Abstract: The present document provides a method and wireless device for implementing route transmission based on a single IPv6 address prefix. The method includes: when a wireless device succeeds in IPv6-based dialing and obtains one 64-bit-long IPv6 address prefix from a network side, the wireless device first setting apart a 126-bit IPv6 address prefix from the prefix, and then allocating the 126-bit IPv6 address prefix to a WAN interface, allocating the 64-bit-long IPv6 address prefix to a LAN interface, and notifying a user terminal connected to the LAN interface of the IPv6 prefix of the LAN interface, so that the user terminal connected to the LAN interface generates its own IPv6 address through a stateless address auto-configuration mechanism for communication. With the technical solutions of the present document, in an IPv4/IPv6 dual stack mode, IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks operate normally, and the radio resource consumption is reduced.

Abstract: A data storage device flushes newly written data in response to certain events such that, when the device has acknowledged newly written data, the device cannot return old data of the referenced logical block address to the host in any case. If the data of the logical block address has been corrupted, the device returns an uncorrectable error, not old data. A “force map entry flush” flushes modified map entries to NAND when an upper page is programmed. After a power failure and restoration, a storage device is able to analysis map entries to determine whether there is some host data in the uncorrectable die, then prevent return of old data to a host.

Abstract: The present invention related to a system and computer-implemented method directed to cargo handling services. A stakeholder captures airline data and customer related cargo data and transmits the data to at least one other stakeholder through either a customer service portal or a mobile warehouse management system. The system is a cargo management system comprising three parts. First, a messaging engine adapted to transmit airline data. Second, a customer service portal receives data from the messaging engine for a stakeholder, such that the stakeholder may manage, track, or reconcile a cargo shipment. Finally, a mobile warehouse management system implemented for recording data and tracking cargo in real-time.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate image reconstruction using a variable-density spiral trajectory. An exemplary method for image reconstruction includes acquiring MR data, which includes determining a multi-level undersampling pattern based on sampling distance and probability functions, and determining a desired variable-density spiral trajectory based on the undersampling pattern. Acquiring the MR data also includes generating spiral gradient waveforms based on the desired trajectory, and tracing a variable-density spiral trajectory using the spiral gradient waveforms. After tracing, the MR data can be sub-sampled based on the variable-density spiral trajectory. The method also includes reconstructing one or more images based on the acquired MR data.

Abstract: High-fidelity video coding nowadays tends to adopt the RGB coding for directly reducing RGB inter-color redundancy without color space conversion. A known method uses a blockbased inter-color compensation algorithm for removing inter-color redundancy on RGB color planes by defining the correlation between color planes within each coding block as a linear model of slope and offset parameters, codes the base plane block and then predicts the other two color blocks from the base plane block. However, for most coding blocks the texture within a component block varies quite much. A new method for improved video coding uses adaptive segmentation of the base color component block, corresponding segmentation of the other color component blocks and individual slope and offset parameters for predicting each segment.
