  • Publication number: 20240141987
    Abstract: A method is proposed to complete a power-on upshift while a vehicle encounters wheel slip conditions such as driving in loose sand. The wheels slip conditions may be detected based on a maximum rate of change of an output shaft exceeding a threshold. In response to the wheel slip conditions, one or more shift parameters may be adjusted to bias the shift toward a tie-up and decrease the chance of a flare. These modified shift parameters may include an increased stroke pressure, a delayed off-going clutch release timing, and an increased ratio change capacity.

  • Patent number: 11960387
    Abstract: A sample ratio mismatch (SRM) analyzer receives data from an online controlled experiment (OCE) and provides information to help determine a root cause of an SRM. The SRM analyzer may identify one or more segments in the data that include an SRM and may determine whether a triggered scorecard of the OCE includes an SRM. The data may include one or more scorecards. The SRM analyzer may determine whether each scorecard has an SRM. The SRM analyzer may test a difference in proportion of users assigned to treatment between a last scorecard without an SRM and a first scorecard with an SRM. If the difference in proportion is statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM arose after the last scorecard. If the difference in proportions is not statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM existed from a beginning of the OCE.

  • Patent number: 11950286
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first wireless communications device may transmit, to one or more second wireless communications devices, a first message that triggers transmission of a second message by each of the one or more second wireless communications devices, the first message allocating to each of the one or more second wireless communications devices a respective frequency-based resource unit for transmission of the second message, each of the respective frequency-based resource units spanning a portion of a channel bandwidth of a channel. The first wireless communications device may perform channel sensing measurements on the second message received from each of the one or more second wireless communications devices. The first wireless communications device may estimate the channel based on the channel sensing measurements performed on the respective second messages received on the respective frequency-based resource units.

  • Publication number: 20240098670
    Abstract: A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.

  • Publication number: 20240091213
    Abstract: Provided herein are bifunctional compounds that bind tau protein and/or promote targeted ubiquitination for the degradation of tau protein. In particular, provided are compounds that can bind tau protein, a protein whose aggregation is implicated in a variety of neurodegenerative disease (e.g., tauopathies), and can promote its degradation by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., Cereblon), which can ubiquitinate tau protein, marking it for proteasomal degradation. Also provided are radiolabeled forms of the bifunctional compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, methods of detecting and/or diagnosing neurological disorders, methods of detecting and/or diagnosing pathological aggregation of tau protein (e.g., in the central nervous system), methods of treating and/or preventing neurological disorders, and methods of promoting the degradation of tau protein by E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in a subject by administering a compound or composition described herein.
