  • Publication number: 20220067621
    Abstract: There are provided various systems for performing tasks associated with IPR procurement. The systems employ a computing architecture that is operable to provide characteristics of artificial intelligence. The computing architecture employs a configuration of pseudo-analog variable-state machines that is implemented by disposing the pseudo-analog variable-state machines in a hierarchical arrangement, wherein pseudo-analog variable-state machines higher in the hierarchical arrangement are operable to mimic behavior of a human claustrum for performing higher cognitive functions when processing information associated with one or more service requests and for performing quality checking of the one or more work products. Moreover, the computing architecture is susceptible to being implemented by employing a novel configuration of data processing devices.

  • Patent number: 9071988
    Abstract: Apparatus, computer program products and methods allow inclusion and segmentation of multiple SDUs within a PDU, and generate information (such as header information) necessary to identify, e.g., the position of the segmented SDUs within the PDU. Prior knowledge of the typically used (i.e., predetermined) SDU size is used to perform segmentation operations, hi one exemplary variant, apparatus, methods and computer program products determine if a particular one of a set of input data units (SDUs) is to be segmented in order to fit a portion of the set, including a segment of the particular input data unit, into an output data unit (PDU); segment the input data unit in response to determining the particular input data unit is to be segmented; add the portion of the set to a data portion of the output data unit, and add into the output data unit an indication of a position of the segment in the data portion.

  • Patent number: 8594748
    Abstract: An apparatus detects, over multiple transfers, an amount of data transferred to/from a network per transfer and/or an amount of time elapsed between transfers; and based at least on the detecting, the apparatus decides whether to trigger an early release from the network in order to at least reduce power consumption in the apparatus, where the decision is made in consideration of at least one configuration aspect of the network. In specific embodiments, the decision is made in consideration of availability and/or suitability of the power saving feature and configuration support in the network, which may be re-detected periodically; re-detection occurs after cell mobility, and/or network access element mobility and/or network control element mobility. An amount of useful data transfer per length of each connection for recent transfers can trigger the decision. Deactivating an early release may be based only on an amount of time that elapses between the transfers.

  • Patent number: 8550704
    Abstract: A method of detecting an omission to fill an automobile differential housing with fluid in the course of an assembly procedure is carried out using an infrared sensor to read differential housing temperature. The camera produces an electrical signal that is processed to provide an indication as to whether or not the differential housing has been properly filled. An infrared sensing camera is the preferred thermal detector.

  • Publication number: 20060252430
    Abstract: User Equipment (UE) in receipt of a session start signal indicating a session frequency to use for a session along with other user equipment uses the session frequency until a session stop message is received and then changes to a frequency selected to avoid subsequent use of a same frequency used by the other user equipment. For instance, when the UE receives a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) session start signal and it contains a preferred frequency, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE could store the frequency of the serving cell for later reference. The UE then converges to the preferred frequency for the duration of the session. When the UE receives a session stop, RRC layer retrieves the previously stored information about the pre-session frequency and requests the physical layer (L1) to select a cell on the frequency where it was previously camped on.

  • Patent number: 5172686
    Abstract: A device for supplying air or medical gases in a conditioned, particularly a moistened and/or heated state to a patient, through an air pipe. The device includes at least one component to be connected to said air pipe, the component being formed by a cylinder-shaped element with an inner tube through which the moistened air flows, which cylinder-shaped element is fitted with self-regulating heating resistors which heat the air flowing through the tube, while the cylinder-shaped tube from one element at least is filled with a material which adsorbs or absorbs the water supplied by a water-supply line from a container, and has a good air-permeability.
