  • Patent number: 12213796
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing an olfaction training program by an online service executing on a server. A first object and an aroma of the first object is transmitted to the client device of a user that presents the first object in a virtual reality environment and disperses the first aroma. In response, the user interacts with the vital reality environment. The user response is transmitted back to the online service. The user response is stored in a database along with the first data and the first aroma. The online service determines a second object and an aroma of the second object based on the user response. The second object and the aroma of the second object is transmitted to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20250030467
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to generation of N-port dynamic beams. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be using a 2-port predefined receive beam for communication with a wireless node. The UE may estimate a channel using the predefined receive beam to measure a rank2 reference signal received from the wireless node. The UE may generate a dynamic beam weight to maximize a communication parameter based on the estimated channel. The UE may then apply the dynamic beam weight to an antenna array.
