Abstract: Systems and methods for affecting spin qubits. In a resonator, an optical field is generated using photons. The optical field causes a stress field to form in the resonator as portions of the resonator oscillates. These oscillations, tunable using lasers and/or injection locking, drive spin transitions to thereby affect the population of specific NV spin qubits present in the resonator.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving at a core enterprise network of a private cellular network a device identifier from devices that are to interact with the core enterprise network that do not include a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Based on the device identifier, the devices are attached to the core enterprise network. Subsequent to attaching the devices, the devices are provided a limited access portal that receives user authentication credentials from the devices. The user authentication credentials are received from the devices and the user authentication credentials are used to authenticate the devices. When the user authentication credentials are authenticated by the core enterprise network the devices are provided with full access to the network services of the core enterprise network. Then interactions between the core enterprise network and the devices are done using the transmit and receive infrastructure of the private cellular network.

Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a method of operating a long-term evolution (LTE) network device, including: communicatively coupling to a public data network gateway (PGW); providing an LTE function; receiving an incoming packet; looking up a destination of the incoming packet on a tunneling table including a tunneling endpoint identifier (TEID) and an internet protocol (IP) address; determining that the destination of the incoming packet is reachable via a route shorter than traversing the PGW; and routing the packet via the shorter route, comprising cutting through a tunnel for the packet. There is also disclosed an apparatus and a computer-readable medium for performing the method.

Abstract: A serving gateway updates location information for a mobile device based on information in an update bearer request. The serving gateway receives a first update bearer request for a mobile device. The first update bearer request includes a first address associated with a micro cellular service base station to which the mobile device is in communication. The micro cellular service base station is associated with a physical location. The serving gateway sends a location notification to a location server, indicating that the mobile device is physically near the micro cellular service base station. The serving gateway receives a second update bearer request for the mobile device including an address associated with a macro cellular service base station. The serving gateway sends another location notification to the location server indicating that the mobile device is no longer at the physical location of the micro cellular service base station.

Abstract: A method and system for managing the transfer of data from one tape to another. The system uses an operating system to control a plurality of tape drives and a tape manager. The system is configured to enable a user to create a stacked tape, unstack a previously stacked tape, and/or consolidate a previously stacked tape. When a stack is created, data is copied from one or more input tapes to an output tape in any desired format using American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard labeling conventions. When a user requests that data be unstacked, virtual tape volume (VTVs) on one or more input tapes are located and copied to respective opened output tapes. When data is consolidated, VTVs on one or more input tapes are copied to a single output tape. When data consolidation or stack creation is complete, a directory is written to the output tape.

Abstract: A method, computing device, operating system and configuration tool for optimizing or at least improving task dispatch in a priority pre-emptive real-time context are disclosed. Tasks making up an operating system are categorized into various classes in accordance with various task attributes, such as need to save floating point context, need to save digital signal processor context and the like. Each class contains only tasks having a unique combination of attributes. An individual subdispatcher function is then generated for each class, the subdispatcher function being adapted to handle tasks within that class with high efficiency. In this way, unnecessary saving and loading of contexts is reduced, and operating efficiency is improved.
