A wireless communication device can include a device enclosure that at least partially encompasses an interior of the wireless communication device, the device enclosure comprising a cover assembly that defines a surface of the wireless communication device, wherein the cover assembly is composed of at least a first material; an antenna embedded within the interior of the wireless communication device substantially adjacent to the cover assembly, wherein the antenna is situated at a position relative to the cover assembly; and an aperture formed into the cover assembly at the position, wherein the aperture is not composed of the first material. Alternatively, the aperture can be coated with a non-reflective material that is distinct from the first material.

For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: distributing a plurality of graphics draws to a plurality of graphics processors; performing position-only shading using vertex data associated with tiles of a first draw on a first graphics processor, the first graphics processor responsively generating visibility data for each of the tiles; distributing subsets of the visibility data associated with different subsets of the tiles to different graphics processors; limiting geometry work to be performed on each tile by each graphics processor using the visibility data, each graphics processor to responsively generate rendered tiles; and wherein the rendered tiles are combined to generate a complete image frame.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for controlling pressure and/or flow during exhalation. The disclosure describes novel exhalation modes for ventilating a patient.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for managing a move of a patient being monitored or treated by a medical system, such as a medical ventilator. The disclosure describes a novel approach for preventing a patient from being moved from a first location to second different location that is connected to a monitoring and/or treatment system, before all of the necessary hoses have been disconnected from the patient. Further, the disclosure describes a novel approach of ensuring that all of the necessary hoses are reconnected to a patient being monitored or treated by a monitoring and/or treatment system after being moved from the first location to the second different location.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a threat score prediction model is generated for assigning a threat score to a software vulnerability. The threat score prediction model may factor one or more of (i) a degree to which the software vulnerability is described across a set of public media sources, (ii) a degree to which one or more exploits that have already been developed for the software vulnerability are described across one or more public exploit databases, (iii) information from one or more third party threat intelligence sources that characterizes one or more historic threat events associated with the software vulnerability, and/or (iv) information that characterizes at least one behavior of an enterprise network in association with the software vulnerability.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable loop processing in a command processing block of the graphics hardware. Such hardware may include a processor including a command buffer, and a graphics command parser. The graphics command parser to load graphics commands from the command buffer, parse a first graphics command, store a loop count value associated with the first graphics command, parse a second graphics command and store a loop wrap address based on the second graphics command. The graphics command parser may execute a command sequence identified by the second graphics command, parse a third graphics command, the third graphics command identifying an end of the command sequence, set a new loop count value, and iteratively execute the command sequence using the loop wrap address based on the new loop count value.
