Abstract: A charging system for an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) is disclosed having a charging coil and one or more sense coils preferably housed in a charging coil assembly coupled to an electronics module by a cable. The charging coil is preferably a wire winding, while the sense coils are preferably formed in one or more traces of a circuit board. One or more voltages induced on the one or more sense coils can be used to determine one or more parameters (magnitude, phase angle, resonant frequency) indicative of the position between the charging coil and the IMD, which position may include the radial offset and possibly also the depth of the charging coil relative to the IMD. Knowing the position, the power of the magnetic field produced by the charging coil can be adjusted to compensate for the position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and tracking a marker in real time is disclosed. Shape based segmentation of at least one object detected in a first frame from a sequence of frames is performed to define a region of interest (ROI) surrounding an object of interest corresponding to the marker. A marker detection model is dynamically trained based on sampling points from a plurality of pixels in and around the ROI. The marker is then tracked in real-time based on projected ROI in subsequent frames and the trained marker detection model. To optimize computation time required in classifying the pixels as marker pixels or non-marker pixels, the ROI is reduced to half its size, classification is performed on the reduced ROI and to improve accuracy, blob detection and classifying pixels along the boundary of the reduced ROI is performed by processing the ROI in original resolution.

Abstract: Software for a distributed streaming platform receives an application. The application is structured as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with instances of operators as nodes and streams as edges between nodes. Multiple instances of an operator access a shared database. The software receives a pre-defined hint associated with the application. The pre-defined hint sets a maximum period of time for local caching of a result from a query of the database by each of the multiple instances. The software launches the application by assigning the instances of operators to one or more containers provided by the streaming platform and initiating the streams. Each container is associated with a local cache. The software then receives a request from the application to make a dynamic adjustment that increases the maximum period of time for local caching of a result from a query of the database by each of the multiple instances.

Abstract: Specialized, service optimized virtual machines are assigned to handle specific types of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An IoT context mapping policy engine within the context of a virtualized network function manages IoT context mapping policy functions in load balancers. The IoT context mapping policy functions select service optimized virtual machines based on IoT device IDs, and assign those virtual machines to handle the devices. The IoT context mapping policy functions provide load data to the IoT context mapping policy engine. Based on the load data, the IoT context mapping policy engine maintains appropriate scaling by creating or tearing down instances of the virtual machines.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable a user device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, etc.) to access network services without having to be connected to a network (e.g., a wireless telecommunications network). A first user device may communicate discovery packets in search of other user devices to which the first user device may connect. The first user device may identify a second user device (as a result of sending the discover packets). The first and second user devices may obtain configuration parameters (e.g., a communication channel allocation, encryption keys, synchronization information, etc.) and may establish a D2D connection based on the configuration parameters. The D2D connection may enable the first and second user devices to communicate with another as though the user devices were connected to a wireless telecommunications network (e.g., via telephone calls, video calls, simple messaging services (SMS) messages, instant messages, etc.).

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable users to access services protected by two-factor security systems without having to provide additional authentication information (e.g., a portion of the user's social security number, biometric information, etc.). An application server may provide one or more services, such as a social networking service, an online banking service, etc. When a user device attempts to access the service, the user may provide a username and password, to the application server, as the first factor of a two-factor authentication process required to access the service. However, instead of requiring the user to provide additional authentication information (e.g., the second factor), a network authentication server, the application server, and the user device may collaborate to automatically provide the additional authentication information.

Wireless base stations of a wireless mobility network are identified, responsive to the request, wherein the wireless base stations provide wireless communication services within the area, including a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) service. A wireless transmission is facilitated of a first broadcast message by the wireless base stations, wherein the first broadcast message identifies the group of wireless communication devices. The broadcast message is transmitted by way of the MBMS service of the wireless communication services. The first broadcast message initiates a state transition to an active state for a plurality of wireless communication devices of the group of wireless communication devices configured in an idle state. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A group of wireless access terminals is determined based on the geographical area, wherein the group of wireless access terminals provides wireless services of the wireless mobility network to a serving area within the geographical area.

Abstract: In order to dynamically allocate spectrum resources to broadcast and unicast operations, user equipment (UE) sends a start message to a broadcast multicast tracking application in response to the UE deciding to start receiving a content stream. The start message includes cell site information where the user equipment is located and a channel identification indicating the content stream. The tracking application tracks the number of active listeners to the content stream in the cell and based on the number of active listeners and cell utilization, determines whether to initiate a broadcast. If the broadcast is initiated, the tracking application sends a message to the UE to retune to a broadcast channel. The UE sends a stop message when the UE decides to stop receiving the content stream and the tracking application and determines whether to terminate the broadcast based on the remaining active listeners and the cell utilization.
