Abstract: The present invention is directed to axial-centrifugal contra-rotating compressor system comprising combination of contra-rotating axial compressor stage with a back end centrifugal compressor stage, eliminating stator blades, an inter-stage connecting duct at the entry of the centrifugal compressor and an discharge diffuser at the exit of centrifugal compressor rotor characterized by radial to axial turning annular passage as per the gas turbine engine requirement, favouring reduction in engine size, weight, number of parts, overall engine length and produces a higher-pressure rise and swirl-free discharge towards the combustion chamber. The first low-pressure rotor having at least one axial blading assembly rotates in the direction opposite to the second high-pressure rotor blading assembly comprising of at least one axial rotor and one centrifugal rotor. The blades for axial compressor are adopted of low-aspect ratio configuration for reliable high load stall free operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems and architectures for video and/or audio processing and distribution are described. More particularly, a just in time transcoder/transcoding (JITT) is employed. If a matching optimal asset segment with calculated optimal asset attributes requested by a client device is not stored in a server, the server is configured to invoke the just in time transcoder (JITT) to produce the matching optimal asset segment by transcoding from one or more assets stored in an asset storage device to fulfill the request of client device.

Abstract: Some examples of the techniques described herein may provide encoding or decoding approaches to generate vectors that meet an orthogonality condition in vector compression procedures (e.g., vector compression or decompression). Encoder layers (e.g., neural network layers) on the encode side may generate orthogonal compressed vectors or decoder layers (e.g., neural network layers) on the decode side may generate orthogonal decompressed vectors. For instance, a neural network layer may be trained to generate a compressed or decompressed vector that satisfies an orthogonality condition relative to one or more previously compressed or decompressed vectors in accordance with a dependency order or a compression sequence. An indication of the dependency order may be communicated between the encode side and the decode side to order encoder or decoder layers (e.g., to execute encoder or decoder layers in the compression sequence) to produce compressed or decompressed vectors that satisfy an orthogonality condition.

The method includes: providing a logic cell structure including a first input node, a second input node, and a pulling network connected to a reference voltage and an output node, wherein the pulling network includes a plurality of transistor segments; determining a delay associated with at least one of the first input node and the second input node; and connecting the plurality of transistor segments to the first input node, the second input node and the output node based at least in part on the determined delay.

Abstract: In the Iris based biometric recognition systems, iris needs to be segmented before comparison and hence iris segmentation is a crucial process in iris based biometric recognition systems. Existing techniques are unable to segment iris due to occlusions and require complex and time consuming algorithms to remove these occlusions. Other deep learning based solutions require precise annotations of the iris regions along with eyelids and eyelashes. The present disclosure initially generates polygons on the iris and pupil area using a pre-trained detection model. Internally covered vertices and externally exposed vertices of the generated polygons are computed to construct curvature of the iris region. A pupil region is generated by filtering the plurality of vertices lying inside pupil circle region from the plurality of externally exposed vertices. Further, a segmented iris image is generated by removing the pupil region from the input image based on the curvature of the iris region.

Abstract: A telecommunications network provides selective roaming for user equipment (UE) devices registered to the network, allowing some UE devices to operate on a roaming network in some geographic regions and disallowing other UE devices to access roaming networks. The telecommunications network maintains mappings between UE devices and roaming permissions for each UE device. When a target UE device requests to attach to a roaming network, the roaming network passes the request, with an identifier of a particular geographic region in which the request was received, to the telecommunications network to query the mappings. If the mappings indicate the target UE device is authorized to access the roaming network in the particular geographic region, the telecommunications network allows the target UE device to attach to the roaming network.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise a wireless communication network to select Shared Data Support (SDS) rules for a user device. In some examples, the wireless communication network comprises a network controller and a network data system. The network controller receives a registration request from the user device and transfers a subscription data request to the data system. The network data system retrieves subscription data for the user device from the device's subscriber profile. The network data system determines the device type, slice ID, billing ID, region, software version, and PLMN ID for the user device. The network data system selects SDS rules based on the determined information and selects shared subscription data based on the SDS rules. The network data system transfers the subscription data and shared subscription data to the network controller. The network controller generates device context using the subscription data and shared subscription data to serve the user device.

Abstract: A network-based service creates a smart contract on a blockchain on behalf of a user who has a loan or a subscription that requires installment payments be collected by a provider from the user and provided to creditor of the loan or subscription. The smart contract associates a default account of the user with a first access token and non-default registered other accounts of the user with a second access token. The smart contract when presented with the access tokens from a provider determines whether the payment due can be satisfied from a current balance of the default account and if so, transfers the payment from the default account to the provider. If the default lacks sufficient funds for the payment, the smart contract proportions the amounts taken from each of the accounts to reach the amount due and transfers the amount due to the provider.

Abstract: A time-division multiplexed projection display is pixel shifted to produce an increased perceived display resolution or to mitigate image defects, such as defects in a display, a waveguide, or a prism, in an augmented, mixed, or virtual reality device. A polarizing beam splitter (PBS) divides input unpolarized display light into two orthogonal linear polarizations and directs them to two PBS arms. The PBS arms act to shift the light in synchronization with the time-multiplexed display such that a single pixel of the light engine providing the display light is converted into two or four virtual pixels, effectively increasing the perceived display resolution relative to the native resolution of the light engine. The PBS combines the light from both PBS arms into a single, unpolarized output that may then be projected into a lens or a waveguide incoupler to enable the light to propagate through a waveguide for display.
