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.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to evaporation compensation in fluidic devices. An example apparatus for evaporation compensation includes an assessment circuit to determine an amount of evaporation of a volume dispensed in a microwell of a fluidic device. The amount of evaporation may be determined based on the volume in the microwell, and an amount of time after dispensing the volume in the microwell. A compensation circuit may determine, based on the amount of evaporation, a compensation factor for the microwell including an amount of a normalizing fluid to compensate for the amount of evaporation. The compensation circuit may also create a normalization profile for the fluidic device, including an association between the fluidic device and the compensation factor. A dispensing circuit may dispense the normalizing fluid in the microwell according to the normalization profile.
