Abstract:
A GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is operated in an indoor mode. An increase in strength of a cellular signal is detected at the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device. Responsive at least to the increase in cellular signal strength, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor testing mode. Detecting is carried out to determine whether movement of the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device occurs during the outdoor testing mode. If so, the GPS-enabled cellular electronic device is transitioned to an outdoor mode.
Abstract:
Methods, systems (100), and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (100), a base station (105) and a user equipment (UE) (115) may communicate over a shared radio frequency spectrum and may employ time-division multiplexing (TDM) techniques to multiplex sensing signals (315) with wireless communications in the shared radio frequency spectrum. In some examples, the base station (105) may configure the UE (115) with a first retuning gap during which the UE (115) may retune a radio frequency chain of the UE (115) when transitioning from a sensing signal (315) pulse to wireless communications and with a second retuning gap during which the UE may retune the radio frequency chain when transitioning from wireless communications to a sensing signal (315). In some other examples, the base station (105) may configure the UE (115) with a phase and amplitude continuity status of multiple adjacent sensing signal (315) pulses that may indicate whether the multiple adjacent sensing signal (315) pulses have
Abstract:
Utility meter readings generated at low sampling rates are disaggregated to identify consumer usage activities. Time intervals between readings can include a plurality of consumer usage activities. By employing a model which recognizes associations among consumer usage activities, effective disaggregation is possible using only aggregated consumption data and interval start times. Consumers and utility managers can design and assess conservation programs based on the disaggregated consumption usage activities.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus may include: a first registration device for performing, by taking a first input image of two overlapped input images having an overlapped as a reference image, a first registration on a second input image, to find, in the second input image, a second pixel which is matched with each first pixel located in the overlapped area of the reference image; an output pixel location determination device for calculating, a location of an output pixel which is located in the overlapped area of the output image and corresponds to the first pixel, wherein the locations of the first and second pixels are respectively weighted, and the shorter the distance from the first pixel to a non-overlapped area of the reference image is, the greater a weight of the location of the first pixel is; and an output pixel value determination device for calculating a pixel value.
