  • Patent number: 11968015
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, such as a number of simultaneous feedback reports that can be processed and reported by the UE for various types of feedback. For example, UE feedback processing capability may depend on channel state information (CSI) processing units (CPUs) available to the UE for feedback processing operations (e. g., for performing channel measurements, processing feedback, generating a feedback report, etc.). A UE may report feedback processing capability separately for periodic feedback reporting and for aperiodic feedback reporting, for different types of feedback reporting (e. g., for CSI reporting, for beam management reporting, etc.), etc. As such, a UE may more efficiently report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, and a base station may more efficiently configure UE feedback reporting according to UE feedback processing capability.

  • Patent number: 11941660
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing conversion path performance measures and reports. In one aspect, user interaction data are obtained, were the user interaction data specify user interactions for a plurality of conversions. User interactions that are associated with each conversion are selected from the user interaction data, where the associated user interactions for each conversion are user interactions with a converting user during the conversion cycle for the conversion. Using the user interaction data for the selected user interactions, a quantity of user interactions that are associated with each conversion and occurred during the conversion cycle for the conversion are determined. In turn, conversion path performance measures are computed and reports specifying the conversion path performance measures are generated.

  • Publication number: 20240087955
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming tungsten features in semiconductor devices is provided. The method includes exposing a top opening of a feature formed in a substrate to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process to deposit a tungsten liner layer within the feature. The PVD process is performed in a first processing region of a first processing chamber and the tungsten liner layer forms an overhang portion, which partially obstructs the top opening of the feature. The substrate is transferred from the first processing region of the first processing chamber to a second processing region of a second processing chamber without breaking vacuum. The overhang portion is exposed to nitrogen-containing radicals in the second processing region to inhibit subsequent growth of tungsten along the overhang portion. The feature is exposed to a tungsten-containing precursor gas to form a tungsten fill layer over the tungsten liner layer within the feature.

  • Patent number: 10915260
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform dual-mode deduplication based on backup history. A fingerprint of a data segment of a data stream is calculated and a determination is made as to whether the fingerprint of the data segment matches a corresponding fingerprint in a cache. If the fingerprint matches the corresponding fingerprint, another fingerprint of a subsequent data segment of the data stream is calculated. If the fingerprint does not match the corresponding fingerprint, a segment boundary of the data stream is calculated based on a hash value, a determination is made that a new fingerprint calculated based on the segment boundary does not match the corresponding fingerprint, segment boundaries and new fingerprints are calculated, and a determination is made that a first fingerprint matches another corresponding fingerprint in the cache.

    Abstract: A measurement initiation method for inter-frequency/inter-system cell reselection and UE thereof are described. A signal quality value of a current serving cell is obtained for many times, and a signal quality value smaller than or equal to a threshold of measurement initiation of a neighboring inter-frequency/inter-system cell is stored storing until L signal quality values are obtained; a mean signal quality value is obtained by calculation according to the obtained L signal quality values, and when the mean signal quality value is greater than a signal quality reference threshold, UE initiates the measurement of the neighboring inter-frequency/inter-system cell. By using the method and UE, the problem that UE frequently initiates measurement of a neighboring inter-frequency/inter-system cell even when UE does not move or moves a little can be solved, the power of the UE can be saved, and the radiation produced by the UE on a mobile user can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9495379
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for implementing a two-level fingerprint caching scheme for a client cache and a server cache. The client cache hit ratio can be improved by pre-populating the client cache with fingerprints that are relevant to the client. Relevant fingerprints include fingerprints used during a recent time period (e.g., fingerprints of segments that are included in the last full backup image and any following incremental backup images created for the client after the last full backup image), and thus are referred to as fingerprints with good temporal locality. Relevant fingerprints also include fingerprints associated with a storage container that has good spatial locality, and thus are referred to as fingerprints with good spatial locality. A pre-set threshold established for the client cache (e.g., threshold Tc) is used to determine whether a storage container (and thus fingerprints associated with the storage container) has good spatial locality.

  • Publication number: 20160217376
    Abstract: In the method and system for knowledge extraction of this invention, knowledge extraction is realized through acquiring an initial sentence group including one or more sentences, and then comparing the length of the initial sentence group with an expected length to determine the initial sentence group to be expanded according to the comparison result. Since the sentence groups are formed by consecutive sentences, it may be guaranteed that the sentence groups themselves have good coherence in logic, so that the final sentence groups obtained through expanding the initial sentence groups have good coherence in logic correspondingly. Thus, this invention may override the drawback of lacking logical coherence in extracted knowledge information in the prior art.
