Abstract: A control system for positioning a marker over a pre-existing roadway surface mark. The control system has one or more imagers having a field of view for imaging an area of roadway mark surface encompassing the roadway mark and a computer having a machine learning network to process the roadway mark image and position the marker over the pre-existing roadway mark.

Abstract: A technique of providing wireless network service utilizes an initial threshold to determine whether a signal received from a cellular device is of sufficient strength to warrant further processing. The technique may be implemented in a power controller of a base station, where the power controller includes an outer loop power control and an inner loop power control. The outer loop power control determines the strength of the received signal and compares it to an initial threshold. If the signal strength is below the initial threshold, the outer loop power control does not process the signal further. However, if the signal strength is above the initial threshold, the outer loop power control determines whether the signal contains any errors. If not, the signal is processed normally.
