Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling the protection of user privacy when adding a virtual assistant to a conference. A conference is initiated between a first computing device and at least a second computing device and a virtual assistant is added to the conference. At the virtual assistant, it is identified that the virtual assistant is in the conference and a guest mode is activated in response.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may monitor consumer information in order to determine a probability of a data breach associated with a customer based on an online presence of the customer. The probability of a data breach may be used to present metrics to a consumer and/or a service provider. Further, the consumer may be presented with information indicating what factors contribute to the probability of a data breach, as well as information regarding how to reduce those factors.

Abstract: A display panel and a display device are disclosed. By setting numbers of effective pulses of first start signals in both a writing frame and a holding frame of one display period to be plural, a plurality of first strobe driving circuits connected in cascade are allowed to output a plurality of first strobe signals multiple times to adjust a bias voltage of a first transistor of a plurality of pixel driving circuits. Therefore, the display panel can display at a similar light-emitting brightness in both the writing frame and the holding frame, thereby improving a flickering problem of the display panel.

Abstract: Precipitation or scaling may occur when combining produced water from multiple sources, such as when one produced water contains dissolved calcium ions and another produced water contains dissolved sulfate anions. The tendency toward precipitation or scaling may be decreased by treating the produced water containing dissolved sulfate anions. Such methods may comprise: providing a first produced water comprising dissolved sulfate anions; treating the first produced water with a metal salt capable of forming an insoluble metal sulfate, thereby forming a metal sulfate precipitate and a treated produced water; separating the metal sulfate precipitate from the treated produced water; and after separating the metal sulfate precipitate, mixing the treated produced water with at least one second produced water to obtain a mixed produced water, the at least one second produced water containing dissolved calcium ions, and the mixed produced water having a saturation ratio for calcium sulfate of less than 1.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display control method of a display panel, a display module, and a display device. Pulse widths of first pulses corresponding to non-display phases in one frame period in an emission start signal are at least partially different, so that pixel driving circuits adjust light-emitting durations of light-emitting devices corresponding to each display phase according to emission control signals. Accordingly, a display brightness of each light-emitting device can be adjusted within one frame period, and a flickering problem can be alleviated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for frame rate scalability are described. Support is provided for input and output video sequences with variable frame rate and variable shutter angle across scenes, or for input video sequences with fixed input frame rate and input shutter angle, but allowing a decoder to generate a video output at a different output frame rate and shutter angle than the corresponding input values. Techniques allowing a decoder to decode more computationally-efficiently a specific backward compatible target frame rate and shutter angle among those allowed are also presented.

Exemplary use cases include all forms of cloud gaming including cloud-enabled interactive sporting events, e-sports, fantasy sports, gaming, and enhancements. Improvements in performance and experience are achieved with at least one of an extreme low latency rate controller, an extreme low latency rate controller method, frame partitioning at scene changes, preventive (relatively early) termination of encoding at scene changes, interactive signaling between a decoder and an encoder, or interactive signaling. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A UE obtains a channel occupancy time (COT) for a set of resources on a sidelink (SL) in an unlicensed spectrum through a channel access procedure. The UE determines whether a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) transmission scheme is utilized for a SL transmission on the sidelink in the COT. The UE selects a cyclic prefix extension (CPE) starting position prior to an initial symbol containing the SL transmission. The UE selects the default CPE starting position as the CPE starting position when the FDM transmission scheme is utilized. The UE randomly selects the CPE starting position from a subset of a set of all candidate CPE starting positions based on an L1 priority of the SL transmission when the FDM transmission scheme is not utilized. The UE transmits a CPE at the selected CPE starting position and performs the SL transmission after the CPE transmission.

Information can be collected from the individual's phone, including the person's location, the type of road, ambient noise, and/or motion of nearby objects. If it is determined that the individual likely needs roadside assistance, the system can proactively contact the individual to see if roadside assistance is desired, and if so, initiates roadside assistance. The system also can provide helpful information, such as safety information, and/or automatically contact other individuals to alert them of the roadside event and the location of the individual.

The UE maps the N S-SSBs into N sets of resources in which two adjacent sets are separated by the gap. The N sets of resources overlap in time domain. The UE performs the N transmissions of the S-SSB using the N sets of resources.
