Abstract: A method of renting rentable items using NFTs receives a request from an owner to list a rentable item for rent, causes a distributed ledger system to mint an inheritable rental NFT, and assign the rental NFT to the owner. The method lists the item for rent, receives a request from a renter to rent the item for a first set of time durations, and causes the distributed ledger system to mint a first set of child rental NFTs, where each child rental NFT is associated with a time duration in the first set of time durations, assign the first set of child rental NFTs to the renter, mint a second set of one or more child rental NFTs for the rentable item for time durations other than the first set of time durations, assign the second set of child rental NFTs to the owner, and burn the rental NFT.

Abstract: A method of validating the ownership of a cryptocurrency based on the user's biometric information is provided. The user's accounts are generated based on their biometric information. The biometric information of the users is stored in their accounts as their original biometric seeds. The users generate additional user-generated biometric seeds from portions of their original biometric seeds. The users use capsules as valued carriers. The users combine the capsules and their user-generated biometric seeds to generate cryptocurrencies with the same value as the capsules. When a cryptocurrency is transferred from a first owner to a second owner, the second owner decomposes the cryptocurrency to get a capsule with the same value as the cryptocurrency. The second user combines the capsule of the second user's user generated biometric seeds to generate a cryptocurrency.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, configuration information related to a random access procedure. For example, in some aspects, the configuration information may include a physical random access channel mask configuration based at least in part on a random access occasion density in a time and frequency domain in a cell served by the base station, a random access response configuration based at least in part on an indication transmitted from the UE to the base station, and/or the like. Accordingly, the UE may perform the random access procedure based at least in part on the configuration information, which may be indicated to the UE in system information, radio resource control signaling, and/or the like. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may receive one or more service data units (SDUs) at a layer two (L2) layer of the transmitting device. The transmitting device may encode, at the L2 layer, the one or more SDUs according to one or more network coding parameters to obtain at least one encoded protocol data unit (PDU), the one or more network coding parameters comprising a rateless code. The transmitting device may generate, for the at least one encoded PDU, at least one corresponding PDU header. The transmitting device may output the at least one encoded PDU and the at least one corresponding PDU header from the L2 layer to a lower layer of the transmitting device for transmission to one or more receiving devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may receive an encoded signal including a set of information blocks. Each information block may include a set of encoded information bits and a set of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits. The receiving device may perform a staircase decoding procedure to decode the set of encoded information bits of a selected information block that is part of a subset of the set of information blocks that is within a sliding window. The staircase decoding procedure may include one or more iterations of a decoding process applied to the subset of the set of information blocks. The receiving device may perform, inbetween iterations of the staircase decoding procedure applied to the subset of the set of information blocks within the sliding window, a CRC procedure based on the set of CRC bits in the set of information blocks.

Abstract: A power transmission line photonics-electronics converged long-distance monitoring device (10) and method.

Abstract: A method for the simulation of a circuit is disclosed. The method may include the determination of parasitic circuit elements, and the determination of one or more operational parameters dependent upon at least the parasitic circuit elements. A model of the parasitic circuit elements may then be generated based upon the one or more operational parameters. The circuit may then be simulated using the model of the parasitic circuit elements to determine a performance level of the circuit. At least one active circuit element may be modified in response to determining that the performance level does not meet a goal.
