The particular network may select or generate a set of network credentials based on receiving the indication, which may be used by the UE to access the particular network. The particular network may provide service to the UE in accordance with the particular set of service parameters.

Abstract: A network device receives, from multiple smart cameras located at different road segments of multiple real-world road segments, first data describing a location and configuration of each of the multiple real-world road segments, and second data describing movement of one or more objects at each of the multiple real-world road segments. The network device generates multiple virtual road segments based on the first data, wherein each of the multiple virtual road segments describes one of the multiple real-world road segments; and uses a physics engine to simulate, based on the generated multiple virtual road segments and the second data, movement of vehicles or pedestrians through the multiple real-world road segments to analyze traffic characteristics, trends or events. The network device generates road segment alterations for reconfiguring one or more of the multiple real-world road segments based on the analysis of the traffic characteristics, trends, or events.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for printing multicolored three-dimensional objects. The method includes: selectively exposing a photosensitive thermoplastic feedstock to light within an extrusion nozzle, the feedstock comprising a thermoplastic base mixed with a photosensitive material; extruding the exposed feedstock into a deposit to print an object; and photo-chemically developing the deposit to provide color to the deposit. An apparatus is provided for three-dimensional printing with an extrusion nozzle including a light exposing component for selectively exposing the photosensitive thermoplastic feedstock to light within the extrusion nozzle.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of creating an artificially tiltable image display from an image containing Z distance values, the method comprising: separating the image into a plurality of layers using the Z distance values; expanding the plurality of layers by a factor dependent on the Z distance values, a layer closer to a viewer being enlarged by a larger factor than a layer further from a viewer, to create information in the layer further from a viewer that is occluded by the layer closer to a viewer; and responsive to a request to tilt the image display, moving the plurality of layers relative to each other so as to display the occluded information.

Abstract: Managing connections for execution of a client software application. A client software application is analyzed before execution of the application using code analysis and, optionally non-functional metadata analysis, of the application to determine one or more classifications of operations of the application. A mapping of application operation classifications to server characteristics suited to the application operation classifications is maintained. Multiple servers currently available to process at least a portion of the client software application may be monitored, and each of the multiple servers may be characterized according to their performance and resources. The classifications of operations of the analyzed application may be compared to the characteristics of the multiple servers currently available using the mapping, and a server may be selected based on the comparison.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for implementation of a photographic effect. An image is acquired while in a zoom configuration. The image is divided into pixel groups. A distance is determined for each group of pixels. The groups of pixels are based on the detected distance of the group of pixels from the camera. The detected distance can be based on the autofocus module within the camera. The detected distance can be a relative distance or an absolute distance. An expansion factor is determined for each group of pixels based on the corresponding determined distance. Expanded pixel groups are created for each pixel group based on the expansion factor. The expanded pixel groups are composited together to create the processed image.

Abstract: A device can receive data related to a roadway. The data can include video data of the roadway. The device can determine a pixel area of objects shown in the video data. The device can determine that a vehicle and an individual are associated with the roadway at a same time. The device can determine a protective zone around the individual based on a first pixel area of the individual. The protective zone can be associated with detecting a potential collision between the vehicle and the individual. The device can determine a first location and movement of the vehicle relative to a second location and movement of the individual. The device can predict that a second pixel area of the vehicle is to intersect the protective zone of the individual. The device can detect the potential collision. The device can perform one or more actions.
