  • Patent number: 11411863
    Abstract: Metadata may be embedded in a service chain header (SCH) appended to a packet that is forwarded over a service chain path. The metadata may include information that is used to process the packet at a downstream service function chain (SFC) entity on the service chain path. The metadata TLV field may identify a service action to be performed by a downstream SFC entity. For example, the metadata TLV field may instruct the downstream SFC entity to drop the packet, to redirect the packet (or a traffic flow associated with the packet), to mirror a traffic flow, to terminate a communication connection, to start or stop a packet accounting, and/or to apply a higher grade of service. Alternatively, the metadata TLV field specifies an OAM service action list that identifies service actions that have been performed on the packet.

  • Patent number: 11405967
    Abstract: A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a request for a connection from a user equipment (UE) device via cellular wireless signals and detect that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection associated with a private network. The processor may be further configured to select a private application service network slice, from a plurality of network slices, for the connection, in response to detecting that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection, and route packets associated with the connection to destination devices in the private network using wireless signals while preventing the packets associated with the connection from leaving the private network via a backhaul connection associated with the device.

  • Publication number: 20220235684
    Abstract: A method for preheating a catalytic converter which is arranged in the exhaust-gas flow of a motor vehicle and which has an electrically heated catalyst is described. The catalytic converter is preheated with the electrically heated catalyst to a maximum temperature within a period of time before the initial engine starting operation. In the process, the temperature of the electrically heated catalyst and the battery state of the vehicle are monitored. During the preheating, it is checked whether or not the battery state has fallen below a state threshold. If so, the heating of the electrically heated catalyst is stopped, and engine-internal measures are implemented. If not, further heating of the electrically heated catalyst is implemented until the maximum temperature is reached again.

  • Publication number: 20220215569
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision, and discloses an acceleration method of depth estimation for multiband stereo cameras. In the process of depth estimation, during binocular stereo matching in each band, through compression of matched images, on one hand, disparity equipotential errors caused by binocular image correction can be offset to make the matching more accurate, and on the other hand, calculation overhead is reduced. In addition, before cost aggregation, cost diagrams are transversely compressed and sparsely matched, thereby reducing the calculation overhead again. Disparity diagrams obtained under different modes are fused to obtain all-weather, more complete and more accurate depth information.

  • Publication number: 20220207776
    Abstract: A disparity image fusion method for multiband stereo cameras belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision. The method obtains pixel disparity confidence information by using the intermediate output of binocular disparity estimation. The confidence information can be used to judge the disparity credibility of the position and assist disparity fusion. The confidence acquisition process makes full use of the intermediate output of calculation, and can be conveniently embedded into the traditional disparity estimation process, with high calculation efficiency and simple and easy operation. In the disparity image fusion method for multiband stereo cameras proposed by the method, the disparity diagrams participating in the fusion are obtained according to the binocular images of the corresponding bands, which makes full use of the information of each band and simultaneously avoiding introducing uncertainty and errors.
