Abstract: Technologies described herein are generally directed to facilitating the allocation, scheduling, and management of network slice resources. According some embodiments, a system can facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include facilitating receiving information regarding a characteristic of a potential connection, by a user device, to respective network devices of a group of provider networks. The operations can further include facilitating selecting an identifier resource from a group of identifier resources, the group comprising the identifier resources available to the user device for a connection to a corresponding network device of a provider network from the respective network devices of the group of provider networks, resulting in a selected identifier resource. Further, the operations can include communicating the selected identifier resource to the user device for use by the user device to establish the connection to the corresponding network device.

Abstract: An implantable device for controlling electrical conditions of body tissue. A feedback sense electrode and a compensation electrode are positioned proximal to the tissue to make electrical contact with the tissue. A feedback amplifier is referenced to ground, and takes as an input a feedback signal from the feedback sense electrode. The output of the feedback amplifier is connected to the compensation electrode. The feedback amplifier thus drives the neural tissue via the compensation electrode in a feedback arrangement which seeks to drive the feedback signal to ground, or other desired electrical value.

Abstract: A method of applying a neural stimulus with an implanted electrode array involves applying a sequence of stimuli configured to yield a therapeutic effect while suppressing psychophysical side effects. The stimuli sequence is configured such that a first stimulus recruits a portion of the fibre population, and a second stimulus is delivered within the refractory period following the first stimulus and the second stimulus being configured to recruit a further portion of the fibre population. Using an electrode array and suitable relative timing of the stimuli, ascending or descending volleys of evoked responses can be selectively synchronised or desynchronised to give directional control over responses evoked.

Abstract: Communication terminal includes a first microphone system, a second microphone system, and a noise reduction processing unit (NRPU). The NRPU receives a primary signal from the first microphone system and a secondary signal from the second microphone system. The NRPU dynamically identify an optimal transfer function of a correction filter which can be applied to the secondary signal provided by the second microphone system to obtain a correction signal. The correction signal is subtracted from the primary signal to obtain a remainder signal which approximates a signal of interest contained within the primary signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of cleaning a surface of a support structure in a lithographic system in which a cleaning substrate has at least one motor which causes the cleaning substrate to move laterally across the surface. The cleaning substrate may be provided with a power supply mounted on the cleaning substrate and selectably electrically connectable to the motor.

Abstract: An implantable device for estimating neural recruitment arising from a stimulus, has a plurality of electrodes. A stimulus source provides stimuli to be delivered from the electrodes to neural tissue. Measurement circuitry obtains a measurement of a neural signal sensed at the electrodes. A control unit is configured to control application of a selected stimulus to neural tissue using the stimulus electrodes; and after the selected neural stimulus, apply a probe stimulus having a short pulse width. A remnant neural response evoked by the probe stimulus is measured; and the control unit estimates from the remnant neural response a neural recruitment caused by the selected neural stimulus.
