Abstract: A method of estimating, for an antenna of a base station, variations in received signal strength at User Equipments, UEs, the method comprising: transmitting, to a plurality of UEs, a reference signal; receiving, as input data: signal strength measurements indicating received reference signal strength of the reference signal from the UEs, and positional information from the UEs; generating model coefficients by processing the input data in a training model; and estimating variations in received signal strength of the received reference signal received at the UEs, the estimated variations corresponding to an electrical tilt change of the antenna, wherein the variations in received signal strength are estimated by: processing, in a prediction model, the generated model coefficients, a Remote Electrical Tilt, RET, increment which defines the electrical tilt change, and the positional information received from the UEs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for treatment of aqueous matrices using electrolysis to produce soluble metals. An aqueous matrix of interest is passed through an electrolysis device with at least one consumable electrode, which dissolves under applied current, transferring a desired reagent to the aqueous matrix of interest. In one embodiment, the electrolysis device is used in a water delivery network to passivate hexavalent chromium (Cr6) and/or convert it to trivalent chromium; the electrode can be made of food-grade metal tin, which is electrolyzed to form a stannous reagent, which then reacts with the Cr6. The disclosed techniques provide for Cr6 passivation without requiring the use of concentrated acids or other harmful substances. Long term reagent generation efficiency can be enhanced through the use of cleaning processes which maintain a fresh electrode surface in contact with the aqueous matrix of interest.

Abstract: Before or after a first-type authentication has been completed, disclosed devices, systems, and methods may conduct a second-type authentication to authenticate a user such that the user can log into a secure device and/or access secure content. An example system may cause a wearable device to activate a biosensor, which extends along a full internal circumference of the wearable device when worn, to detect at least a first sEMG signal on the user's skin responsive to the user performing a first gesture. The system may also generate or receive a first user signature based on the first sEMG signal and determine whether the first user signature matches stored authentication training data. In response to determining that there is a match, the system may complete the second-type authentication to authenticate the user.
