  • Publication number: 20240090026
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a wireless communication device divides a plurality of transmission beams into one or more groups of transmission beams including at least a first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam requirement for the first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam and a first scale factor so that the first sensing beam satisfies the first sensing beam requirement scaled by the first scale factor. The first sensing beam is selected from a set of candidate sensing beams. The wireless communication device performs a first Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) using the first sensing beam and a first energy detection threshold (EDT), the first EDT determined in accordance with the first scale factor.

  • Publication number: 20210220739
    Abstract: Some embodiments herein can include methods and systems for predicting next poses of a character within a virtual gaming environment. The pose prediction system can identify a current pose of a character, generate a gaussian distribution representing a sample of likely poses based on the current pose, and apply the gaussian distribution to the decoder. The decoder can be trained to generate a predicted pose based on a gaussian distribution of likely poses. The system can then render the predicted next pose of the character within the three-dimensional virtual gaming environment. Advantageously, the pose prediction system can apply a decoder that does not include or use input motion capture data that was used to train the decoder.

  • Patent number: 9735563
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a power supply configured to supply power and a first electrical circuit breaker electrically coupled to the power supply. The apparatus includes a first electrical circuit electrically coupled to receive power from the power supply through the first electrical circuit breaker. The apparatus includes a second electrical circuit breaker electrically coupled to the power supply and a second electrical circuit. During operation of the apparatus, in response to detection that at least one of the current and the voltage of the power has exceeded the operating threshold for the first electrical circuit, the power supply and the first electrical circuit breaker are configured to power off, wherein the shutting off of the power supply prevents supplying the power from the power supply to the second electrical circuit breaker that is electrically coupled to the second electrical circuit to receive the power from the power supply.

  • Patent number: 8436723
    Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system is provided that is particularly useful for gathering data relating to noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). The system may include noise and vibrations sensors that sense the noise or vibration levels at various vehicle locations. The sensors generate an output signal that is analyzed by a control unit. The control unit compares the output signal with a predetermined value and if the predetermined value is exceeded, the control unit stores the information. The control unit may also receive information from the engine control unit and store that information also. Information from the sensors may also be stored at predetermined intervals. The information may be downloaded to an output device for storing the data and building a database.

  • Publication number: 20130031389
    Abstract: A computer system with an over-subscription mode of power-supplying device is provided. The computer system includes at least a power-consuming device, at least a power-supplying device, and a power management controller. The at least a power-supplying device supplies power to the at least a power-consuming device. The output power of the at least a power-supplying device has a maximum label value, a safety limitation value higher than the maximum label value, and an over-subscription zone between the maximum label value and the safety limitation value. The power management controller is coupled with the at least a power-supplying device and the at least a power-consuming device that controls the power consumption of the at least a power-consuming device. If the output power exceeds the maximum label value to enter the over-subscription zone, the power management controller will lower the power consumption of the power-consuming device(s).
