Patent number: 10327159Abstract: Convergence times associated with simulated annealing based (SA-based) optimization in wireless networks can be reduced by introducing an additional local or cell-level evaluation step into the evaluation of global solutions. In particular, new local solutions may be evaluated based on local performance criteria when the new solutions are in a global solution deemed to have satisfied a global performance criteria. New local solutions that satisfy their corresponding local performance criteria remain in the new global solution. New local solutions that do not satisfy their corresponding local performance criteria are replaced with a corresponding current local solution from a current global solution, thereby modifying the new global solution. The resulting modified global solution includes both new local solutions and current local solutions prior to being accepted as the current global solution for the next iteration.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yongxi Tan, Jin Yang, Nandu Gopalakrishnan, Yan Xin, James Mathew, Kamalaharan Dushyanthan, Iyad Alfalujah, Yanjie Fu

Patent number: 9897289Abstract: A light fixture includes a housing with a skylight aperture, and one or more louver blades spanning the skylight aperture. When open, the one or more movable louver blades block little of the light passing through the skylight aperture; in intermediate positions, the louver blades block a portion of the light; when closed, the louver blades block most light from passing through the skylight aperture. The light fixture also includes: a dimmable artificial light source configured to project artificial light toward the illuminated space; a light sensor that detects light illuminating the space; and a control unit that is integrated with the housing and communicates with the light sensor. The light sensor detects intensity and chromaticity information of the light illuminating the space. The control unit controls position of the louver blades and brightness and chromaticity of the dimmable artificial light source, in response to the light sensor.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: ABL IP Holdings LLCInventors: Phoebus Biron, James Mathew Ernst, Ryan Zaveruha

Publication number: 20170372617Abstract: A registration authority (RA) server registers unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their owners/operators (O/O). A UAV is maintained in a flight lock state until a flight plan request from the O/O is approved by the RA, which sends an key-signed approval to unlock the UAV's flight lock. The RA server evaluates a UAV's proposed flight plan based on the attributes of the O/O and UAV, the location and time of the requested flight plan, and a set of flight rules and exclusion zones that are developed in view of privacy assurance, security assurance, flight safety assurance, and ground safety assurance. The flight plan key-signed approval supplied to the UAV by the RA server specifies an inclusion zone that corresponds to a flight plan trajectory to be followed. Once in flight, the UAV maintains real-time knowledge of its position and time to ensure its flight remains within the approved inclusion zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Ronald BRUNO, James Mathew KELLER, Christian RAMSEY
