Abstract: Systems and methods for small cell idle mode mobility include receiving, at a first small cell of a preconfigured cluster of small cells, a mobility area update request from a user equipment (UE). The method can also include registering location information of the UE with a small cell gateway, and retrieving a core network periodic timer for the UE from a mobility server. If certain conditions are met, the first small cell forwards the mobility area update request to a core network via the small cell gateway. Otherwise, the method can include the first small cell updating the location information of the UE with the mobility server, generating a locally-generated mobility area update accept message, and sending a locally generated mobility area update accept message to the UE along with a local periodic timer instructing the UE to send another mobility area update request when the local periodic timer expires.

Abstract: Embodiments include receiving one or more packets of a Wi-Fi calling session via a secure tunnel from a user device, where the user device is connected to a source network via a Wi-Fi access point. Embodiments also include determining whether the Wi-Fi calling session is a threat based, at least in part, on identifying an anomaly of at least one packet of the one or more packets. An action can be taken if the Wi-Fi calling communication is determined to be a threat. More specific embodiments include determining the at least one packet is associated with the Wi-Fi calling session by correlating information in the packet with control plane data of the Wi-Fi calling session. Further embodiments can include intercepting the one or more packets in a second secure tunnel established between an evolved packet data gateway and a service provider network associated with the user device.

Abstract: A portable exercise apparatus retention mechanism with a base platform, an exercise apparatus retainer, and at least one extendible and retractable retaining structure fixed to the base platform with first and second end portions for engaging first and second opposed surfaces when at least one of the end portions is extended.

Abstract: Systems and methods of are disclosed for providing visual feedback to a subject during magnetic resonance imaging, where the visual feedback is associated with input provided by the subject to a magnetic resonance compatible touch panel. A video camera is employed to record video images of the interaction between the subject and the touch panel, and the video images are processed to generate a real-time video signal including a rendering of the input provided to the touch panel and the interaction between the subject's hands and the touch panel. The real-time video signal is provided to the subject as visual feedback, and is displayed within a time duration that is sufficiently fast to avoid the detection of the visual feedback as an error signal with the subject's brain in relation to the sense of proprioception. A measurement of the force applied to the touch panel by the subject may be recorded and employed when rendering the real-time video.
