  • Patent number: 10873830
    Abstract: UE location determined by collecting and preprocessing signal data at a detector and sending extracted data to a remote locate server. The detector buffers samples from signals provided by receive channels, detects known reference signals from receive channels based on reference signal parameters, isolates symbols carrying the reference signal from frames, extracts data from symbols, and sends extracted data to locate server. The locate server receives the extracted data, estimates locate observables based on the extracted data and calculates the UE location based on the estimated locate observables, the reference signal parameters and the extracted data. The detector and/or the server may also generate correlation coefficients between reference signals carrying spectrum received from a serving cell and utilize the correlation coefficients to cancel a serving cell signal in symbols that include known in advance reference signals from the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells of the wireless system.

  • Patent number: 10783197
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an indication that a user is interested in a content (e.g., newsfeed). Based on metadata associated with the content, a topic of the content and an entity associated with the content may be determined (e.g., a political candidate's position on gun control). One or more first entities (e.g., other political candidates) may be selected based on the entity associated with the content. The selected first entities may be different from the entity associated with the content. First contents associated with the first entities and topically related to the topic of the content may be selected (e.g., other candidates' positions on gun control). At least a portion of the first contents may be displayed with at least a portion of the content. The content and at least one of the first contents may have different sentiments toward the topic.

  • Patent number: 10724153
    Abstract: Nano structured surfaces and bulk composite materials which exhibit tunable surface morphology, wettability, thermal conductivity, and total thermal resistance properties, and methods of fabrication and uses thereof are described herein. Arrays of vertically-aligned nanostructures produced via a template assisted fabrication approach using nanoporous templates, or alternatively, via an electropolymerization process are described. As a result, control over the surface morphology and wettability can be achieved using the selective template etching process. The composite materials also demonstrate tunable thermal and electrical properties based on the methods of their fabrication. The arrays of polymeric nanostructures are chemically, mechanically, and thermally robust and can serve as soft substrates with heat dissipation capability for use in the fabrication of thermal management materials, tunable wetting for microfluidic applications, and for use in heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells.
