Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be capable of operating according to a first transmission efficiency operating mode and a second transmission efficiency operating mode that is less power efficient than the first transmission efficiency operating mode. The first transmission efficiency operating mode may be associated with a first undesired emission level that is greater than a second undesired emission level associated with the second transmission efficiency operating mode. The UE may select to operate in one of the two transmission efficiency operating modes based on one or more communication parameters (e.g., indicated by control signaling received from a base station). For example, the UE may select to operate in the first transmission efficiency operating mode based on determining that one or more of the communication parameters satisfies at least one parameter criterion for operating in the first transmission efficiency operating mode.

Abstract: Implementations relate to determination and display of estimated hold durations for calls. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining an identifier of a target entity, the identifier usable by a first call device to initiate a call between the first call device and the target entity. A hold duration is determined that is an estimated amount of time before the call is matched to a human agent when the call is initiated at a particular time that is prospective to a current time. The hold duration is determined based on previous calls between one or more call devices and the target entity. The hold duration is provided for display by the first call device prior to the initiation of the call between the first call device and the target entity.

Abstract: Methods and systems that determine levels of leukemia or lymphoma are described. A model using biomarkers such as nuclear size, nuclear intensity, cellular density, and cell-to-nearest-neighbor distance may distinguish samples with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression, accelerated CLL (aCLL), and transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Richter transformation; RT). Additionally, using a heat value based on nuclear size and nuclear intensity allowed for visualization or identification of proliferation centers (PCs) and also could be used to diagnose tissue samples from subjects with CLL. Some embodiments use unsupervised clustering to divide lymphoid cells into different cell types, and feature values of these cell types can be used to classify disorders. Methods and systems may accurately and efficiently diagnose levels of a disorder. Diagnosis may be performed with less biological sample (e.g., from a core-needle biopsy), resulting in a more rapid and minimally invasive biopsy.
