  • Patent number: 11949213
    Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) determines depth information for a local area. The DCA includes a camera assembly and at least one illuminator. The DCA may select a subset of the VCSELs to provide illumination at any given time. The illuminator may comprise near-field VCSELs configured to generate a structured light (SL) pattern for depth sensing in the near-field and far-field VCSELs configured to generate a SL pattern for depth sensing in the far-field. The near-field VCSELs may comprise a linear emission region which is shorter than a linear emission region of the far-field VCSELs. The DCA may generate and phase shift a quasi-sinusoidal SL pattern. The DCA may phase shift the quasi-sinusoidal SL pattern by alternating which traces on the illuminator are active.

  • Publication number: 20230420898
    Abstract: A splice device is provided that includes a main housing, a first set of jaws, and a movement conversion assembly. The first set of jaws is in the main housing and depend outward along a conductor axis. The first set of jaws receive a first electrical conductor therein. The movement conversion assembly is in the main housing and includes a driver operatively associated with the first set of jaws so that a tightening movement of the driver is converted into a clamping force of the first set of jaws on the first electrical conductor.

  • Patent number: 11838383
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, by an edge enabler client of the UE, to trigger generation of a shadow application context to support an application that is associated with an application context and that is served by an edge network device. The UE may determine, by the edge enabler client, to transfer support of the application from the application context to the shadow application context, and transfer, by the edge enabler client, support of the application from the application context to the shadow application context. In some aspects, an application context may be transferred between a UE and an edge network directly, without the shadow application context. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230389060
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a mobile device for allocating resources to a plurality of mobile devices in communication with an Edge network. The processor may receive from the plurality of mobile devices one or more capabilities of each mobile device related to a computing task in which the plurality of mobile devices are participating. The processor may determine a fairness result for the plurality of computing devices based on the one or more capabilities of each mobile device and the computing task. The processor may allocate resources to each of the plurality of mobile devices based on the determined fairness result.

  • Publication number: 20230362129
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may store, in a domain name system (DNS) cache, DNS information associated with an edge application server at which an application context, associated with an application client resident on the UE, is located. The UE may receive a first message associated with a handover of the UE or a second message associated with a transfer of the application context. The UE may modify the DNS cache, by updating the DNS information or flushing the DNS information, based at least in part on receiving the first message or the second message. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Patent number: 11763645
    Abstract: The LED light and sound ball for emergency responders is activated upon contact after being fired from a launcher to illuminate and direct responders to an area of interest, such as a potential crime scene. The ball includes a clear polymeric, spherical outer casing, and a rectangular, clear inner casing having a circuit board mounted therein. A plurality of rig rods extend through the inner casing and include curved heads that are in close proximity to the inner surface of the spherical outer casing. Upon impact, the outer casing flexes and pushes against one of the curved heads and pushes its associated rig rod inward, thereby closing a contact that triggers a control circuit to continuously illuminate a plurality of bright LEDs and continuously activate a sound generator that emits a foghorn-type alarm. The LED light and sound ball may be thrown or fired from a conventional compressed air launcher.

  • Patent number: 11743808
    Abstract: Systems and methods for user equipment (UE) triggered edge computing application context relocation in an edge computing application architecture are described. For example, in facilitating relocation of an application context from a source edge application server (S-EAS) served by a source edge enabler server (S-EES) to a target EAS (T-EAS) served by a target EES (T-EES), S-EES centric and/or T-EES centric UE triggered application context relocation procedures may be implemented. In accordance with S-EES centric and/or T-EES centric UE triggered application context relocation procedures of some examples, a UE may take primary responsibility with respect to the application context transfer. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
