Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards scheduling, by a distributed unit, the injection of custom traffic (signals/data) into a radio unit communications path. The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize such custom traffic in unscheduled (physical resource block), such as interleaved with to live-air and non-live-air traffic. The radio unit can request the unscheduled physical resource blocks for custom traffic to be inserted by the radio unit. Alternatively, the distributed unit can inject the custom traffic in otherwise unscheduled physical resource blocks for sending to the radio unit. The custom traffic is configured to perform some action by the radio unit, such as to perform antenna calibration, to perform test and measurement operations to obtain performance data, and the like. Performance data can be used, for example, to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve performance of the radio unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing media presentations to a user. The methods include determining one or more media presentations to present to a user; providing one or more media presentations as options for selection by the user; receiving a selection of the user of one media presentation from the provided one or more media presentations; and transmitting the selected one media presentation to a display of a headset.

Abstract: A tiered processing scheme for processing image data is provided. A method can include obtaining image data indicative of one or more court judgment(s) with a number of features. The method can include obtaining judgment information from the image data by applying a number of image processing techniques in accordance with a processing hierarchy tailored to the image data. The image data can be classified by a machine-learning model and the processing hierarchy can be determined based on the classification. The processing hierarchy balances the computing resources used by a respective technique with the accuracy afforded by the technique when applied to image data with a respective classification. A computing system can utilize the processing hierarchy to leverage different image processing techniques in a tiered processing scheme tailored to image data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of recovering corrupted data, comprising providing a FIFO storage structure on the memory controller, and providing an error correction code (ECC) generator to the memory device, the ECC generator configured to generate ECC check bits based on a data word. For each data word, the method comprises storing a copy of the data word, appended check bits, and associated address into the FIFO storage structure; generating expected check bits based on the data word; when the expected check bits match the appended check bits, storing the data word and appended check bits to the memory device; and when the expected check bits do not match the appended check bits, and an error in the data word is uncorrectable, replacing the data word and appended check bits with the copy of the data word and appended check bits that were stored in the FIFO storage structure.

Abstract: A vacuum pumping system which comprises a plurality of vacuum pumping arrangements for evacuating a flammable gas stream and exhausting the gas stream through an exhaust outlet. A housing houses the vacuum pumping arrangements and forms an air flow duct for an air flow for mixing with the exhaust gas stream output from the exhaust outlet in a mixing region in the housing. An airflow generator generates an air flow through the air flow duct to cause mixing of air with the flammable gas stream to a percentage of the flammable gas in the air flow lower than the lower flammability limit of the flammable gas. An airflow sensor senses the flow of air for determining if the air flow is sufficient to dilute the flammable gas to lower than said percentage.
