  • Patent number: 11514605
    Abstract: Computer automated interactive activity recognition based on keypoint detection includes retrieving, by one or more processors, a temporal sequence of image frames from a video recording. The one or more processors identify first and second keypoints in each of the image frames in the temporal sequence using machine learning techniques. The first keypoints are associated with an object in the temporal sequence of image frames while the second keypoints are associated with an individual interacting with the object. The one or more processors combine the first keypoints with the second keypoints and extract spatial-temporal features from the combination that are used to train a classification model based on which interactive activities can be recognized.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configuration to perform cooperative radar sensing. The configuration may indicate resources for the first UE to use to communicate radar measurement reports. The UE may receive, from another UE on the identified resources, a radar measurement report that includes values for one or more radar measurement parameters for a first radar target and a time stamp associated with the values. The UE may identify a second set of values for the radar measurement parameters (e.g., its own measurements, or measurements received from a third UE in another radar measurement reports). The UE may generate a combined set of values for the radar measurement parameters for each time stamp by combining the first set of values and the second set of values.

  • Publication number: 20220349985
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) (e.g., a vehicle) may determine a configuration, including an offset value for the radar waveform, for transmitting a radar waveform for multiple radar transmitters. The UE may transmit, according to the identified configuration, a first instance of the radar waveform with a first radar transmitter. The UE may also transmit a second instance of the radar waveform with a second radar transmitter. The second instance of the radar waveform may be offset from the first instance of the radar waveform by the offset value. The Offset value may be a time offset, a frequency offset, or both. The UE may identify at least one object, and may filter our interference between the first instance of the radar waveform and the second instance of the radar waveform based on the offset.

  • Patent number: 11483064
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently determining appropriate uplink frequencies for uplink transmissions to a satellite. As described herein, a wireless communications system may support a closed loop frequency correction scheme where a satellite may provide an uplink frequency correction to a user equipment (UE) such that the UE may be able to identify an appropriate uplink frequency for an uplink transmission. In some implementations, the UE may first transmit an uplink signal to the satellite on an initial uplink frequency, and the satellite may determine a corrected uplink frequency for the UE based on the initial uplink frequency. The satellite may then transmit an indication of the corrected uplink frequency to the UE, and the UE may transmit a second uplink signal based on the corrected uplink frequency.

The series of crocins compounds are obtained by taking the Chinese herb, namely Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, as a raw material and separating same by means of various methods. The compounds playing a role in preventing oxidative injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and excitatory amino acid injury caused by L-glutamic acid are screened out by in-vitro cell experiments. The results show that the crocins compounds have good effect in preventing cell injury caused by H2O2 and L-glutamic acid. The compounds have good effect in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease due to the fact that significant rise of oxidative stress and excitatory amino acid is a key factor for nerve injury in Alzheimer's disease, and have broad development and application prospect.
