Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises generating, by a computing device from first and second images of a projected pattern of laser dots detected by respective camera devices in a physical environment, a stereoscopic two-dimensional (2D) object pair based on determining 2D positions for each of the laser dots detected in the first and second images, creating a first mesh of geometric patterns from the 2D positions in the first image and a corresponding second mesh of the geometric patterns from the 2D positions in the second image, and creating the stereoscopic 2D object pair based on matching corresponding geometric patterns from the first and second meshes of the geometric patterns. A three-dimensional model (3D) of the physical environment is generated based on executing stereoscopic triangulation of the stereoscopic 2D object pair. The 3D model causes a controllable device to interact with the physical environment.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes receiving, at a medium access control (MAC) entity, protocol data units (PDUs) corresponding to one or more Internet protocol (IP) flows, routing the PDUs from the MAC entity to respective radio link control (RLC) entities based on a logical channel prioritization, and forwarding the PDUs from respective RLC entities to one or more packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entities mapped to each RLC entity. Another method includes receiving, at a protocol layer entity above an RLC layer of a transmitting device, a PDU, labeling the PDU with a unique PDCP instance identifier packet, and passing the PDU to a protocol layer entity below the PDCP layer of the transmitting device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A user equipment (UE), for example, may determine a content size of an uncompressed buffer and a content size of a compressed buffer. The UE may then generate a buffer status report (BSR) based on the content sizes of the uncompressed buffer and the compressed buffer. Alternatively, a base station may receive a BSR based on a size of an uncompressed buffer of the UE. The base station may then receive a compressed packet from the UE and may determine a compression gain based on a size of the compressed packet and a size of a corresponding uncompressed packet. The base station may then adjust the received BSR based on the compression gain.

Abstract: A Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) method is disclosed including a computer receiving an input file having a file format configured with a structured storage. The computer disassembles the structured storage into at least one subfile. Each subfile is a stream subfile. For each subfile, the computer identifies an item in the stream subfile. The computer analyzes the item in the stream subfile for an unwanted behavior by determining an acceptability of the unwanted behavior, distinguishing a visibility of the item, and recognizing a necessity of the item. The computer, based on a result of the analyzing step, processes the item in the stream subfile resulting in a processed subfile. The computer assembles the processed subfiles into an output file having the same file format as the file format as the input file.
