Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to Millimeter Wave (MMW) frequency antenna scanning system. Conventional approaches available for scanning an antenna beam over a large angular swath with high directivity are unable to address concerns of size and cost involved. The technical problem of providing an MMW frequency antenna scanning system using a single small size antenna capable of scanning as desired at a desired precision is addressed in the present disclosure. The antenna scanning system provided is an electromechanical system that makes the system cost effective. Computer control provides precision control in beam steering from remote. Use of a metasurface and configuration of a radiating patch and a shorting pin in a microstrip antenna addresses the concern with regards to the size of the antenna scanning system.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for performing firewall operations on a computer. The method of some embodiments instantiates first and second firewall processes on the computer. These two processes are two separate processes, which in some embodiments have separate memory allocations in the memory system of the computer. The method uses the first firewall process to examine a data message to determine whether an encryption based firewall policy (e.g., a TLS-based firewall policy) has to be enforced on the data message. Based on a determination that the encryption-based firewall policy has to be enforced on the data message, the method provides metadata, which is produced by the first firewall process in its examination of the data message, to the second firewall process. The second firewall process then uses the provided metadata to perform an encryption-based firewall operation based on the encryption-based firewall policy.

Abstract: To reduce power consumption, a user equipment (UE) may trigger a microsleep in a subframe when a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) does not include a downlink grant. However, because the microsleep depends on the PDCCH not including a downlink grant, the UE cannot trigger the microsleep until after the PDCCH is decoded. Accordingly, in some aspects, a UE may enable an aggressive extra microsleep in which a microsleep duration may be increased by reducing a PDCCH decode time. For example, a UE may use a stale channel estimate and noise estimate from a previous subframe to perform PDCCH demapping when conditions related to a PDCCH block error rate are satisfied. In this way, removing channel estimation and noise estimation from a PDCCH demapping path may reduce the PDCCH decode time, whereby the UE may trigger a microsleep sooner to increase a sleep ratio and thereby increase power savings.
