Abstract: Location services for a user equipment (UE) are supported with a Network Exposure Function (NEF) serving as a focal point for any location request. An entity that needs the location of the UE sends a location request to the NEF in the home PLMN or Visited PLMN for the UE. The location request includes, e.g., a type of location request, a required location accuracy, a required response time or some combination of these. The NEF determines whether to use a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) or a serving Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for the UE to obtain the UE location based on the content of the location request and sends the location request to the GMLC or serving AMF accordingly. Additionally, if the serving AMF is used, a serving base station may obtain the UE location and send the UE location to the serving AMF.

Abstract: Generally, management of refrigerant in an evaporator of an HVAC chiller is described. Methods, systems, and apparatuses to manage refrigerant in an evaporator can include one or combination of the following approaches: (1) by use of a refrigerant displacement array to physically prevent refrigerant from residing where the array is positioned; (2) by control of the interstitial velocity of refrigerant flow within the volume of the shell of an evaporator; (3) by a phase biased distribution of the refrigerant mixture, so that a gaseous portion is uniformly distributed into the evaporator shell, while liquid refrigerant and oil is distributed into the evaporator shell at a designated area; and (4) by preventing or reducing the occurrence of foaming inside the evaporator through anti-foaming surfaces, such as by the use of refrigerant phobic and lubricant phobic material(s). Refrigerant management can in turn improve the thermal performance and overall efficiency of the evaporator.

The present invention further relates to a manufacturing process for preparing an article, particularly a molded article, from a fiber-reinforced composite material comprising a rapid-curing resin formulation.

Abstract: A livestock head holder for a head gate features a top holding member, a bottom holding member and an intermediate link connecting same, of which the intermediate link occupies an over-centered locking position in a fully open state of the head holder to prevent gravitational dropping of the top holding member. The head holder is infinitely adjustable in its installed height on the head gate, via use of tightenable clamps that engage through a slot between bars of a skeletal gate panel to make clamping embrace against a rear side of the head gate bars at any user-selectable heigh along the slot therebetween.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to the efficient generation of synthetic datasets that represent many-to-many relationships. In particular, certain embodiments implement a particular factorization for many-to-many generative models, which leads to a scalable generation framework by combining random graph theory and representation learning. Further embodiments we extend the framework to establish the notion of differential privacy within the synthetically generated data. The embodiments described herein are therefore able to generate synthetic datasets efficiently while preserving information within and across many-to-many datasets with improved accuracy.

Abstract: Temporary access to a digital whiteboard is enabled for conference participants during a conference (e.g., a video conference). Based on a request to share a digital whiteboard with conference participants during a conference, ones of the conference participants to which to grant temporary access permissions for the digital whiteboard are determined. The temporary access permissions are granted to enable the ones of the conference participants to access the digital whiteboard during the conference. Based on an event occurrence, which may, for example, correspond to a termination of the conference or a disconnection of an owner of the digital whiteboard from the conference, the temporary access permissions are revoked to restrict further access to the digital whiteboard by the ones of the conference participants.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for transmitting Positioning Reference Signals (PRSs) in cells supporting two different Radio Access Technologies (RATs), where the two RATs (e.g. 4G LTE and 5G NR) employ dynamic spectrum sharing. To avoid interference between the PRSs and between the two RATs, the PRSs may be time aligned to the same set of PRS positioning occasions, and may be assigned orthogonal characteristics such as different muting patterns, orthogonal code sequences, different frequency shifts or different frequency hopping. UEs supporting both RATs may be enabled to measure PRSs for both RATs. UEs supporting only one RAT (e.g. 4G LTE) may be enabled to measure PRSs for just this RAT. A location server such as an LMF, E-SMLC or SLP may provide assistance data to UEs, and request measurements from UEs, for PRSs in one or both RATs.
