Abstract: Systems and method are provided for dynamic VoNR switching in NRCA scenarios. A user is conducting a VoNR call on a primary cell with the radio quality determined with respect to an operator defined threshold based on monitoring the radio quality of the call for a predetermined time duration. Voice quality may degrade, so radio quality is compared with at least one configured secondary cell using at least one operator defined radio condition. The radio condition may be a mean opinion score (MOS), or may be an RF signal quality measurement. The comparison between the primary cell and the secondary cell reveals if at least one of the configured secondary cells exceeds at least one operator defined radio condition. The UE may be dynamically instructed to transfer from the current serving primary cell to the at least one configured secondary cell that exceeds at least one operator defined radio condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for more accurate and robust determination of subject characteristics from an image of the subject. One or more machine learning models receive as input an image of a subject, and output both facial landmarks and associated confidence values. Confidence values represent the degrees to which portions of the subject's face corresponding to those landmarks are occluded, i.e., the amount of uncertainty in the position of each landmark location. These landmark points and their associated confidence values, and/or associated information, may then be input to another set of one or more machine learning models which may output any facial analysis quantity or quantities, such as the subject's gaze direction, head pose, drowsiness state, cognitive load, or distraction state.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. As the transactions are received, the transactions may be analyzed to detect duplicate transactions and/or errors in the transactions. The transaction exchange platform may take steps to remediate transactions that are recognized as duplicates or predicted to generate one or more errors. Similarly, the transaction exchange platform may take steps to remediate transactions that are rejected by a clearinghouse.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for selecting an optimal value for an adjustable parameter of a structured light metrology (SLM) system, for scanning an object. The SLM system performs test scans of the object to acquire a plurality of sets of measurements of the object, wherein a different value is used for the parameter for each test scan. For each test scan, a value of a quality metric is calculated, based on the set of measurements of the object associated with the test scan and simulation data representing a simulated scan of the object by the SLM system. A test scan is then identified that has a quality metric value that satisfies a specified optimization criterion; and a value of the adjustable parameter that was used for the identified test scan is selected as the optimal value of the adjustable parameter, for scanning the object.
