Abstract: A communication system facilitates a voice communication session for a wireless communication device. A Long Term Evolution (LTE) network exchanges Voice over LTE (VoLTE) communications with the wireless communication device for the voice communication session and determines LTE packet loss metrics for the voice communication session. The LTE network transfers the voice communication session to a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) network. The WIFI network exchanges Voice over WIFI (VoWIFI) communications with the wireless communication device for the voice communication session and determines WIFI packet loss metrics for the voice communication session. A network controller compares the LTE packet loss metrics with the WIFI packet loss metrics to determine a packet loss configuration for the WIFI network. The network controller transfers a packet loss instruction to the WIFI network.

Abstract: Examples herein disclose an identification of a backup power structure, among various backup power structures, implemented in a storage system. In response to the identification of the backup power structure, the examples select a data loss prevention technique to implement in storing write data to the storage system. The data loss prevention technique is selected among various loss prevention techniques corresponding to the various backup power structures.

Abstract: An image capture device may capture visible and infrared light, and image analysis may be used to generate a map of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of healthy vegetation. Because NDVI data focuses on red and near infrared (NIR) reflectance of plants, NDVI data may be generated using an aircraft-mounted camera with optical filtering to collect various wavelengths. To reduce the size, weight, complexity, and cost of the image analysis system, a multiband optical filter may be used to capture multiple passbands simultaneously.

Abstract: In some examples, a storage system dynamically selects, in response to a determined type of power backup arrangement used in the storage system, from among different powerloss data protection techniques corresponding to different types of power backup arrangements, The different powerloss data protection techniques each is responsive to loss of power by saving write data according to a common format. In response to loss of power in the storage system, the selected powerloss data protection technique is used to store write data corresponding to write operations in the storage system according to the common format to a recovery storage medium. The storage system recovers from the loss of power in the storage system by using the write data according to the common format stored using the selected powerloss data protection technique.

Abstract: Multi-user real-time collaborative software applications may synchronize data between multiple users or multiple devices. Current aspects describe a method and system for enabling undo operations in collaborative software applications where not all possible actions adhere to the operational transformation properties. Certain aspects herein operate in the absence of the so-called Inverse Property 2 (IP2).

Abstract: The present Invention of a jumper platform relates to a device used for fitness training, specifically to aid in training the user to jump higher. The jump platform exerciser accomplishes the task with the help of a rope that is enabled to be set at various heights, adjusted by using a lever. Herein, the user is enabled to create a physical mark of the height for jumping which further enables the user to practice for his/her required height and train the muscles in the action of landing, which would not be afforded by jumping on a platform or other barrier with a landing surface on top. The rope is also segmented in such a way that if the user were to catch upon the rope white attempting to jump over it the rope segments will break away, preventing the user from being tripped or caught in the rope.

Abstract: A sternotomy closure technique is suitably carried out with a cerclage mechanism which is capable of maintaining proper bony compression (within a desired range) across the sternum cut, in spite of a range of external forces and significant lateral distraction due to these external forces. The sternum fragments are aligned in apposition disposed around a longitudinal seam and secured with a resilient element. The resilient element is tensioned to a desired tension to compress the sternum to a desired compression range. The resilient element is then elongated and contracted while accepting multiple cycles of physiological distracting forces across the sternum while maintaining contact pressure across the longitudinal seam within a desired range for a length of time sufficient for bony healing. The resilient element is preferably a polymer cable comprising an elongated elastic polymeric core coaxially surrounded by a sheath woven from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene strands.

The pump assembly includes a pump, a valve body having a first valve and a second valve, and a selection member defining a lumen, the selection member being movable from a first position to place the prosthesis in the inflation mode and a second position to place the prosthesis in the deflation mode.

Abstract: An Internet Protocol (IP) router provides location information for an emergency communication session. The IP router receives a base station identifier associated with a request for the emergency communication session. The IP router selects a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) based on the base station identifier. The IP router determines a PSAP type and a network type for the selected PSAP. The IP router transfers a location request for delivery to a location control system and receives location information transferred from the location control system. The IP router converts the location information into PSAP signaling used by the selected PSAP based on the PSAP and network type. The IP router transfers the converted location information for delivery to the selected PSAP.

Abstract: A wireless communication system to optimize device performance across wireless communication networks. A wireless communication device communicates over a first wireless communication network. The first wireless communication network determines first performance metrics. Communication is transferred to a second wireless communication network. The second wireless communication network determines second performance metrics. A control processing system compares the first performance metrics with the second performance metrics to determine configuration instructions for the second wireless communication network, and transfers the configuration instructions to the second wireless communication network. The second wireless communication network modifies a network configuration based on the configuration instructions and determines third performance metrics.

Abstract: Multi-user collaborative software applications may synchronize data between multiple users or multiple devices. There are multiple existing ways to synchronize data. Some of these synchronization methods, such as file locking, are easy to implement but have performance or functionality drawbacks. Operational transformation (OT) is a high performance synchronization method, but difficult and time-consuming to implement in many cases, and cannot be partially implemented throughout a system. Methods and systems provide for blending operational transformation with other synchronization methods in the same collaborative software application, allowing operational transformation to be used in situations where it cannot be implemented throughout a system.
