  • Patent number: 11971822
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to filtering messages. A computer system may detect an occurrence of an event of a particular type. The computer system may determine whether to enqueue, in a message queue, a message that identifies a set of tasks to be performed in relation to the event. The determination may be based on a response received from a cache that stores a subset of filter rules of a filter rules table. Based on the response indicating a cache miss, the computer system may enqueue the message in the message queue. A process that processes the message may be operable to resolve the cache miss by 1) accessing a filter rule from the filter rules table that indicates whether messages for events of the particular type should be enqueued in the message queue and 2) updating the cache to store the filter rule.

  • Patent number: 11965959
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes ultrasound systems configured to enhance flow imaging and analysis by adaptively adjusting one or more imaging parameters in response to acquired flow measurements. Example systems can include an ultrasound transducer and one or more processors. Using the system components, mean flow velocity magnitude and acceleration can be determined within a target region during an acquisition phase, which may include a cardiac cycle. One or more adjusted flow imaging parameters, such as adjusted ensemble length, temporal smoothing filter length and/or step size, can be determined based on the acquired flow measurements to increase the signal quality of newly acquired ultrasound echo signals. The adjusted flow imaging parameters can then be applied by the ultrasound transducer during a second acquisition phase.

  • Publication number: 20240098694
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish one or more wireless connections for different subscriptions with a base station. The UE may receive an indication of a temporary mobile subscription identifier (TMSI) from the base station during a registration procedure. The UE may calculate a paging occasion (PO) based on the TMSI and may determine the PO fails to satisfy a threshold timing value. The UE may transmit one or more registration request to trigger additional registration procedures in which base station may transmit a new TMSI. The UE may calculate an updated PO based on the new TMSI. The UE may periodically receive one or more paging messages from the base station in a set of POs based on calculating the updated PO.
