Abstract: Systems and methods for ray intersection against primitives are described. Primitive data is encoded efficiently into arrays of fixed-size data blocks using a data format which can be directly consumed for ray traversal. Vertex data in a block is pre-quantized and stored using a fixed-bit quantization grid. Mesh connectivity is encoded using a triangle strips based on control values representing triangle interconnectivity, and a compressed index buffer storing indices for vertices in each strip. Primitives can alternatively be quantized to generate primitive packets, that are stored compactly in, with, or near a leaf node of an acceleration structure. Low-precision intersection testers test a ray simultaneously against primitives to find candidate triangles that require full-precision intersection. Primitives that generate an inconclusive result during low-precision testing are retested using full-precision testers to definitively determine ray-triangle hits or misses.

Abstract: This disclosure presents methods and systems of controlling a counter flow double pipe heat exchanger (DPHE) that includes a hot fluid pipe and a cold fluid pipe. In a method, a temperature error between a reference temperature and a temperature at an outlet of the hot fluid pipe of the counter flow DPHE is determined. A cold fluid mass flow rate is determined from an output of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller based on the temperature error being input to the PID controller. The cold fluid mass flow rate is used for a cold fluid in the cold fluid pipe of the counter flow DPHE. The temperature error is controlled within a predefined range by utilizing parameters of the PID controller that are set by using a harmony search algorithm (HSA) to obtain a minimization of a cost function.

A user equipment (UE) may apply an uplink muting maximum power reduction (UM-MPR) to uplink transmissions based on receiving an activation for uplink muting (e.g., activation of a muting pattern).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. More particularly, various aspects relate generally to power boosting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in a CSI-RS resource occasion occurring in a sub-band full duplex (SBFD) set of symbols and/or in a CSI-RS resource occasion that overlaps with an uplink sub-band and/or a guard band of the SBFD set of symbols. In some aspects, a network node may configure a UE with a CSI-RS resource associated with SBFD sets of symbols and non-SBFD sets of symbols. The network node may transmit, and the UE may receive, in an instance of the CSI-RS resource that occurs in an SBFD set of symbols, a CSI-RS. The CSI-RS may be associated with a power-boosted energy per resource element (EPRE) as compared to an EPRE of a CSI-RS transmitted in a CSI-RS occasion occurring in a non-SBFD set of symbols.

Abstract: Aspects are provided for generation and transmission of MDMRS which allow matching of nonlinear model impact or properties between DMRS and data in DFT-s-OFDM waveforms as well as CP-OFDM waveforms. A UE transmits, to a network entity, an MDMRS generated from a DMRS. The MDMRS has a PAPR distribution matching a PAPR distribution of a signal including data in an uplink channel. A target PAPR of the MDMRS is based on a modulation scheme of the data. The UE also transmits the data in the uplink channel, where the uplink channel includes a PUCCH or a PUSCH. As a result of the ability of MDMRS to match the nonlinear impact of DMRS and PUSCH or PUCCH, the network entity may compensate for any EVM that may occur as a result of PAPR reduction by a nonlinear operator of the UE, and communication performance may thereby be improved.
