Abstract: Various approaches for the deployment and coordination of network operation processing, compute processing, and communications for 5G networks, including with the use of fingerprint-based vRAN cell integrity monitoring, are discussed. In an example, analyzing a state of a 5G network includes: obtaining initial fingerprint reference data of a network state between a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) node and at least one fingerprint reference unit (FRU) device wirelessly connected to the vRAN node; comparing the initial fingerprint reference data to subsequent fingerprint data of the network state between the vRAN node (e.g., operating as vRAN gNB, or as an IAB Donor or IAB Node) and the at least one FRU device to detect a changed network condition; and performing an action at the vRAN node to modify or disable a component of the 5G network, in response to detection of the changed network condition.

Abstract: Technologies for structured media playback include one or more physical media objects, which may be placed on a substrate including a matrix of position sensor tags. Each of the physical media objects is configured to sense one or more position sensor tags and transmit tag information received from the sensed position sensor tags to a compute device. The compute device determines a cast of physical media objects present on the substrate based on the received tag information and selects media for playback based on the determined cast. In some embodiments, the compute device may select the index of the media at which to initiate playback based on the determined cast or collection of physical media objects.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method, apparatus, and system for source-transparent endian translation. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to allowing source code that was previously designed for Big Endian processors to be converted and recompiled to run on Little Endian processors, or vice-versa. In one embodiment, a compiler receives Big Endian source code that is operable on a processor that operates in a Big Endian mode. A source-transparent endian translator works with the compiler or as part of it to translate the Big Endian source code received by the compiler into a Little Endian code format; the Little Endian code format is then further processed by the compiler into Little Endian machine code that is operable on a processor which operates in a Little Endian mode.

Abstract: Dynamic switching between mirrored and non-mirrored implementations is provided by formatting a system to operate in a simulated mirrored mode. A null location is used as a placeholder for a storage location that can be subsequently added. The null location is replaced in whole or in part by the storage location when actual mirrored node is desired, thereby making the switch to actual mirrored mode appear dynamic and transparent to a user. A first location is designated as a first part of a mirror, and the null location is designated to simulate a second part of the mirror. Data and/or operating systems may be mirrored.
