Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes a method for enhanced signaling gateway status detection and selection for emergency calls. The method includes, in a mobility management entity (MME) including at least one processor, detecting that a signaling gateway is in a risky state using a combination of echo request and call setup signaling timeouts. The method further includes marking the signaling gateway as risky in a signaling gateway status database maintained by the MME. The method further includes performing signaling gateway selection for an emergency call in a manner that excludes signaling gateways marked as risky.

Abstract: A receiver receives communications over a communication channel, which may distort an incoming communication signal. In order to counter this distortion, the frequency response of the receiver is manipulated by adjusting several frequency response parameters. Each frequency response parameter controls at least a portion of the frequency response of the receiver. The optimal values for the frequency response parameters are determined by modifying an initial set of values for the frequency response parameters through one or more of stochastic hill climbing operations until a performance metric associated with the receiver reaches a local maximum. The modified values are displaced through one or more mutation operations. The stochastic hill climbing operations may subsequently be performed on the mutated values to generate the final values for the frequency response parameters.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in a hierarchical feedback aggregation (HFA) system implemented in one or more data processing systems, for collecting and presenting user feedback information for a composite offering. A backend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a first data processing system, registers a hierarchical feedback model for the composite offering. A frontend engine of the HFA system, implemented in a second data processing system, receives user feedback for an identified component of the composite offering. The backend engine of the HFA system generates an aggregate user feedback score for the identified component based on a combination of the user feedback for the identified component and aggregate user feedback scores for child components of the identified component in the hierarchical feedback model. The backend engine outputs a representation of the generated aggregate user feedback score for the component to a user.

Abstract: A mold includes a first section, a second section, and a weakened region that joins the first section to the second section. The weakened region is breakable, deflectable, or deformable in response to a first threshold force to enable the first section to be removed from a shell independently of the second section after the shell is formed over the mold. The first threshold force is less than a second threshold force that would damage or permanently deform the shell. The first section is a first mold of at least a portion of one or more first teeth of a dental arch and the second section is a second mold of at least a portion of one or more second teeth of the dental arch.

Abstract: A method and system directed to performing account activity tracking is provided. More specifically, user activity associated with a user's first account may influence when a user's second account is signed out due to inactivity. Accordingly, an activity request including a first identifier associated with a first user account may be received from a first entity, and based on the first identifier associated with the first user account, a second identifier associated with a second user account may be retrieved, where the first identifier and the second identifier are linked to one another. Activity information for the second identifier associated with the second user account may be obtained which may be provided to the entity. A decision as to whether or not to keep the user signed in may be based on the activity information.

Abstract: Examples described herein can identify items from third-party or backend services, obtain relevant information for those items, and automatically populate hyperlinks relevant to those items in a draft email.

Abstract: A message may be too long to be sent all at once. For example, there may be a limit on the number of bits that can be transmitted by a device operating in a power-save mode. The disclosure relates in some aspects to sending a message over packet boundaries (e.g., several frames or sub-frames). The disclosure relates in some aspects to segmenting a Broadcast Information Block and sending the resulting segments over broadcast information window boundaries. In some aspects, this information may be sent via overhead channels. To facilitate this segmentation, information about the segmentation may be included in the information sent from the transmitter to the receiver. For example, a first segment may indicate the number of segments and subsequent segments may indicate the segment number.
