Abstract: A network function service invocation method includes sending, by a first network function network element, a first request message to an authorization network element, wherein the first request message is used to request permission to invoke a first network function service provided by a second network function network element, performing, by the authorization network element, identity authentication on the first network function network element, generating, by the authorization network element, a token when determining that the identity authentication succeeds, wherein the token is used to indicate that the first network function network element has the permission to invoke the first network function service of the second network function network element, and sending, by the authorization network element, a token to the first network function network element.

Abstract: An anchor key generation method, device, and system, where the method includes generating, by a unified data management network element (UDM), an intermediate key based on a cipher key (CK), an integrity key (IK), and indication information regarding an operator; sending, by the UDM, the intermediate key to an authentication server function (AUSF); receiving, by the AUSF, the intermediate key; generating, by the AUSF, an anchor key based on the intermediate key; sending, by the AUSF, the anchor key to a security anchor function (SEAF); and generating, by the SEAF, a key (Kamf) based on the anchor key, where the Kamf is used to derive a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) key.

Abstract: A finite element model of an ear stored on a computer readable medium having logic representing a three-dimensional geometric model of the ear; logic for meshing individual anatomical structures of the ear accounting for whether the anatomical structures include at least one of air, liquid material and solid material; logic for assigning material properties for each anatomical structure based on at least one physical property of each anatomical structure; logic for assigning boundary conditions for some of the anatomical structures indicative of interaction between such anatomical structures; and logic for employing acoustic-structural coupled analysis to the anatomical structures of the ear to generate data indicative of the acoustic effect on mechanical vibration transmission in the ear. Various embodiments of “one-chamber” and “two-chamber” analyses and models are described.

Abstract: A totally implantable hearing system having a sound processing device, a coil assembly, and a magnet assembly. The magnet assembly is implanted in the middle ear of a user and is in contact with at least a portion of an ossicle of the middle ear. The sound processing device receives and converts sound into an electrical signal. The coil assembly receives and converts the electrical signal from the sound processing device into an electromagnetic signal, and transmits the electromagnetic signal into the middle ear of the user such that the electromagnet signals interact with the magnet assembly, thereby causing the magnet assembly and the ossicle to vibrate thereby creating the perception of sound in the user. The coil assembly is preferably implanted within the bony canal wall adjacent the outer ear canal of the user such that at least a portion of the coil assembly extends into the middle ear space of the user.

Abstract: Methods for forming fastener holes in the construction of fuselage assemblies. The method utilizes a triple gantry drilling system with upper, left and right side gantries, within which are dedicated robotic deployment arms having an automatic tool change system with drill attachment exchangeable with a plurality of tools. Each gantry is capable of translational movement along three different axis, as well as rotational movement about an axis of rotation and axis of pitch, respectively, such that simultaneous drilling about the fuselage can be achieved. The method further includes the incorporation of a vision system with camera to assist mechanics to view the drilling processes and verify structure position.
