Abstract: This description provides an autonomous or semi-autonomous excavation vehicle that is capable determining a route between a start point and an end point in a site and navigating over the route. The sensors collect any or more of spatial, imaging, measurement, and location data to detect an obstacle between two locations within the site. Based on the collected data and identified obstacles, the excavation vehicle generates unobstructed routes circumventing the obstacles, obstructed routes traveling through the obstacles, and instructions for removing certain modifiable obstacles. The excavation vehicle determines and selects the shortest route of the unobstructed and obstructed route and navigates over the selected path to move within the site.

Abstract: An object-detection system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector, a receiver, and a controller. The object-detector detects detectable-objects proximate to a host-vehicle. The receiver receives an indication of an object-presence from other-transmitters proximate to the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the object-detector and the receiver. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle to avoid interference with a hidden-object when the hidden-object is not detected by the object-detector and the object-presence is indicated by at least two instances of the other-transmitters.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for aggregating Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (MPDUs) destined for different peers, and may have the same or different source address information, e.g., within the same or across different virtual access points (VAPs). For example, trigger frames used to signal to devices which subchannel(s) those devices can utilize, may be aggregated. For example, a multi-VAP/multi-device block acknowledgement for acknowledging packets transmitted to devices belonging to different VAPs can be sent as an aggregated MPDU.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for opportunistic spatial reuse. In various embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods provide for mechanisms for enabling and disabling spatial reuse in a wireless network as appropriate based on the deployment of the wireless network. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled based on various factors, such as channel utilization. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled as appropriate for various types of traffic in a wireless network. For example, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled for downlink traffic (e.g., traffic from an access point to a client device), for uplink traffic (e.g., traffic from a client device to an access point), for multicast or broadcast traffic (e.g., traffic distributed to multiple recipients), or for certain modes of transmission (e.g., single user beamformed transmission, Dual Carrier Modulated transmission).

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for distributing a group definition for a group of machines. The method receives the group definition, which includes (i) a span of the group that specifies a set of sites at which the group is to be used and (ii) a set of criteria for machines to be included in the group. The set of criteria includes at least a location criteria specifying one or more sites. The method distributes the group definition to each site in the set of sites. At each site in the set of sites, a local network control system of the site determines a set of machines in the group based on the set of criteria. Only machines in the one or more sites specified by the location criteria are determined to be in the group.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to cognitive identification of credit reporting disputes and dispute resolution using quantum computing. A computing platform may retrieve historical data and current credit report data and identify, using a DNA computing engine, potential reporting inaccuracies. The computing platform may send a recommendation to a computing device of a user to initiate a dispute. Based on receiving input from the user accepting the recommendation, the computing platform may initiate the dispute as a block in a distributed ledger. The computing platform may determine a probability that actual reporting inaccuracies exist. The computing platform may identify parameters for adjustment. In addition, each parameter may indicate a type of change to be made. The computing platform may update an account of the user based on the determined probability and the identified parameters. The computing platform may send a notification to the user indicating a resolution of the dispute.
