Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a multi-mode wireless access protocol (MMWAP). A redirection router may receive a pre-association request, from a user communication device, and send an acknowledgment of the pre-association request. The user communication device may further transmit authorization keys associated with an application installed in the user communication device. Based on the authorization keys, the redirection router may send an authentication indication to the user communication device. The user communication device may use the redirection router to transmit and receive messages associated with the application to public networks and other private networks. The redirection router may maintain multi-mode connectivity independently with multiple user communication devices.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first device may receive, from a second device, network function (NF) configuration information indicating that an NF instance is to be provisioned to support a combination of network slices. The NF configuration information may include first network slice information regarding the first network slice and second network slice information regarding the second network slice. The first device may obtain, from a data structure, first slice configuration information associated with the NF instance supporting the first network slice and second slice configuration information associated with the NF instance supporting the second network slice. The first device may generate configuration parameters to provision the NF instance to support the combination of network slices and provide the configuration parameters to cause the NF instance to be provisioned to support the combination of network slices.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a scanning device, a first scan of a first identifier of a first slot within a package unit or a first item to be disposed within the package unit. A correct item to be disposed within the first slot having the first identifier or a correct slot for receiving the first item having the first identifier may be determined based on the first identifier and a packing order associated with the package unit. A user interface may be generated to display an indication of the correct item to be disposed within the first slot having the first identifier or the correct slot for receiving the first item having the first identifier. Whether the correct item is disposed within the first slot or the first item is dispose within the correct slot may be determined based on a third scan of a third identifier.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, computer readable code and method for dynamically performing debugging. The system, code, and method store debugging logs throughout an operation. At predetermined points the logs are stored to a cache. Older and/or unnecessary logs are periodically deleted from the cache to ensure that the cache does not grow to be larger than a predetermined size. This avoids the need to re-run a scenario after an error occurs in order to produce troubleshooting/debugging information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the desulfurisation of lead-containing waste. In particular, the present invention relates to a method in which lead-containing waste is desulfurised to form a desulfurised lead-containing waste material which is suitable for recycling into lead or leady oxide. The method is particularly suitable for desulfurising lead-acid battery paste.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that detect an electromagnetic signal in a constant interference environment. In one embodiment, the electromagnetic signal is a light signal. A constant interference detector may detect false signal “hits” generated by constant interference, such as bright light saturation, from valid signals. The constant interference detector determines if there is constant interference for a time period that is greater than a time period of the valid signal. In one embodiment, if a received signal exceeds a programmable threshold value for a programmable period of time, when compared to previously stored ambient light, a control signal is generated to inform the next higher network layer of a sudden change in ambient light. This control signal can be used to either discard the present return or process the signal in a different way. A constant interference detector may be a component of a LIDAR system.

Abstract: A method of restarting execution of a virtual machine (VM) on a host, after an upgrade of a virtualization software for the VM, wherein prior to the upgrade, page mapping data for mapping memory pages of the VM to first page frames located in a first region of a physical memory of the host was copied into second page frames located in a second region of the physical memory of the host includes the steps of: restarting execution of the VM on the host after the upgrade while the page mapping data for mapping the memory pages of the VM to the first page frames, are stored in the second page frames; and during said execution of the VM after the upgrade, copying a portion of the page mapping data stored in the second page frames into a third page frame located in the first region of the physical memory.

Abstract: In response to determining circuitry determining that a portion of data to be sent to a recipient over an interconnect has a predetermined value, data sending circuitry performs data elision to: omit sending at least one data FLIT corresponding to the portion of data having the predetermined value; and send a data-elision-specifying FLIT specifying data-elision information indicating to the recipient that sending of the at least one data FLIT has been omitted and that the recipient can proceed assuming the portion of data has the predetermined value. The data-elision-specifying FLIT is a FLIT other than a write request FLIT for initiating a memory write transaction sequence. This helps to conserve data FLIT bandwidth for other data not having the predetermined value.

Abstract: An information management system implements a method for determining whether to initiate a failover of a storage manager in the system. Nodes in the system may be assigned as monitoring nodes configured to communicate with a storage manager. Furthermore, each monitoring node may be configured to transmit a status inquiry message to each other monitoring node, and each monitoring node may receive a status inquiry message from each other monitoring node. Each monitoring node may also generate a session message comprising status information, and a plurality of failover nodes may receive the generated session messages. A failover node may then determine whether a failover condition has occurred by applying a plurality of failover rules to the status information of the transmitted session message. Where the failover node determines that a failover condition has occurred, the failover node may activate another storage manager to take place of the presently assigned storage manager.

Abstract: In aspects of personal content managed during extended display screen recording, a screen recording system includes a wireless device that provides digital image content for display on an extended display device, and a screen recording session on the wireless device captures the digital image content and audio data. The wireless device implements a content control module that can determine the screen recording session would capture personal content associated with a user of the wireless device. The content control module can initiate a private screen review mode in which the personal content is displayable on a display screen of the wireless device and is prevented from visual display on the extended display device. The content control module can also generate a shareable screen recording that includes the audio data and the digital image content displayed on the extended display device, without including the personal content.
