Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for performing fast beam tracking in a wireless communication environment. A UE signals to a gNB its capabilities for intra-symbol beam sweeping. Depending on configuration, the UE can either assume that the intra-symbol beam sweeping configuration will be implemented, or will await a response from the gNB before implementing intra-symbol beam sweeping. Although this is generally carried out during initial access between the UE and the gNB, the beam sweeping configuration can be dynamically updated by either the UE or the gNB during established communication. For example, the UE can signal a desired change via its MAC CE, and the gNB can signal its change to the UE via DCI.

Abstract: A heat sink assembly for a cage for a field replaceable computing module includes a heat sink, a thermal interface material (TIM), and an actuation assembly. The heat sink includes a mating surface. The TIM includes a first surface that is coupled to the mating surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. Thus, the second surface can engage a heat transfer surface of a field replaceable computing module installed adjacent the heat sink. The actuation assembly includes a shape memory alloy (SMA) element. When the SMA element is in a first position, the second surface of the TIM contacts the heat transfer surface of the computing module. When the SMA element moves to a second position, the second surface of the TIM is moved a distance away from the heat transfer surface of the computing module.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to an asset discovery engine with a deep vulnerabilities scanner with respect to assets in an industrial network. In an embodiment, a request to perform an asset vulnerability assessment of one or more assets within a network is received, the request comprising an asset descriptor describing the one or more assets. In response to the request, aggregated asset property data associated with the one or more assets is obtained based on the asset descriptor. Furthermore, the asset vulnerability assessment is performed based on the aggregated asset property data and asset vulnerability signature data stored in an asset vulnerability signature repository. In response to determining that the asset vulnerability assessment satisfies a defined criterion, one or more actions associated with the network are performed.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing a workflow on a user device. A user device can receive image data from a camera of the user device. The device can perform object recognition to recognize an object from the image data, as well as classification of the object. The user device can match the object classification with a backend system. The example method can also include launching a workflow form associated with the matching backend system. The user device can launch a form having these fields available, either within the workflow application or within a dedicated application associated with the relevant backend system. The user device can pre-fill one or more information fields in the workflow form based on the object classification, providing the user with a head start on submitting the form to the appropriate system.

Abstract: A utility-scale energy storage and conversion system can operate two or more inverter groups such that their reactive power commands are proportional to their available reactive power range. The control system can therefore distribute the reactive power commands in proportion to the available Q range, thereby ensuring that all inverters in the utility-scale energy storage and conversion system 100 operate with the same Q “headroom”. In addition, the utility-scale energy storage and conversion system can use an on-load tap changer (LTC) to adjust a terminal voltage associated with a first group of inverters and a second group of inverters. The first group of inverters can be associated with a first rating and the second group of inverters can be associated with a second rating that is greater than the first rating.

Abstract: The need for extracting information trapped in unstructured document images is becoming more acute. A major hurdle to this objective is that these images often contain information in the form of tables and extracting data from tabular sub-images presents a unique set of challenges. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that implement a deep learning network for both table detection and structure recognition, wherein interdependence between table detection and table structure recognition are exploited to segment out the table and column regions. This is followed by semantic rule-based row extraction from the identified tabular sub-regions.

Abstract: In some examples, software CoBot engineering, execution, and monitoring may include extracting a CoBot requirement from a requirement specification for a CoBot that is to be implemented. Based on application of a CoBot description language to the CoBot requirement, a CoBot workflow that specifies a plurality of tasks to be performed by the CoBot may be generated. A determination may be made as to whether a task is to be performed by a bot or by a human. A team that includes a plurality of bots and at least one human may be generated to execute the CoBot workflow. The bots of the team may be prioritized to identify a bot that is a best match to the CoBot requirement. The CoBot that includes configured bots may be deployed in an operational environment to perform the CoBot workflow.
