Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An application and an accelerator associated with a distributed unit (DU) may be configured to identify context information comprising a first identifier associated with the accelerator of the DU, a second identifier associated with the application, a third identifier associated with a profile instance associated with the accelerator, a fourth identifier associated with a radio unit associated with the DU, or any combination thereof, and exchange messages with the one another based on the identified context information.

Abstract: A laminar phased array has a first sub-array configured to operate in one of a receive mode with a first polarity and a transmit mode with a second polarity, and a second sub-array configured to operate in one of a receive mode with the second polarity and a transmit mode with the first polarity. The first polarity is physically orthogonal to the second polarity. The array also has a controller configured to control the first and second sub-arrays so that they operate together in either 1) a receive mode or 2) a transit mode. Accordingly, both sub-arrays are configured to operate at the same time to receive signals in the first and second polarities when in the receive mode. In a corresponding manner, both sub-arrays are configured to operate at the same time to transmit signals in the first and second polarities when in the transmit mode.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for determining the presence of coronavirus neutralizing antibodies in a sample as well as associated compositions and kits. The methods of the disclosure use recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) particles, wherein the VSV glycoprotein (G) is replaced by a coronavirus spike (S) glycoprotein or a fragment or a derivative thereof. In a specific embodiment, the S glycoprotein is derived from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the methods are used for determining the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.

Abstract: A phased array includes a laminar substrate having both 1) a plurality of elements forming a patch phased array, and 2) a plurality of integrated circuits. Each integrated circuit is configured to control receipt and transmission of signals by the plurality of elements in the patch phased array. The integrated circuits also are configured to operate the phased array at one or more satellite frequencies—to transmit signals to and/or receive signals from a satellite. Each integrated circuit physically couples with one corresponding element so that incoming signals are received by the corresponding element in a first polarization, and outgoing signals are transmitted by the corresponding element in a second polarization. The phased array isolates the transmit signals from the receive signals by orienting the first and second polarizations differently.

Abstract: An originating User Services Platform (USP) endpoint segments a payload representing a USP message into smaller segments (also referred to as “fragments” or “chunks”) for transmission of the payload through intermediate proxies having different message size constraints. Upon receipt, a receiving USP endpoint reassembles the smaller segments to recover the payload representing the USP message.

Abstract: A User Services Platform endpoint determines that applicable services are available for a connected device attached to a local network based on a neighbor discovery protocol message from the connected device; and outputs a User Services Platform device notification message to a User Services Platform endpoint associated with the local network. A User Services Platform administrative authority endpoint device determines an applicable service for a connected device based on a User Services Platform message identifying the connected device; provisions service elements for the applicable service to a User Services Platform endpoint associated with the applicable service and the connected device, the service elements enabling the User Services Platform endpoint to implement the applicable service in association with the connected device; and receives notification that the service elements for the applicable service have been provisioned at the User Services Platform endpoint.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a plurality of antenna elements forming an antenna array. The apparatus may further include a beamformer that determines one or more of phase and amplitude shifts to cause the plurality of antenna elements to produce a beam in the direction of a target. The apparatus may further include a null limiter comprising dither circuits. The dither circuits may dither the one or more of phase and amplitude shifts by adding noise to cause a side lobe of the beam to increase above a threshold value. The dither circuits may be enabled by a control signal, and the dithered one or more of phase and amplitude shifts may be provided to the antenna elements to produce the beam in the direction of the target with the side lobes above the threshold value.

A method of managing a ZigBee network is also provided.
