Abstract: The technology of this application relates to a reference signal sending method and apparatus and a reference signal configuration method and apparatus. The reference signal sending method includes a terminal device switching from a first carrier of a first serving cell to a second carrier of a non-serving cell. The terminal device sends a sounding reference signal (SRS) by using the second carrier. According to the method and apparatus in this application, a communication bandwidth is decoupled from a positioning bandwidth through SRS carrier switching of a non-serving cell, thereby meeting a high-precision positioning requirement of an Internet-of-Things (IoT)-type terminal device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for direct assignment of physical devices to confidential virtual machines (VMs). At a first guest privilege context of a guest partition, a direct assignment of a physical device associated with a host computer system to the guest partition is identified. The guest partition includes the first guest privilege context and a second guest privilege context, which is restricted from accessing memory associated with the first guest privilege context. The guest partition corresponds to a confidential VM, such that a memory region associated with the guest partition is inaccessible to a host operating system. It is determined, based on a policy, that the physical device is allowed to be directly assigned to the guest partition. Communication between the physical device and the second guest privilege context is permitted, such as by exposing the physical device on a virtual bus and/or forwarding an interrupt.

Abstract: In a method for advanced identification of a customer, a customer may remotely place an order, intending to later go to a store to pick up the ordered item. The store may have a pick-up area (e.g., at the back of the store) where the customer can go to pick up the ordered item. To save the customer time, the customer may be identified when she enters the store so that an employee can obtain her ordered item and have it ready to pick up by the time the customer walks through the store and arrives at the pick-up area.

Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

Abstract: Encoding can involve correcting chroma components representing the chroma of an input image according to a first component representing a mapping of the luminance component of said input image used for reducing or increasing the dynamic range of said luminance component, and a reconstructed component representing an inverse mapping of said first component. At least one correction factor according to said at least one scaled chroma components can also be obtained and transmitted. Decoding can involve scaled chroma components being obtained by multiplying chroma components of an image by at least one corrected chroma correction function depending on said at least one correction factor. Components of a reconstructed image can then be derived as a function of said scaled chroma components and a corrected matrix that depends on an inverse of a theoretical color space matrix conversion and said at least one correction factor.
