocation request message to a target cell identified by the target cell identifier.

Abstract: A method and computer readable medium for identifying slow base stations and providing impact mitigation are described. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting that a first base station, using a first queue, is slow, wherein a slow base station is a base station that that cannot keep up with the rate at which a core node is generating update messages over a prolonged period; providing a slow base station queue; and moving the first base station from the first queue to the slow base station queue.

Abstract: The interactive and shared surface technique described herein employs hardware that can project on any surface, capture color video of that surface, and get depth information of and above the surface while preventing visual feedback (also known as video feedback, video echo, or visual echo). The technique provides N-way sharing of a surface using video compositing. It also provides for automatic calibration of hardware components, including calibration of any projector, RGB camera, depth camera and any microphones employed by the technique. The technique provides object manipulation with physical, visual, audio, and hover gestures and interaction between digital objects displayed on the surface and physical objects placed on or above the surface. It can capture and scan the surface in a manner that captures or scans exactly what the user sees, which includes both local and remote objects, drawings, annotations, hands, and so forth.
