Abstract: In aspects of user interface adjustments for ergonomic device grip, a mobile device displays a user interface that includes one or more selectable user interface elements. Based on sensor data collected by sensors of the mobile device, a user is determined to be holding the mobile device with an ergonomically incorrect grip pattern. In response to the ergonomically incorrect grip pattern of the user being determined, the one or more selectable user interface elements are moved to a region of the user interface that facilitates the user holding the mobile device with an ergonomically correct grip pattern.

Abstract: Systems and methods for executing conflicting read and write transactions based on a lock release protocol are provided. An intent present at a version of a key can be identified by a first transaction. The first transaction can verify whether the intent corresponds to a second transaction having a simple-committed type to observe the intent as a committed value and proceed with execution or to wait on the second transaction to complete execution. Based on the second transaction being a simple-committed type, the first transaction can determine a provisional value included in the intent as a read value or write a new intent to a new version of the key without waiting for the second transaction to explicitly commit.

Abstract: A zero-touch provision Radio Access Network Distributed Unit (DU) server for a remote cell site that uses a Network Interface Card (NIC) to function temporarily as a Cell Site Router (CSR) to establish a connection with a central database to download BIOS/Operating System to boot the DU server, wherein once the DU server is booted, software executes that boots up a virtual CSR (vCSR). Once the vCSR is up and running, the vCSR reprograms the NIC to perform offloading networking tasks from the DU server CPU to a network processing unit (NPU) on the NIC. The NPU is designed to handle networking tasks such as packet encryption, packet classification, packet filtering, load balancing, and security features.

Abstract: A Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) system is configured to determine when the frequency of link speed switching needed to service incoming and upcoming client requests is too high. The system is also configured to determine a modest link speed to be used to service incoming and upcoming client requests in cases where the link speed switching that will be needed is too high and causes the incoming and upcoming client requests to be serviced at the modest link speed instead of at the link speeds associated with the predefined BWs of the clients. By doing this when the frequency of link speed switching needed is too high, the PCIe system achieves better throughput while also reducing power consumption.
