Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for dynamically personalizing a wireless communication device. Embodiment methods may include analyzing a USIM AID (Application ID) list contained in the elementary file directory (EF-DIR) of an inserted SIM card for codes for personalization categories indicative of IMSI based, non-IMSI based, or both. Based on the 3G App code in USIM AID found in the EF-DIR, the corresponding personalization categories and values may be retrieved from ME database. The data required for personalization and their values contained in the inserted SIM card may be compared against the personalization category and values retrieved from the database. Access to camp on a mobile network may be dependent on the comparison of personalization category values and codes.

Abstract: A wireless communications system comprises wireless local area network (WLAN), WLAN controller coupled to the WLAN, a core network, a RADIUS based interface, and an interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF.

Abstract: A method is provided of producing chimeric embryos and animals with exclusively donor-derived germ cells. Inactivation of a primordial germ cell specification gene results in the loss of primordial germ cells, the precursor cells for future sperm and egg, and in total loss of the endogenous germline. When complemented with embryonic cells from a desired donor, the resulting surrogate animal has all the resulting germline, and subsequent spermatogenesis, of the donor.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for extracting semantic labels for field widgets of form fields in unfilled forms. In some embodiments, a processing device accesses a representation of a fillable widget of a form field of an unfilled form. The processing device generates an encoded input representing text and layout of a sequence of tokens in a neighborhood of the fillable widget. The processing device uses a machine learning model to extract a semantic label representing a field type of the fillable widget in view of the encoded input. The processing device causes execution of an action using the semantic label.

Abstract: Techniques are described that support automated generation of a digital document from digital videos using machine learning. The digital document includes textual components that describe a sequence of entity and action descriptions from the digital video. These techniques are usable to generate a single digital document based on a plurality of digital videos as well as incorporate user-specified constraints in the generation of the digital document.

Abstract: A request for database results is received from a query coordinator at a database instance of a distributed database. The request includes a query execution instruction of a query plan and an indication of override instructions corresponding to the query execution instruction. The override instructions are such that they do not modify the query plan. The database instance includes the override instructions in a set of high-level language query instructions. The database instance performs just-in-time compiling of the set of high-level language query instructions to obtain a machine language query for performing the query execution instruction of the query plan. The database instance executes the machine language query to obtain the database results. The database instance then transmits the database results to the query coordinator.

Abstract: A distributed metadata cache for a distributed object store includes a plurality of cache entries, an active-cache-entry set and an unreferenced-cache-entry set. Each cache entry includes information relating to whether at least one input/output (IO) thread is referencing the cache entry and information relating to whether the cache entry is no longer referenced by at least one IO thread. Each cache entry in the active-cache-entry set includes information that indicates that at least one IO thread is actively referencing the cache entry. Each cache entry in the unreferenced-cache-entry set is eligible for eviction from the distributed metadata cache by including information that indicates that the cache entry is no longer actively referenced by an IO thread.

Abstract: A first UE can receive a request to communicate from a second UE. The first UE and the second UE can exchange a first cryptographic key and a second cryptographic key associated with the first and the second UE, respectively. The first UE can receive an encrypted unique identifier associated with the second UE, where the unique identifier identifies a second wireless telecommunication network serving the second UE. The first UE can authenticate the second UE by sending the encrypted unique identifier to a first wireless telecommunication network and sending a request to confirm that the unique identifier is valid. The first UE can receive, from the first wireless telecommunication network, a confirmation that the unique identifier is valid. Upon receiving the confirmation, the first UE can engage in a communication with the second UE.
