Abstract: The methods and systems herein enable dynamic cellular antenna allocation. Respective statuses of cellular radios are first received. Each of the statuses comprise an idle status or an active status with one or more operating bands. The operating bands are then evaluated for potential interferences between each other and with one or more other radios. Based on the statuses and the potential interferences, a configuration of a switch matrix configured to connect each of a plurality of cellular antennas to either one of the cellular radios or to a termination resistor is determined. The configuration is such that antennas connected to the cellular radios with the potential interferences are physically isolated from each other and any unused cellular antennas are connected to the termination resistor. The configuration is then applied to the switch matrix such that the potential interferences may be mitigated.

Abstract: A system and method for generating 3D-aware reconstructions of a static or dynamic scene by using a neural network to encode captured images of the scene into a compact spatio-temporal polynomial latent space scene model. Image frames of a scene are received. Each image frame is associated with camera extrinsics including a three-dimensional (3D) camera location and a camera direction. A neural network is trained using the image frames (e.g., video frames) and the camera extrinsics to encode the frames as models of the scene in a spatio-temporal polynomial latent space. The models of the scene are transmitted to a viewing device including a latent model decoder. The latent model decoder is configured to decode the models to generate imagery corresponding to novel 3D views of the scene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to feed compositions that can modify the feeding behavior of animals. Supplements can be added to no or low roughage rations that improve the performance of animals. In particular, the addition of calcium chloride to a low or no roughage ration can increase the number of feedings but decrease the amount of feeding per meal. This can result in promoting enhances feed conversion and better cost of feed to weight gain.

Abstract: An inserter for treating glaucoma can comprise a housing, a needle, a plunger, a slider component, and a drive component. The drive component is disposed within a cavity of the housing and rotatable within the cavity to result in movement along a longitudinal axis of the inserter to the needle and the plunger upon rotation of the drive component. The slider component is coupled to the housing and slidable along an elongate groove of the drive component such that movement of the slider component along the axis rotates the drive component within the housing.

Abstract: A switching circuit for power management circuits and front-end modules (FEMs) is disclosed. In one aspect, a switching circuit is made from N-type field effect transistors (NFETs) that couple directly to charge pumps associated with converters in the power management circuits. The charge pumps provide a desired gate bias for the NFETs to allow for low loss across the source drain of the NFET. By providing such an NFET-based switching circuit, different FEMs may be coupled to different converters across a wide voltage range. NFETs are smaller than comparable P-type FETs (PFETs) and require less control circuitry. Accordingly, space and cost may be reduced while still providing desired performance across a desired voltage range.
