Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate delivering standalone non-public network (SNPN) credentials from an enterprise authentication server to a user equipment (UE) using an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) process. In one example, a method may include determining, by an authentication server of an enterprise, that a UE for the enterprise is to receive credentials to enable the UE to connect to a SNPN of the enterprise in which the determining is performed based, at least in part, on connection of the UE to an access network that is different than the SNPN for the enterprise; and performing an authentication process with the UE by the authentication server in which the authentication process includes providing the credentials to the UE via a first authentication message and obtaining confirmation from the UE via a second authentication message that indicates successful provisioning of the credentials for the UE.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a controller for use in a private mobile network may determine network service requirements for an industrial device. The controller may select, from a set of network slices, a subset of network slices having network service requirement configurations that most closely support the network service requirements. Each network slice of the set may be associated with an affinity ranking value that is indicative of a service performance of the network slice for industrial device operation in a cell or a zone associated with a zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may identify, from the subset of network slices, a selected network slice associated with a best affinity ranking value for the zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may assign the selected network slice and associated service parameters for the communications of the industrial device.

Abstract: An embodiment system and method for dispensing multiple dairy products includes a dispenser which houses two or more dairy product bases with different formulations, which may be combined with or without water to create a multitude of homogenous dairy beverages. The two or more dairy product bases may be mixed together first and then separately mixed with water, mixed together simultaneously with water, or mixed together without adding water. They may be mixed together with or without additional flavoring, ingredients, mineral or nutritional additives. The dispenser comprises a pump with a quick-release mechanism to allow for quick and clean maintenance of the system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inspecting an object by optical triangulation, where the signal of interest in a captured image corresponds to an interaction between a light beam and an environment surrounding the object rather than between a light beam and the object itself. The surrounding environment may be configured to interact in a manner that is detectable by filling it with a flowable scattering medium, e.g. a gas, mist or vapour comprising a suspension of fine particles in air. Light that is scattered by the flowable scattering medium is visible in a captured image. Where the flowable scattering medium is not present, e.g. because the object blocks it, the scattered signal is less. A boundary of a scattered signal region may thus provide information about the location of an object.

Abstract: An approach to automatically provision a data service name (APN or DNN) when an endpoint device connects to a mobile network is described. A methodology includes receiving from an endpoint device a first request to connect to a mobile network, the first request including an identifier of the endpoint device and a default data service name, responsive to detecting the default data service name, determining, from the identifier of the endpoint device, a group to which the endpoint device belongs along with a corresponding group identifier for the group, querying a repository with the group identifier, and receiving, in response, an assigned data service name that is associated with the group identifier, providing the assigned data service name to the endpoint device, and receiving from the endpoint device a second request to connect to the mobile network, the second request including the assigned data service name.

Abstract: A method of maintaining a pressure input path in a sensing array is described. The sensing array comprises a plurality of sensing elements, and the method involves activating a first sensing element to determine a first location data point and activating a second sensing element to determine a second location data point. The state location (x,y) and state velocity (Vx, Vy) are calculated based on the first and second location data points to create a state vector. A predicted path of further location data points is determined from the state vector to avoid drop out problems with pressure inputs.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for authentication and subscription management that are decoupled from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS).
