Publication number: 20240146586Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose e.g. a method performed by a wireless device (10) for handling communication for the wireless device in a second wireless communication network. The second wireless communication network coexists with a first wireless communication network on a same bandwidth in frequency, wherein the first wireless communication network applies a first shift in frequency in uplink transmissions. The wireless device receives from a radio network node (12, 13), an indication indicating application of a second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions in case the second wireless communication network uses Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The wireless device further applies the second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions, wherein the second shift defines a shift in frequency to a subcarrier relative to a subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network or a shift in frequency to the subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Robert Baldemair, Johan Bergman, Erik Dahlman, Olof Liberg, Stefan Parkvall, Yi-Pin Eric Wang

Publication number: 20170206904Abstract: An input signal may be classified by comparing a trajectory of a sequence of feature vectors of the input signal to sequences of feature vectors of reference signals, wherein the reference signals correspond to classes. For a class, a score may be computed that indicates a match between the trajectory of the input signal with trajectories of reference sequences corresponding to the class. The input signal may be classified by selecting a class corresponding to a highest score. In some implementations, the score may by computed by determining a number of nearest neighbors of the class to the input signal or by sequentially processing the input signal and updating a score for successive steps of the input sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: KnuEdge IncorporatedInventors: Douglas Robert Bergman, John Clemente Quinn, David Carlson Bradley

Publication number: 20170098233Abstract: A system and method for coupon redemption and automated proceed investment is disclosed. The system includes a management server that provides access to a merchant's transaction processing system and to individual member portals for registered customers. An input device is provided that is in operable communication with the management server, with the input device including a display with a user interface configured to display customer log-in and coupon redemption options to the customer and to receive log-in information and coupon redemption selections. A processor in the device is programmed to identify data relating to a customer designated account based on the log-in information provided by the registered customer, cause the user interface to display an electronic investment prompt for selecting a coupon redemption option, set aside an investment amount associated with the selected coupon redemption option, and finalize and transfer the investment amount into the customer designated account.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2016Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Robert Bergman, Rick C.

Patent number: 8990411Abstract: Dynamically evaluating candidate connections as alternatives to an active connection between a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device transitions to one of the candidate connections to replace the active connection based on the evaluation. The evaluation and transition occurs based on time intervals, events, or conditions. Maintaining the candidate connections enables mobile devices, for example, to be resilient to and tolerant of topology changes affecting the active connection.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2010Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joel Robert Bergman, Jyh-Han Lin, Fadi Al Sayed Hassan, Pavani Haridasyam, Ryan Bane

Patent number: 8977652Abstract: Techniques for manipulating URIs that have been rewritten for XmlHttpRequests (XHRs) and/or Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP). In one set of embodiments, a URI rewriter factory module is provided that is configured to determine and select a URI rewriter module based upon an input URI string. The input URI string may be, for example, in the form of a Javascript pseudo-protocol link, a remote proxy URI, or both. The selected URI rewriter module can then parse the input URI string to generate a URI object that has methods for manipulating the input URI string and for outputting the resulting manipulated URI as a string.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Ture Hoefner, Robert Bergman, Timmothy Pesce

Patent number: 7757364Abstract: To achieve improved ultrasonic testing coverage of a finished machined component, the present invention applies a method for modifying a finished machine component forging for ultrasonic inspection. A forging envelope may be constructed in the shape of a right circular cylinder that surrounds a machine component forging. Then material may be added to the forging envelope in the direction of the forging equal to about 2 times a wavelength of an ultrasonic inspection device. Additional material may then be added to an inspection surface of the forging envelope equal to the dimension of a transducer dead zone, if the forging cannot be inspected ultrasonically from two opposing surfaces in the forged direction. Lastly, material may be added to the forging envelope in a direction perpendicular to the forging direction equal to a transducer footprint plus the break edge radius.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Robert V.
