  • Publication number: 20240134921
    Abstract: A user of a network-based system may correspond to a user profile that describes the user. The user profile may describe the user using one or more descriptors of items that correspond to the user (e.g., items owned by the user, items liked by the user, or items rated by the user). In some situations, such a user profile may be characterized as a “taste profile” that describes an array or distribution of one or more tastes, preferences, or habits of the user. Accordingly, the user profile machine within the network-based system may generate the user profile by accessing descriptors of items that correspond to the user, clustering one or more of the descriptors, and generating the user profile based on one or more clusters of the descriptors.

  • Patent number: 11968015
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, such as a number of simultaneous feedback reports that can be processed and reported by the UE for various types of feedback. For example, UE feedback processing capability may depend on channel state information (CSI) processing units (CPUs) available to the UE for feedback processing operations (e. g., for performing channel measurements, processing feedback, generating a feedback report, etc.). A UE may report feedback processing capability separately for periodic feedback reporting and for aperiodic feedback reporting, for different types of feedback reporting (e. g., for CSI reporting, for beam management reporting, etc.), etc. As such, a UE may more efficiently report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, and a base station may more efficiently configure UE feedback reporting according to UE feedback processing capability.

  • Patent number: 11950914
    Abstract: Multiple circuits in a computing device can share one or more conductive elements. The use of the conductive element can vary by circuit, such as an antenna radiator for a radio frequency (RF) circuit or an electrode for an electrocardiography (ECG) circuit. The circuitry sharing a conductive element can utilize signals obtained over different frequency ranges. Those ranges can be used to select decoupling circuitry, or elements, that can enable the respective circuits to obtain signals over a respective frequency range, excluding signals over one or more other frequency ranges corresponding to other circuitry sharing the circuit. Such an approach allows for concurrent independent operation of the circuitry sharing a conductive element.

  • Patent number: 11927522
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for adjusting a particle classification index in response to one or more saturated data signals from light detected from particles in a flow stream. Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light from particles in a flow stream; generating a plurality of data signals from the detected light; identifying one or more saturated data signals; generating a saturated signal index that corresponds to the identified saturated data signals; and applying the saturated signal index to a particle classification index to generate an adjusted particle classification index. In some embodiments, methods include determining one or more parameters of a particle (e.g., for use in a particle sort decision) by calculating an adjusted spectral unmixing matrix for the fluorescence of the particle that excludes one or more saturated data signals. Systems and integrated circuit devices (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20240072963
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a UE capability message, the UE capability message indicating a supported transmit antenna switching (TxAS) capability for each port of the UE. The UE may receive a configuration message indicating an uplink multiple-input/multiple-output (UL MIMO) configuration for the UE, the UL MIMO configuration being based at least in part on the UE capability message. The UE may identify, based at least in part on the configuration message, a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration to use for transmitting SRSs in conjunction with the UL MIMO communications, the SRS configuration comprising a configuration for transmission by the UE of SRSs using at least one of the two or more ports of the UE, the SRSs transmitted on one or more antennas of the UE selected according to a TxAS configuration for the respective port.

  • Patent number: 10574779
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive caching of content to facilitate instantaneous use of the content. If a user is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, and if the client has available resources to facilitate instantaneous use, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the user commences use. In doing so, the client may obtain metadata for the content item from a server. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate instantaneous use of the content item by the client based at least in part on the metadata.

  • Patent number: 10389838
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the use is commenced. In doing so, the client may obtain an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate use of the content item by the client. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

  • Patent number: 9526377
    Abstract: The Lid Storage System provides an organized and secure method of storing pot lids, decorative plates or other similar items on a mounting surface in an approximately vertical position. The system in its simplest form consists of one top bracket and two lower brackets for each lid. Each bracket may include a double-sided adhesive pad to affix each bracket to the mounting surface but may also include a passage for a fastener if needed. The top bracket includes a top flange that is longer than the lower flange of each lower bracket, which provides the needed clearance for the lid to slide up into the top bracket and clear the lower flange of each lower bracket for insertion and removal of the lids. The top bracket is arranged on the centerline of the lid and the lower brackets are arranged one on either side of the center line. The lid nests within the brackets in the stored position in which the lid also remains secured during any movement of the mounting surface such as a cabinet door.

  • Patent number: 9282111
    Abstract: A cloud security service is made available to endpoint computers. Network traffic from originating application programs running on endpoint computers are redirected to the cloud security service based on characteristics of the originating application programs. Network traffic from an originating application program may be redirected to the cloud security service by way of a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel or generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel between an endpoint computer and a cloud computing system hosting the cloud security service, for example. Network traffic from an originating application program may also be routed from an endpoint computer to a gateway system, and then redirected from the gateway system to the cloud computing system. The cloud security service may drop or forward network packets of the network traffic depending on a result of scanning the network packets.
