  • Patent number: 11515986
    Abstract: A mechanism is presented for attributing users to one or more of a plurality of sub-bands in a multiple access communications system, wherein in an initial assignment phase, a first user is selected for a sub band, for example on the basis of a user priority. Users having complementary channel gains to that of the first user are identified, and then a second sub-band user maximizing a performance metric reflecting the achieved throughput, and/or fairness across users, is selected to accompany the first user on that sub-band. The initial assignment phase may terminate once all users have been assigned to a sub-band once. After the first phase is complete, the first user for each sub-band may be the user whose achieved total throughput is furthest from a target throughput defined for that user, wherein each user is assigned to the remaining sub-band to which no first user is currently attributed offering the highest channel gain for that user.

  • Publication number: 20220371626
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for dynamically re-routing a pick path to an alternate pick location in response to identifying a shorted product at a pick location. The dynamic decision to re-route an autonomous vehicle is based on completion scores representing a likelihood of completing order in an autonomous vehicle, a maximum remaining time, an additional pick time, and order priorities. Based on various weights for factors of the orders, a system may re-route the autonomous vehicle to fulfill a shorted order at an alternate location when no orders have a high likelihood of completion, the additional pick time associated with re-routing the autonomous vehicle to the alternate pick location is less than the maximum remaining time for each order on the autonomous vehicle, and/or none of the orders on the autonomous vehicle have a higher priority than the shorted order.

  • Publication number: 20220369997
    Abstract: Central nervous (“CNS”) health in subjects who have human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) or non-human-species analogs thereof is 102 evaluated or otherwise monitored by analyzing frequency following response (“FFR”). In general, one or more components of an FFR are analyzed, The FFR is measured in response to the administration of an acoustic stimulus to the subject. The acoustic stimulus includes a complex sound, which may include a consonant and a consonant-to-vowel transition. An indication of CNS health can be generated by measuring changes in the FFR components (e.g., over time or relative to normative data).

  • Publication number: 20220375536
    Abstract: Systems, devices, circuits, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that enable storing and searching arbitrary segments of ranges of analog values are disclosed. Various analog content addressable memory (aCAM) circuit implementations having the capability to store and search outside of a range of values, within any of multiple disjoint ranges, or outside of multiple ranges are disclosed. The disclosed aCAM circuit implementations make searching for complex input features more flexible and efficient, thereby yielding a technological improvement over conventional solutions. In some implementations, an aCAM may include multiple pull-down transistors connected in series to a match line that is pre-charged, in which case, the aCAM detects a match if the match line is not discharged by the pull-down transistors, which occurs if at least one pull-down transistor is in an OFF state. In other implementations, an aCAM includes pass gates connected to a match line to detect a match.

  • Publication number: 20220372567
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and systems for single-extracellular (EV), multi-omic analysis of target EVs without microfluidic devices. The disclosed methods involve the use of template particles to template the formation of monodisperse droplets to generally capture a single target EV from a population of EVs in an encapsulation, derive a plurality of distinct mRNA molecules from the single target EV, and quantify the distinct mRNA molecules to generate an expression profile. Nucleic-acid-tagged antibody conjugates are used for simultaneous proteomic analysis along with the gene expression profiling, which enables classification of an EV in a sample.
