Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, devices use machine learning (ML) models to support wireless communications. For example, a user equipment (UE) may download ML model information from a network to determine an ML model. The network may additionally configure a status reporting procedure, a fallback procedure, or both for the ML model. In some examples, based on a configuration, the UE may transmit a status report to a base station according to a reporting periodicity, a UE-based trigger, a network-based trigger, or some combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine to fallback from operating using the ML model to operating in a second mode based on a fallback trigger. In some examples, to restore operating using a downloaded ML model, the UE may download an updated ML model or receive iterative updates to a previously downloaded ML model.

Abstract: A configuration for reporting OOD samples for neural network optimization. The apparatus receives, from a base station, a configuration to report an OOD dataset for a machine learning model. The apparatus detects an occurrence of one or more OOD events.

Abstract: There is disclosed a direct fuel cell comprising an anode and a cathode immersed in an electrolyte in the presence of a reductant and oxidant. Specifically, the fuel cell lacks a permselective membrane or other chemical barrier between the anode and cathode. Instead, the fuel cell has a mechanical/electrical porous separator that permits the free diffusion of liquid between all elements of the fuel cell. The fuel cell further contains an anode electrode of conductive substrate with catalyst and a cathode comprising a hydrophobic coated material that prevents cathode flooding. As a result, oxidation of the anode fuel and reduction of the cathode fuel occur to a substantial extent only at the anode and cathode, respectively, and is capable for ambient pressure/temperature and passive operation.

Abstract: A method and system for counteracting performance deterioration in an electrochemical fuel cell includes passive re-activation, active re-activation, or both. Active re-activation includes intermittently applying positive voltage electrical pulse across the anode. The positive voltage applied is less than that required for decomposition of water. Passive re-activation includes interposing a resistive load between the anode and the cathode while fuel stream flow to the anode is interrupted. The resistive load increases voltage potential at the anode to less than that required for oxidation of carbon.
