  • Patent number: 11658885
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches automating evaluation of QoE for data communication services in a wireless network—accessing performance indicators, mappings for the performance indicators to SKQIs in a SKQI parameters table, and mappings for SKQIs to KQIs in an SKQI-to-KQI mapping table. The disclosed method includes configuring first and second functions that, respectively, roll up performance indicators into SKQIs based on parameters stored in the SKQI parameters table to calculate SKQI scores and weights, and roll up SKQIs into KQIs and QoE based on parameters stored in SKQI-to-KQI and SKQI-to-QoE mapping tables, to calculate KQI and QoE scores. Also disclosed is generating first SQL statements that invoke the first function to calculate the SKQIs and second SQL statements that invoke the second function to calculate KQIs and QoE, storing generated first and second SQL statements in non-volatile storage and calculating KQIs and QoE using the automatically generated SQL statements.

  • Patent number: 11202843
    Abstract: An air fed mycoplasma device includes an array of elongate microchannels formed in a plastic or ceramic having tolerance to ozone and other radicals formed when plasma is generated from air in the microchannels. The microchannels include inlets configured to accept an air feed, and outlets configured to direct plasma jets toward a surface (which may be flat or internal to a pipe, for example) or object. An array of electrodes within the plastic/ceramic housing is configured to ignite and maintain plasma in the microchannels and is isolated by the dielectric from the microchannels. A supply intake for is configured to providing a plasma medium into the microchannels.

  • Publication number: 20210312464
    Abstract: A method of speech recognition ordering may include generating a voice database having a biometric characteristic for each of the different users, and a voice profile for each of the different users. The method may include providing an ordering user interface, receiving speech input including an order from a given user, and determining a given biometric characteristic for the given user. The method may have identifying the given user from the different users by comparing the given biometric characteristic with the biometric characteristic for each of the different users, and performing speech recognition on the speech input using an order database including potential order permutations, the speech recognition being based upon a given voice profile of the given user.

  • Publication number: 20200099572
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches alerting a network operator to deteriorated wireless network conditions with granularity and reduced false alerts, including receiving tracked performance indicators (KPIs) for multiple components of voice, data and messaging and accessing a mapping for combining the performance indicators into quality sub-indicators for individual users and into key quality indicators (KQI) for the individual users. This includes smoothing the current KQI measures of performance over time to reduce the impact of brief transitory events, accessing a weekly profile of KQIs, and comparing KQIs for a current time window to past KQIs for a corresponding time window for the individual users operating mobile devices in part of the cellular network that is a focus of interest. Based on the comparing, the disclosed technology includes generating alerts that report out-of-range current KQIs within the focus of interest that are persistently out-of-range for longer than a configurable time.

  • Publication number: 20090133693
    Abstract: A water-sealing diving-use snorkel without generating a vacuum suction force includes a diving-use snorkel unit connected with an air intake-ventilation nozzle unit comprising an air intake-ventilation pipe, a nozzle plate, at least one housing, a water-sealing membrane, and a float, being orderly sheathed. The water-sealing membrane and the float are sheathed respectively on strip units of the nozzle plate, allowing the water-sealing membrane and the float to slide freely on rails of the strip units. When a water level sinks, a small amount of air can enter into the snorkel unit from a notch on a leak-proof washer below the nozzle plate; therefore, no vacuum suction force will be formed to suck the water-sealing membrane, such that a sense of fear that a user feels unable to breathe can be eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20050229318
    Abstract: The present invention refers to an improvement in a bed mattress containing signal means for the identification of the correct mattress position for any day of the year, making it viable for the implementation of a rotation program designed for increasing the useful life of this product. The improved mattress contains signal means for indicating which one of the four possible mattress positions is the correct one at the date of inspection. For example, in a monthly rotation program, if the current month is not indicated on the mattress in a directly readable form, the mattress should have its position altered, until the correct month is directly readable on the mattress. In this manner, the four positions of the mattress are uniformly used, expanding significantly the useful life of the mattress, in comparison with another that is not rotated, that is rotated sporadically or that is rotated in a random fashion.
