Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a faked video is provided herein. During operation, when a video, or video call is received from a device, a simultaneous audio call is placed to the device (i.e., the video call and audio call take place simultaneously in time). The audio streams on both the video and audio call are compared, and a difference between the audio streams is identified. The video is deemed a potential fake if the difference between the audio streams is above a particular threshold.

Abstract: Techniques for a digital assistant to receive intent input from a secondary user are provided. A digital assistant receives a query intent from a primary user, wherein the primary user is authorized to provide query intents. It is determined, based on the query intent, that intent input will be provided by a secondary user, wherein the secondary user is not authorized to provide query intents. Intent input provided by the secondary user is received. The digital assistant processes the query intent using the intent input. The results of the query intent are provided to the primary user.

A valve seat is disposed within the fluid passageway. A movable valve plug is disposed within the fluid passageway, and the valve plug interacts with the valve seat to selectively open or close the fluid passageway. A cage is disposed in the fluid passageway, the cage surrounds the valve plug, and the cage includes a mechanical stop that limits movement of the valve plug within the cage away from the valve seat.

Abstract: A method of operating a talk group server to control a virtual talk group member. During operation, the talk group server determines an assignment for a virtual talk group member to join a first talk group and communicate on behalf of a talk group member associated with a second talk group. The talk group server obtains user profile associated with the talk group member and causes the virtual talk group member to join the first talk group using the user profile associated with the talk group member. The talk group server then controls the virtual talk group member to perform the assignment by generating audio communications as a function of the user profile associated with the talk group member and transmitting audio communications on the first talk group.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for PTT over IoT is described herein. During operation IoT devices will be dynamically added to a particular talkgroup. The particular devices added to the talkgroup will be based on a current public-safety event along with a location of the public-safety officer.

Abstract: A user's device will periodically send short PTT bursts to an application talkgroup and wait for an acknowledgement (ACK). The acknowledgement will allow the software application to execute the application as part of the site license. If the site license is used up (i.e., a maximum number of simultaneous users has been reached), then a negative acknowledgment (NACK) will be sent to the device, and the software will deny the user access to the software.
