Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a network entity may determine a set of topologies associated with a non-linear distortion characteristic of a wireless communication at a set of devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a base station). For example, a single waveform may have different distortion characteristics on different frequencies. Each of one or more topologies of the set of topologies may include a frequency spectrum mask for the wireless communication. The wireless communication may include a waveform at a first frequency.

The network entity may transmit first control signaling indicating the set of topologies associated with the non-linear distortion characteristic of the waveform.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a mobile memory module in an automatic transfer switch (ATS) allow the memory module to be easily removed from a controller of the ATS. The mobile memory module is a discrete, nonvolatile memory module that stores operational settings for the ATS and can be mounted and removed via a removable fastener. When thus mounted, the mobile memory module is connected to a signal path that allows data communication with a microprocessor on the controller. The microprocessor can retrieve operational settings from the mobile memory module as needed and store updated or new operational settings on the mobile memory module as required. In some embodiments, the mobile memory module has a protective outer housing that is hardened to withstand catastrophic transfer switch failure while still retaining all operational settings stored on the module.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for enabling user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) to communicate using a set of frequency resources in which a subset of frequency resources include a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS).

Abstract: Some implementations pertain to a transflective display device comprising a display surface, an optical path, and/or other components. The optical path may spatially modulate light emitted from a primary light source and direct it to the display surface, generating a display of visual information. The optical path may include a reflective spatial light modulator and a set of Light Emitting Diodes. The modulator may receive light from the primary light source and selectively reflect it toward the display surface. The Light Emitting Diodes may emit light directed to the backside of the modulator, including white light and light of a first color. Some implementations may include drivers to control the intensity of the light emitted by the Light Emitting Diodes, dictating the tone of the light transmitted through the modulator. This configuration may facilitate the creation of a uniform, high-quality display.

Abstract: A method for generating in semiconductor hardware a dot product of two floating-point vectors. The method accesses the elements of the two vectors and performs a multiply in hardware. Before performing the multiply, the exponents of the elements can be checked to determine if the result would exceed the range of the fixed-point accumulator and the multiplication of the elements skipped if exceeded. The elements passing the optional check are multiplied. The resulting product is converted to a fixed-point number and summed with an accumulator. The dot product hardware can be part of an integrated semiconductor implementation of a neural network.

The system may then determine, based on a threshold defined for the time period, that the sum satisfies defined criteria. The system may then perform an operation intending to limit further in-application transfers associated with the first account during the time period.
