Abstract: In some examples, in response to determining that a new communication channel is required, a wireless device retrieves information provided from a network node of availability of alternative communication channels for the wireless device. In response to retrieving information that a second communication channel is available for a location within which the wireless device is located, the wireless device removes wireless device specific information and initiates a request to connect to the second communication channel, where the second communication channel is in a frequency range different from a frequency range of the first communication channel.

Abstract: A public-private key cryptographic scheme is described for granting authenticating a client to a remote device or service in order to access a secure resource. The client is provided the public key, but the private key is stored in a hardware security module (HSM) that the client is not able to access. The client requests a digital signature be generated from the private key from a secure vault service. The secure vault service accesses the HSM and generates the digital certificate, which is then passed to the client. The digital certificate may be added to a security token request submitted to an identity provider. The identity provider determines whether the digital signature came from the private key.

Abstract: Methods and systems of segmenting computing devices in a wireless network having an access point broadcasting in a single domain are described. In an exemplary method, a request to join the wireless network is received from a computing device. The request is associated with an identifier. When the identifier is not associated with a virtual network within the wireless network, a virtual network is configured within the wireless network and the identifier is associated thereto and the computing device is assigned thereto. When the identifier is associated with an existing virtual network within the wireless network, the computing device is assigned to the existing virtual network.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are described for controlling the thickness of glass during glass sheet production. The apparatuses and methods employ a laser beam to heat a particular portion of the molten glass. In some examples, a laser beam control system controls the laser beam to generate a more consistent glass thickness across the glass sheet. In some examples, the laser beam control system multiplexes the laser beam to heat various portions of the glass, for example, simultaneously.

Abstract: A mobile device may retrieve service information about a network prior to associating with the network. Utilizing an advertisement protocol to transmit service query messages, a mobile device may receive service query responses from a network that identify the services available prior to establishing network capability. In other words, the messaging is prior to the exchange of any authentication parameters between the device and the network as well prior to the establishment of a recognized session between the device and the network.

Abstract: An apparatus for a wireless communication network communicates with one or more entities in the wireless communication network using a plurality of different communication channels. The plurality of communication channels includes at least a first communication channel and a second communication channel. The apparatus transmits on one of the first and second communication channels and, at the same time, receives on the other one of the first and second communication channels. For exploiting a reciprocity of the first and second communication channels, the apparatus switch between simultaneously transmitting over the first communication channel and receiving over the second communication channel, and simultaneously transmitting over the second communication channel and receiving over the first communication channel.

Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. A current node associated with a sub-volume is split into further sub-volumes, each further sub-volume corresponding to a child node of the current node, and, at the encoder, an occupancy pattern is determined for the current node based on occupancy status of the child nodes. A probability distribution is selected from among a plurality of probability distributions based on occupancy data for a plurality of nodes neighbouring the current node. The encoder entropy encodes the occupancy pattern based on the selected probability distribution to produce encoded data for the bitstream and updates the selected probability distribution. The decoder makes the same selection based on occupancy data for neighbouring nodes and entropy decodes the bitstream to reconstruct the occupancy pattern.
