  • Patent number: 11968700
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing network access services to mobile users via mobile terminals over a satellite system. In embodiments, dynamic multiplexing of traffic from fixed terminals and mobile users on the same satellite beam can take advantage of statistical multiplexing of large numbers of users and on different usage patterns between fixed terminals and mobile users. In embodiments, quality-of-service (QoS) is controlled for mobile devices at a per-user level. Mobile users may be provisioned on the satellite system according to a set of traffic policies based on their service level agreement (SLA). System resources of the satellite may be allocated to mobile users based on the demand of each mobile user and the set of traffic polices associated with each mobile user, regardless of which mobile terminal is used to access the system.

  • Publication number: 20240129259
    Abstract: A durability assessment system may receive a request, from a computing system, for a durability index describing an entity. The durability assessment system may determine the durability index based on information about the resource usage by the entity, such as a resource availability score or a resource allocation score. The durability assessment system may compare the obtained resource availability score and resource allocation score to ranges associated with a set of durability indices. Based on the comparison, the durability assessment system may determine a durability index for the entity. The durability index may indicate an ability of the entity to return accessed resources. In some cases, the durability assessment system may provide the durability index to an allocation computing system that is configured to determine whether to grant access to resources based on the durability index.

  • Publication number: 20230237361
    Abstract: The is provided a computer-implemented method for generating a quantum circuit from a Unitary Coupled Cluster (UCC) Ansatz, wherein the Ansatz represents an excitation of a reference state by a parameterised operator including excitation operators, and wherein the Ansatz includes multi-qubit Pauli operators that are determined from each excitation operator. The method comprises: partitioning the Pauli operators into mutually commuting sets and sequencing the Pauli operators by set; generating Pauli gadgets from the Pauli operators by Trotterization, wherein the Pauli gadgets have a same sequencing by set as the Pauli operators; diagonalising each set of Pauli gadgets to convert the Pauli gadgets into phase gadgets; and transforming the phase gadgets into one- and two-qubit native gates to generate the quantum circuit. Moreover, there is also provided a system that is configured to implement the method.

  • Publication number: 20220375463
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for integrating speech-to-text transcription in a productivity application are presented. A request to access a real-time speech-to-text transcription of an audio signal that is being received by a second device is sent by a first device. The real-time speech-to-text transcription may be surfaced in a transcription pane of a productivity application on the first device. A request to translate the transcription to a different language may be received. The transcription may be translated in real-time and surfaced in the transcription pane. A selection of a word in the surfaced transcription may be received. A request to drag the word from the transcription pane and drop it in a window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane may be received. The word may be surfaced in the window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane.
