Abstract: A method of managing wireless communication between electronic devices includes, at a first electronic device, transmitting a first downlink transmission from the first electronic device to a second electronic device and receiving a first response from the second electronic device at the first electronic device, wherein the first response includes a downlink channel quality information (CQI). The method further includes determining a per-subcarrier CQI based at least partially on the downlink CQI and determining an output modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based at least partially on the per-subcarrier CQI. After determining the output MCS, the method includes selecting a selected MCS based at least partially on the output MCS and setting an MCS of the first electronic device to the selected MCS.

Abstract: Techniques for performing fine-grained mixed precision quantization for an ML model are disclosed. A quantizable operation is identified. This quantizable operation is partitioned into multiple sub-operations having multiple different precision data formats. One or more kernels are generated. These kernel(s) are tasked with simultaneously executing the sub-operations. Consequently, the first sub-operation, which has the first precision data format, is executed simultaneously with the second sub-operation, which has the second, different precision data format.

Abstract: Methods and devices configure edge nodes of a virtual network overlay to continuously forward data plane traffic flows between client devices of a common subnet over the course of at least some of the edge nodes being EF-configured. TF-configured edge nodes and EF-configured edge nodes both play roles in unilaterally inducing address discovery by sending to client devices address discovery responses that were not prompted by address discovery requests. TF-configured edge nodes then handle ensuing address discovery requests by proxy, and subsequently handle certain traffic flows according to an EF-compatible forwarding mode, while EF-configured edge nodes continue to forward traffic flows by IP routing normally. This averts throughput of data plane traffic over the network overlay being reduced as a side effect of the heterogeneously configured edge nodes, and averts the possibility of client devices broadcasting address discovery protocol requests as a result of remote client devices being unreachable.

Abstract: An adaptable spacer roping installation method includes providing a robot for positioning adjacent a palletizing surface, and a rope-positioning bar for positioning adjacent the palletizing surface. The robot is equipped with a tool head that allows receiving and dispensing a plurality of ropes from different dispensing positions along the tool head. The rope-positioning bar includes at least a same number of grippers than the number of dispensing positions along the tool head. The grippers are so positioned along the rope-positioning bar to allow grippers thereon gripping in unison the plurality of ropes dispensed by the tool head. The robot is moved from a first position, wherein the tool head is so positioned relative to the rope-positioning bar that each of the dispensing positions is registered and adjacent one of the grippers, to a second position, wherein the tool head is positioned distanced from the rope-positioning bar, parallel thereto, above the palletizing surface.

Abstract: A surface inspection apparatus comprises a camera, an actuator apparatus for displacing the camera relative to a surface to be inspected; a first light source mounted to the actuator apparatus for joint displacement with the camera; and a second light source arranged so that an angle in which optical axes of the first and second light sources intersect is non-zero.

Abstract: The present technology has the ability to establish connections between content that do not have direct or explicit relationships. Implicit influence relationships can be established from user download sequence data, campaign data with keyword targeting, and content review data that mentions other content. Using these influence relationships, the relevance of content items can be determined based on the influence relationship of linked content items and a similarity relationship of content items. However, the importance of the influence relationship in ranking content items can vary depending on the parameters against which the content item is considered relevant. To address this, the present technology includes a context-driven factor that is used as a weight to adjust the impact of the influence relationship of the ranking, depending on the parameters against which the content item is considered relevant.

Abstract: Updating and/or optimizing a dental treatment plan can include obtaining a first tooth geometry from a first dental scan. The methods and apparatuses described herein may also include obtaining a second tooth geometry from a second dental scan performed subsequent to the first dental scan. Tooth geometry features from both dental scans may be used to determine corresponding (matching) teeth. Determined positions of the matching teeth can enable treatment plan updating and/or optimizing.

Abstract: Network nodes and methods for control thereof for dynamic network slice selection. An AMF receives a UE request originating from the UE, the UE request being any one of a registration request and a session request. A network slice requester controls a transmitter to transmit a network slice selection request to a PC_NSS. A selection data manager of the PC_NSS determines selection data specifying one or more UE specific parameters affecting network slice selection. A network slice selector selects a network slice assignable for the UE, based on the selection data, determines network slice data and a corresponding network slice routing rule, and transmits them to the AMF. A network slice manager of the AMF controls assignment of a network slice to the UE in dependence on the received network slice data and network slice routing rule.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can perform operations to revert various applications to prior states that the applications may have arrived at via certain user inputs. The user can provide a spoken utterance such as, “undo,” in order to cause the automated assistant to identify a particular application that the user may want to affect with the “undo” command. When the particular application is identified, the automated assistant can identify one or more operations recently performed using the particular application. In some implementations, the automated assistant can provide the user with a variety of undo options in response to an “undo” command. For instance, the automated assistant can prompt the user to select one of a first cluster of operations and/or a second cluster of operations to be undone, and each cluster can refer to different operations.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for facilitating system user interface (UI) interactions in an artificial reality (XR) environment is provided. The method includes rendering the system UI in the XR environment as a 3D virtual element. The method further includes tracking a position of a hand of a user and a pre-defined stable point on the user. The method further includes identifying, based on the tracking, that the hand has grasped a portion of the system UI and, in response, rotating the position of the system UI around the grasped portion of the system UI such that a line, between the stable point and the surface of the system UI, is moved, to be perpendicular or at a predefined angle from perpendicular to the surface of the system UI, as the user moves the system UI via the grasped portion.

Abstract: An optical coherence tomography scanning system traverses its respective scan pattern quickly, typically completing an entire two-dimensional frame faster than a conventional raster scanner completes one raster line segment. To traverse the scan pattern quickly, the system takes fewer A-scans per length of scan pattern than a conventional OCT scanner. To compensate for the sparsity of the sample points along the respective scan line segments, and for gaps between respective line segments of the trajectory, the system acquires and combines several partially overlapping frames for each study to generate a dense OCT image. A visible light camera captures an image for each traversal of the scan pattern, but only a predetermined subset of pixels in the visible light image, which correspond to locations on the anatomical item interrogated by a sample arm of the OCT, are used to color corresponding pixels in the dense OCT image.
