Abstract: A memory includes a memory cell that operates in response to an array supply voltage, and a corresponding pair of bit lines that are pre-charged to a periphery supply voltage prior to each access of the memory cell. A sense amplifier coupled to the bit lines operates in response to the periphery supply voltage. The periphery supply voltage is less than the array supply voltage to enable power savings within the memory. A first pair of transistors is configured to couple the sense amplifier to the bit lines during write accesses to the memory cell, thereby boosting the write voltages applied to the bit lines during a write operation. That is, the first pair of transistors is configured such that the sense amplifier pulls one of the bit lines toward the periphery supply voltage (and the other one of the bit lines toward the ground supply voltage) during write accesses.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging include obtaining a T1-weighted MR image and a proton-density (PD) weighted MR image from a dual-image acquisition following an inversion-recovery (IR) pulse.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for streaming Over-the-Top (OTT) content on a network to subscribers is described. A digital video transport stream of an item of the OTT content is obtained via unicast streaming methods of a resolution and bit rate selected from an available set of different resolutions and bit rates for the digital video transport stream. The digital video transport stream of the selected resolution and bit rate is transmitted in the form of an IP multicast over the network to subscribers. Bandwidth utilization of the network is monitored so that switching of the bit rate to a different bit rate for the digital video transport stream can be controlled to provide adaptive rate control of the IP multicast.

Abstract: A first device associated with an evolved packet core network receives a first update request from a second device associated with the evolved packet core network. The first update request is associated with a communication session previously provided between the first device and the second device, and the first update request is generated based on a voice/video request. The first device generates an update answer in response to the first update request, where the update answer includes a code requesting that the communication session be restored between the first device and the second device. The first device receives, based on the code, a second update request from the second device, where the second update request includes session information associated with the communication session. The first device restores, based on the session information, the communication session between the first device and the second device to create a restored communication session.
