  • Patent number: 10683736
    Abstract: A method for recovering gas in natural gas hydrate exploitation is disclosed, in which a gas-water mixture at a bottom of a exploitation well is delivered to an ocean surface platform through a marine riser, by adopting the gas-lift effect of methane gas derived from the dissociation of natural gas hydrate, so as to achieve a controllable flowing production of marine natural gas hydrate. In the startup stage, the pressure in the bottom of the well is decreased by the gas-lift effect of the injected gas to allow dissociation of the hydrate. In the flowing production stage, the flowing production is achieved by the gas-lift effect of the gas derived from the dissociation of the natural gas hydrate, wherein a seafloor gas tank is employed to control the flowing rate and replenish the consumed gas.

  • Patent number: 10685001
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed are towards the transparent summarization of events. Queries directed towards summarizing and reporting on event records may be received at a search head. Search heads may be associated with one more indexers containing event records. The search head may forward the query to the indexers the can resolve the query for concurrent execution. If a query is a collection query, indexers may generate summarization information based on event records located on the indexers. Event record fields included in the summarization information may be determined based on terms included in the collection query. If a query is a stats query, each indexer may generate a partial result set from previously generated summarization information, returning the partial result sets to the search head. Collection queries may be saved and scheduled to run and periodically update the summarization information.

  • Publication number: 20200186303
    Abstract: The described techniques provide for the use of sub-band-specific reference signal precoding. A user equipment (UE) may apply multiple precoding matrices to a reference signal to generate a set of precoded reference signals and may transmit the precoded reference signals over respective sub-bands within a given reference signal resource set. In some cases, the UE may transmit a different set of precoded reference signals in each of multiple reference signal resource sets. Upon receiving the precoded reference signals, a base station may perform wideband channel estimation for each sub-band in the given reference signal resource set. The base station may compute an average spectral efficiency for each reference signal resource set and may transmit a report to the UE. The report may include one or more communication parameters for future communications between the UE and base station.

  • Patent number: 10678830
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated computer text classification and routing using artificial intelligence transfer learning. A server trains a word embedding model using one-hot vectors of word pairs from a filtered first corpus of unstructured computer text and a filtered second corpus of unstructured computer text, using an artificial intelligence neural network. The server trains a long short-term memory model using vector matrices that correspond to sentences in the filtered second corpus of unstructured computer text, and labels. The server receives a message, generates a matrix for each sentence in the message by applying the trained word embedding model, generates one or more labels, and a probability for each label, for each sentence in the message by applying the trained long short-term memory model, and routes the message to a second client computing device based upon an assigned label.

  • Publication number: 20200177253
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a first set of indexed timing offsets for determining offsets between uplink grants and uplink data transmissions and a second set of indexed timing offsets for determining offsets between an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) trigger and transmission of an aperiodic CSI report. A UE may receive both an uplink grant for an uplink data transmission and an aperiodic CSI report trigger. The UE may determine a timing offset for transmission of both the uplink data transmission and the aperiodic CSI report. The timing offset may be based at least in part on the first set of indexed timing offsets, the second set of indexed timing offsets, or a third set of indexed timing offsets for joint transmission of uplink data and aperiodic CSI. The UE may transmit the uplink data transmission and the aperiodic CSI report according to the timing offset.

  • Publication number: 20200178240
    Abstract: Reporting aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is disclosed. A UE receives a configuration to report aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) using physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UE can report lightweight A-CSI via short/long PUCCH or may report heavy A-CSI via short/long PUCCH. The UE receives a trigger signal for PUCCH-based A-CSI reporting either by a dedicated downlink grant or by a group common DCI. When triggered via a DCI-based trigger, the PUCCH resource can be either a resource used for HARQ-ACK feedback, e.g., short PUCCH; or a semi-static configured PUCCH resource, e.g., either short PUCCH or long PUCCH. When triggered via a group common DCI-based trigger, the PUCCH resource can be either semi-statically configured, or dynamically indicated.

  • Patent number: 10670416
    Abstract: An HD map system represents landmarks on a high definition map for autonomous vehicle navigation, including describing spatial location of lanes of a road and semantic information about each lane, and along with traffic signs and landmarks. The system generates lane lines designating lanes of roads based on, for example, mapping of camera image pixels with high probability of being on lane lines into a three-dimensional space, and locating/connecting center lines of the lane lines. The system builds a large connected network of lane elements and their connections as a lane element graph. The system also represents traffic signs based on camera images and detection and ranging sensor depth maps. These landmarks are used in building a high definition map that allows autonomous vehicles to safely navigate through their environments.

  • Publication number: 20200169364
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for communicating an uplink grant and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) trigger. A wireless device may identify e a pending collision for a slot of a carrier between a CSI-RS and uplink data. The wireless device may determine a communication configuration for the CSI-RS and the uplink data such that no collision occurs. The determined communication configuration for the CSI-RS may include delaying one of the colliding signals, transmitting only one of the colliding signals and suppressing the other, or reconfiguring the slot such that both signals can be transmitted successfully. Additionally, the UE and the base station may determine a CSI reporting configuration based on the determined communication configuration.
