    摘要: An apparatus which is able to communicate based on at least two communication methods, wherein each communication method is configured to communicate with access networks by using at least one subflow, acquires (S41) information from at least one of the communication methods for at least one of the subflows and provides (S42) the information to a subflow control entity at a higher layer of the apparatus. Based on the information, the subflow control entity evaluates (S43) whether a change will occur in the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to occur in the at least one of the subflows, the subflow control entity evaluates (S44) when the change will occur, and evaluates (S45) whether the change evaluated to occur impacts a specific requirement of delivering packets by using the at least one of the subflows. In case the change is evaluated to impact the specific requirement, the subflow control entity changes (S46) usage of the subflows for delivering packets.

    摘要: Various example embodiments for supporting communications for a network (e.g., a local area network (LAN), a virtual LAN (VLAN), or the like) based on use of an identifier of the network are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting communications for a VLAN based on use of a VLAN identifier (VID) of the VLAN are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting communications of a VLAN based on use of a VID of the VLAN may be configured to support use of a variable sized encoding of the VID (denoted herein as an xVID). Various example embodiments for supporting communications of a VLAN based on use of an xVID for the VLAN may be configured to support use of an xVID that is encoded using a set of fixed-sized identifier units where a number of fixed-sized identifier units used to encode the VID in the xVID is based on the VID.

    摘要: An example computing device is provided. The computing device includes a video camera, a privacy shutter, and a processor communicatively coupled to the video camera. The video camera is to capture an image of a user. The privacy shutter is movably coupled to the video camera to move between an open position and a closed position. The processor is to activate the video camera when a video conference call application is executed, detect that the privacy shutter is in the closed position when the video camera is activated, and replace a blank screen caused by the privacy shutter in the closed position with a background image in response to detection of the privacy shutter in the closed position.

    摘要: In example implementations, a method is provided. The method includes determining, by a processor, that a vehicle is approaching a door of a building based on a velocity vector of the vehicle, calculating, by the processor, a time of arrival of the vehicle at the door based on the velocity vector of the vehicle and a distance of the vehicle from the door, and controlling, by the processor, the door to begin opening at a time based on the time of arrival and an amount of time for the door to open such that the door is opened when the vehicle arrives at the door.

    摘要: Various example embodiments for supporting packet forwarding in communication networks are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting packet forwarding in communication networks may be configured to support forwarding of source routed packets in packet switched networks based on flexible path encoding. Various example embodiments for supporting forwarding of a source routed packet based on flexible path encoding may be configured to support forwarding of the source routed packets based on use of a bit string configured to encode the path for the source routed packet. Various example embodiments for supporting forwarding of source routed packets based on flexible path encoding may be configured to support forwarding of source routed packets based on various types of source routing, such as Segment Routing (SR), SR-Traffic Engineering (SR-TE), or the like.

    摘要: In example implementations, a display is provided. The display includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a color filter (CF) substrate, and a controller. The TFT substrate is formed over the LEDs to control emission of light from the plurality of LEDs. The liquid crystal layer is formed over the TFT substrate. The CF substrate is formed over the liquid crystal layer to control a color of the light emitted from the plurality of LEDs. The controller is communicatively coupled to the plurality of LEDs to group subsets of LEDs of the plurality of LEDs into a plurality of local dimming zones, wherein the subsets of LEDs in each one of the plurality of local dimming zones changes over time.

    摘要: In example implementations, a door monitoring sensor is provided. The door monitoring sensor includes a communication interface to transmit an alarm when a door operates outside of operational parameters of the door, an angular sensor to measure rotational movement of the a door, a movement sensor to detect movement along an x-y-z coordinate plane, a radar sensor to detect an object, a rechargeable power supply to provide power to the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor, and a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor. The processor is to determine that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door and generate the alarm that is transmitted by the communication interface in response to determination that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door.
