  • Patent number: 11229052
    Abstract: Methods and systems herein provide better downlink (DL) data throughput for cell-edge stations (CE STAs). The systems enable protection from a third-party collision during a wideband DL data transmission to the cell edge STA, when the wideband control frame, such as clear-to-send (CTS) or acknowledge (ACK), transmission from a cell edge STA cannot reach the AP. This process can be achieved by designing a new wideband control frame comprising: a legacy preamble sent over the primary 20 MHz channel that can be decoded by the legacy STAs, a new preamble sent over the primary 20 MHz channel that can be used to identify the new wideband control frame (this new preamble has the total signal bandwidth information for the rest of the packet following the new preamble); and duplicate legacy control packets set over the total bandwidth indicated in the new preamble (the legacy control packets can be decoded by the legacy STAs).

  • Patent number: 11227179
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, system and computer readable medium for video tracking. An exemplar crop is selected to be tracked in an initial frame of a video. Bayesian optimization is applied with each subsequent frame of the video by building a surrogate model of an objective function using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) based on similarity scores of candidate crops collected from a search space in a current frame of the video. A next candidate crop in the search space is determined using an acquisition function. The next candidate crop is compared to the exemplar crop using a Siamese neural network. Comparisons of new candidate crops to the exemplar crop are made using the Siamese neural network until the exemplar crop has been found in the current frame. The new candidate crops are selected based on an updated surrogate model.

    Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein provide one example of a system that includes processor circuitry and integrity circuitry. The processor circuitry is to receive a first request associated with an application to perform a memory access operation for an address range in a memory allocation of memory circuitry. The integrity circuitry is to determine a location of a metadata region within a cacheline that includes at least some of the address range, identify a first portion of the cacheline based at least in part on a first data bounds value stored in the metadata region, generate a first integrity value based on the first portion of the cacheline, and prevent the memory access operation in response to determining that the first integrity value does not correspond to a second integrity value stored in the metadata region.

    Abstract: Telemetry information in the form of platform telemetry, virtualization layer telemetry, and application telemetry can be used to estimate power consumption of a software entity, such as a virtual machine, container, application, or network slice. A controller can take various actions based on software entity power consumption information. If a power limit of an integrated circuit component is exceeded, the controller can reduce the power consumption of a software entity or move the software entity to another integrated circuit component to reduce the power consumption of the integrated circuit component. The controller can determine a total software entity power consumption for software entities associated with a user entity and take actions to keep the total software entity power consumption within a power budget.
