  • Publication number: 20240089791
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a wireless device may buffer uplink communications. However, such approaches may be improved. An access point (AP) may receive, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link. The AP may monitor a buffer of the AP to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow. The AP may modify, based on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station.

  • Publication number: 20230394229
    Abstract: Provided is a software process that can dynamically identify and display a plurality of category values of an electronic file based on a file name assigned to the electronic file. Thus, the software can automatically populate a user interface with details about content within the electronic file based on the file name. In one example, the method may include receiving an electronic computer file having a file name, identifying a subset of characters within the file name which correspond to a data category, mapping a value of the identified subset of characters to a category value in the data category, displaying an identifier of the electronic file on a user interface, and dynamically populating a predefined field within the user interface corresponding to the data category with the mapped category value.

  • Patent number: 11676262
    Abstract: A method for determining part wear, such as using a wear metric, includes receiving, from a sensor, sensor data representing a surface of a wear part. The method further includes determining distances between measured points in the sensor data and points on one or more part models, which part models may include new part models and/or worn or wear limit part models. The method further includes using a bounding model that at least partially envelopes the part model(s) and the measured points to determine a direction along which the distances are measured. The method may also include quantifying wear using the measured distances.
