Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE including an application processor and a modem to disable measurements of reference signals from 5G base stations which are inapplicable to EN-DC. The UE may receive a reference signal from a base station. The UE may identify a frequency range. The UE may provide, using the application processor, an indication to the modem. The UE may determine whether to measure the reference signal using the modem based on the indication provided to the modem from the application processor and whether the reference signal is within the identified frequency range and further based on whether the base station is standalone or non-standalone. The UE may refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to the determination. As a result, inter-RAT handovers from LTE base stations to 5G base stations are prevented, UE power consumption is thereby saved, and support for EN-DC is maintained.

Abstract: A low power sequential circuit (e.g., latch) uses a non-linear polar capacitor to retain charge with fewer transistors than traditional CMOS sequential circuits. In one example, a sequential circuit includes pass-gates and inverters, but without a feedback mechanism or memory element. In another example, a sequential uses load capacitors (e.g., capacitors coupled to a storage node and a reference supply). The load capacitors are implemented using ferroelectric material, paraelectric material, or linear dielectric. In one example, a sequential uses minority, majority, or threshold gates with ferroelectric or paraelectric capacitors. In one example, a sequential circuit uses minority, majority, or threshold gates configured as NAND gates.

The seal pocket detection assembly is configured to detect a ferrous object passing through the bore.

Abstract: Automated techniques for converting network devices from a Layer 2 (L2) network into a Layer 3 (L3) network in a hierarchical manner are described herein. The network devices may be configured to boot such that their ports are in an initialization mode in which the ports are unable to transmit locally generated DHCP packets. When a network device detects that a neighbor (or “peer”) device has acquired an IP address or has been configured by a network controller, then the port on which the neighbor device is detected can then be transitioned from the initialization mode into a forwarding mode. In the forwarding mode, the port can be used to transmit packets to obtain an IP address. Thus, the network devices are converted from an L2 device to an L3 device in a hierarchical order such that upstream devices are discovered and converted into L3 devices before downstream devices.

The method further includes bridging out the multicast data packet from a second edge device of the plurality of edge devices to a receiving device. The source device and the receiving device are located within the mutual subnetwork.

Abstract: An access control system and a method for operating an access control system are provided. The access control system includes a camera and an access control device and may additionally include a local processing device. At least one of the camera, the access control device, and the local processing device (when included) may be used to store a biometric identifier (e.g., in a storage medium) and compare an optical image with the biometric identifier (e.g., in an authentication module) to decide whether or not a mechanical or electronic lock should be unlocked. The camera, the access control device, and the local processing device (when included) are in short-range communication (e.g., to transmit the optical image and/or an authentication signal). The use of short-range communication allows the comparison of the optical image with the stored biometric identifier to be done locally instead of remotely (e.g., in a sever).

Abstract: Techniques include providing a user with a set of loudspeakers on a sphere and playing back sound from the set of loudspeakers one at a time. For each loudspeaker, the user points in a direction at which the user perceives the sound. The HRTF corresponding to a new direction based on the perceived direction is used instead, or the original HRTF at the perceived direction is used. In some implementations, the new direction is obtained from the perceived direction via a barycentric mapping. In some implementations, a difference between the new direction and the perceived direction is equal to a difference between the perceived direction and the original direction.
