  • Publication number: 20240422511
    Abstract: A method performed by an anchor wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) having an Extended Reality (XR) application includes transmitting to a base station (BS) a request for a candidate set of collaborative WTRUs, the request including pose information to identify the candidate set of collaborative WTRUs, receiving from the BS a first set of collaborative WTRUs, determining, by the anchor WTRU, a second set of WTRUs from the first set of WTRUs that align with at least one of a Field of View (FoV) requirement, the pose information, and XR application parameters of the anchor WTRU, and transmitting, to the BS, an indication of the second set of WTRUs as selected collaborative WTRUs.

  • Publication number: 20240422621
    Abstract: Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products are described for the synchronization of multiple traffic flows of information such as protocol data unit (PDU) flows associated with applications and/or services. In an example embodiment, a device may receive one or more forwarding configurations to use when transmitting data in multiple flows. The forwarding configurations may lead to synchronized transmission of the multiple flows such that a delay between a (e.g., last or latest) PDU in a first flow and a (e.g., last or latest) PDU in a second flow satisfies one or more parameters, such as different expected time of arrival threshold values. In some embodiments, PDUs may be associated with an application data unit (ADU) in the first flow and an ADU in the second flow.

  • Patent number: 11833313
    Abstract: System for monitoring and regulating plant productivity comprising: a memory for storing instructions; a processor for executing the instructions to cause a method of monitoring and regulating plant productivity to be performed, the method comprising: receiving field data from monitoring sensors; computing, by the at least one processor executing a machine learning algorithm, a predicted value for a variable associated with the production environment condition of a crop field, the machine learning algorithm having been trained based on a training set comprising one or both of (a) the field data from the monitoring sensors, and (b) a generated feature derived from the field data; and determining, based on a threshold associated with the variable, that the predicted value for the variable indicates that an intervention in the crop field is to be initiated; and in response to the determining, causing a controllable device to vary the production environment condition.

  • Patent number: 11805740
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method and system for regulating plant irrigation at a crop field. The method comprises obtaining soil water tension (SWT) data and/or soil water content (SWC) data corresponding to a crop field. The SWT data and/or the SWC data is segmented into three segments. A respective line of best fit is determined for each of the three segments. The intercepts of the lines of best fit are used to determine an irrigation start threshold and an irrigation stop threshold. Devices that control irrigation for the crop field are caused to start or stop irrigation based on the irrigation start threshold and irrigation stop threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220397509
    Abstract: The present technology generally relates to a porous medium parameter measurement device comprising one or more component selected from: a porous conductive component; a porous non-conductive component; and a selective component. The one or more component is in operative communication with each one of the one or more component and with a porous medium through a plurality of pores allowing a porous medium solution to reach diffusion equilibrium between the porous medium and each of the one or more component. The one or more component allows direct measurement of a multiplicity of parameters of the porous medium solution.

  • Publication number: 20220183701
    Abstract: To address technical problems facing knee arthroplasty resection validation, the present subject matter provides a tracked knee arthroplasty instrument for objective measurement of resection depth. By performing a precise comparison between the location of the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument and a reference location, the knee arthroplasty instrument measures and validates each tibial and femoral resection. To address technical problems facing validation of joint laxity following knee arthroplasty, the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is shaped to validate the flexion gap and extension gap. When the tracked knee arthroplasty instrument is inserted between the resected tibial plateau and femoral head, the instrument shape validates whether the desired flexion gap and extension gap have been achieved.

  • Publication number: 20170314259
    Abstract: A soundproof underlayment membrane is disclosed. The membrane comprises a main layer having a given thickness made of a flexible material and a plurality of points extending from one of the surfaces of the main layer. The points are located on the surface in order to create an absorbing chamber between the main layer and an adjacent surface on which the membrane is placed, while reducing a surface of contact between floor coverings installed on the membrane and the adjacent surface. By combining at least two different structural elements, the membrane is particularly efficient for sound reduction in a construction such as the impact or structure borne noise (Impact Insulation Class—IIC) and the sound transmission or airborne sound (Sound Transmission Class—SCC). Compared to existing membranes in the fields, the present invention provides a light material, easy to manufacture, ship and install, while providing effective soundproof properties.

  • Publication number: 20160195657
    Abstract: While gold wire grids have been used to polarize infrared wavelengths for over a hundred years, they are not appropriate for shorter wavelengths due to their large period. With embodiments of the present invention, grids with periods a few tens of nanometers can be fabricated. Among other things, such grids can be used to polarize visible and even ultraviolet light. As a result, such wire grid polarizers have a wide variety of applications and uses, such as, e.g., in the fabrication of semiconductors, nanolithography, and more.
