Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or component thereof. The apparatus may be configured to transmit to a base station a first request to transmit data in a buffer. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit to the base station a second request to transmit the data in the buffer in absence of a grant in response to the first transmit request. The apparatus may be further configured to remain awake for at least a portion of a scheduled discontinuous reception (DRX) sleep state following the transmission of the second request.

Abstract: An electronic device includes first and second external conductive pads coupled to route a first signal and third and fourth external conductive pads. The third and the fourth external conductive pads are between the first and the second external conductive pads on a surface of the electronic device.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes first external conductive pads, second external conductive pads, and third external conductive pads. The second external conductive pads are between the first external conductive pads and the third external conductive pads. Repair group circuitry is configurable to shift signal transmission away from one of the first external conductive pads to one of the third external conductive pads if the one of the first external conductive pads has a defect.

Abstract: An active interconnection device has a repeater circuit that includes a storage circuit. The storage circuit is coupled to store a configuration bit for configuring the repeater circuit to transmit a signal between a first integrated circuit die and a second integrated circuit die. The storage circuit is coupled to receive the configuration bit through a conductor during a configuration mode. A buffer circuit in the repeater circuit is configurable to transmit the signal through the conductor during a transmission mode in response to the configuration bit.

Abstract: Malware scan task processing in a data storage system is described herein. A method as described herein can include designating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a file stored by a primary cluster of a data storage system for a malware scan; locating, by the device, a secondary cluster of the data storage system having stored thereon a copy of the file, the secondary cluster being distinct from the primary cluster; and, in response to determining that the file stored by the primary cluster matches the copy of the file stored by the secondary cluster, causing, by the device, a second anti-malware server associated with the secondary cluster to perform the malware scan for the copy of the file instead of a first anti-malware server associated with the primary cluster.

Abstract: An automated cascade impactor is disclosed and comprises a vertical array of a plurality of impactor stages, and a vertical array of isolation stages, wherein the vertical array of the isolation stages comprises pairs of isolation stages between which impactor plates, removed from respective ones of the impactor stages are effectively sandwiched between each pair of isolation stages. Still further, each compactor stage is likewise sandwiched between and upper and a lower pair of the isolation stages.

Abstract: An automated cascade impactor comprises an extension mechanism operable to couple to a plurality of impactor stages. The extension mechanism is operable to compress and separate impactor stages of the plurality of impactor stages via automation. The system provides a plurality of isolation stages operable to be automatically inserted between respective impactor stages when the impactor stages are separated by the extension mechanism. The system provides the plurality of isolation stages to be automatically compressed between impactor stages to isolate each impactor stage from at least one adjacent impactor stage. The plurality of isolation stages is operable to be automatically uncompressed and removed from between the impactor stages. The isolation stages allow automated extraction of particulate matter, cleaning and drying of interior surfaces of each impactor stage.
