Patent number: 11889345Abstract: Systems and methods for balancing load in an area of a wireless network comprising first nodes operating according to a first Radio Access Technology and at least one second node operating according to a second Radio Access Technology. The method comprises establishing a connection between a user device and a first node; receiving an indication of an entry threshold for establishing a connection between the user device and a second node during a current time period, wherein the entry threshold is determined in dependence on an expected usage requirement for the area of the wireless network during the current time period; determining, by the user device, whether a parameter of a signal received from the second node exceeds the entry threshold; and responsive to determining that the parameter of the signal received from the second node exceeds the entry threshold, establishing, by the first node, a dual connectivity session between the user device and both the first and the second nodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: EXFO Solutions SASInventors: Marc Nieto Aliques, David García Roger, Daniel Calabuig Soler, Pau Usach Molina, María Victoria Bausá Aragonés, Francisco Vicente Guillén Ruiz, Eduardo Palomero Lopez

Patent number: 10573349Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can obtain a first image of a first user depicting a face of the first user with a neutral expression or position. A first image of a second user depicting a face of the second user with a neutral expression or position can be identified, wherein the face of the second user is similar to the face of the first user based on satisfaction of a threshold value. A second image of the first user depicting the face of the first user with an expression different from the neutral expression or position can be generated based on a second image of the second user depicting the face of the second user with an expression or position different from the neutral expression or position.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Fernando De la Torre, Dong Huang, Francisco Vicente Carrasco
