  • Patent number: 11963047
    Abstract: Decision-making equipment (22) is configured for link change decision-making using reinforcement learning. The decision-making equipment (22) is configured to track rewards (30-1, . . . 30-M) earned for, and outcomes (28-1, . . . 28-M) of, respective link change decisions (26-1, . . . 26-M). In some embodiments, possible outcomes of a link change decision to change a serving link of a wireless device to a target link include at least: a change of the serving link of the wireless device from the target link to another link; and a network-initiated disconnect of the wireless device from the target link. Regardless, the decision-making equipment (22) is also configured to make a link change decision (28-(M+1)) based on the tracked rewards (30-1, . . . 30-M) and outcomes (28-1, . . . 28-M).

  • Patent number: 11619367
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a lighting device including at least two optical output modules for jointly providing transformable output light. The transformable output light is transformable a diffuse light output and a light output that has higher contrast than the diffuse light. Accordingly, the inventors realized that an enhanced user experience for vehicle occupants is provided by a lighting device that can seamlessly transform its output light between diffuse light to more high contrast light. For example, a vehicle interior component may be illuminated with a diffuse light when it is in one state, e.g. when it is not used. In a second state, when the component is used or intended to be used, it may be illuminated with a high contrast light to provide the user with more helpful assist light.

  • Publication number: 20220255814
    Abstract: A method performed by a network node for handling one or more upcoming requests for one or more services from a communication device in a communications network using a cloud infrastructure is provided. The network node obtains (301) a prediction of an amount of instances needed for the one or more upcoming requests for the one or more services, based on historical data of previous requests for services, and obtains (304) network connections needed for the one or more upcoming requests for the one or more services, taking the prediction into account. Furthermore, the network node decides (307) to instantiate a service with the obtained network connections and/or the amount of instances as predicted.

  • Publication number: 20220172054
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate, in some examples, to an intermediate network node configured to operate in a communication network. The communication network comprises a requesting node and an executing network node comprising a computational graph model. The intermediate network node is configured with an imitation model. The imitation model is a limited version of the computational graph model, and the imitation model is a model requiring less computational resources to converge when compared to the computational graph model.

  • Patent number: 11327238
    Abstract: A housing for enabling coupling of light from a light source to an optical light guide. The housing allows for the optical light guide to rotate about its axis with respect to the housing and a light source while at the same time maintaining the optical coupling with the light source. Accordingly, it is desirable to couple light from a light source to an optical light guide, where the optical light guide is freely rotatable about its axis. This is obtained by a locking mechanism of the housing where the light source is arrangeable. The locking mechanism includes a circumferential structure adapted to receive at least one radial locking member of the optical light guide. The circumferential structure is configured such that the optical light guide is rotatable about its axis in the locking mechanism while maintaining a spatial relationship between the end portion of the optical light guide and the light source.

  • Patent number: 11308190
    Abstract: A method for handling biometric templates is disclosed for an authenticating device applying biometric authentication. The method comprises acquiring a set of biometric data associated with a prospect user, and acquiring a decryption key (associated with an encrypted biometric template associated with an enrolled user of the authenticating device) from a key carrying device external to the authenticating device responsive to the key carrying device being in a vicinity of the authenticating device. The method also comprises retrieving, from a storage medium, at least a part of the encrypted biometric template associated with the enrolled user, decrypting the retrieved part of the biometric template using the acquired decryption key and performing an attempt to authenticate the prospect user as the enrolled user based on a comparison between the acquired set of biometric data and the decrypted part of the biometric template.

  • Patent number: 11216546
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for authenticating a user of an electronic device comprising a fingerprint sensor. The method comprises acquiring a sequence of verification images. Estimating, based on the images a first and a second verification force value indicative of a force applied by the object on the fingerprint sensor when the verification images were acquired. A verification image representation and a verification force value forms a verification template for each of the first and second images and forces. Matching the first and second verification template with at least one of a plurality of stored fingerprint enrolment templates in a respective first and second matching step. When the first and second matching steps each results in a positive match between the respective verification template and a respective one of the plurality of stored fingerprint enrolment templates, providing a signal indicating successful authentication of the user.
