Abstract: A wireless communication network wirelessly receives a device Identifier (ID), network ID, and capability ID from a wireless user device. In response to the network ID, the wireless communication network transfers the device ID to the other communication network. The wireless communication network receives an authorization for the wireless user device from the other communication network. In response to the authorization, the wireless communication network wirelessly serves the wireless user device based on the capability ID. The wireless communication network transfers the capability ID used by the wireless user device to the other communication network in response to serving the wireless user device based on the capability ID.

Abstract: A wireless communication network delivers policy enforcement to a wireless user device in another wireless communication network. The wireless communication network wirelessly serves the wireless user device based on a policy. The wireless communication network determines when the wireless user device is visiting the other wireless communication network, and in response, selects the policy for the wireless user device. The wireless communication network transfers the selected policy for the wireless user device to the other wireless communication network. The other wireless communication network receives and enforces the selected policy for the wireless user device.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.

Abstract: Critical infrastructure (CI) protection blueprint generation in an interdependent CI architecture includes constructing a digital twin of a heterogeneous collection of CI elements associated with respectively different services provided to a common community. Thereafter, hypothetical sensor data is specified in the digital twin for a target CI element in the hierarchy. In response, sensor data is read for other CI elements dependent upon the target CI element so as to identify impacted CI elements. For each impacted CI element, additional sensor data is read for further CI elements in the hierarchy dependent upon the impacted CI elements and the process repeats until no additional impacted CI elements are identified. A listing of all impacted CI elements is written to a blueprint for the hierarchy in association with the hypothetical sensor data in order to define a cascading effect of the hypothetical sensor data upon the hierarchy within the digital twin.

Abstract: A respiratory mask includes a frame and a cushion module. The frame can include a front wall having a vent and/or a gas inlet opening and a collar extending away from the front wall. The collar surrounds the vent and/or the gas inlet opening. The cushion module comprises a cushion and a housing, which is made of a material more rigid than the cushion. The housing defines a connection opening. A friction coupling selectively couples the cushion module to the frame and comprises an elastomeric friction member coupled to a portion of the housing that defines the connection opening. In some arrangements, an outer surface of the friction member is exposed when the cushion module is coupled to the frame. In some arrangements, the housing extends through the peripheral surface.

Abstract: A wireless communication system tracks an item that wirelessly transfers a Fifth Generation Identifier (5GID) and a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). Transceivers wirelessly detect the 5GID and the GTIN and transfer messages indicating the 5GID and the GTIN to a ledger gateway. The ledger gateway receives the messages and selects a distributed application in a distributed ledger node based on the 5GID and/or the GTIN. The ledger gateway proposes an item-tracking transaction with the 5GID and the GTIN to the selected distributed application in the distributed ledger node. The distributed ledger node and distributed application execute the proposed item-tracking transaction with the 5GID and the GTIN to generate an item-tracking result and store the item-tracking result in a blockchain format.
