Abstract:
A method of user authorization for services in a wireless communications network including the steps of: establishing a connection between user equipment and an authorization server of the network; the user equipment providing user identification to the authorization server; the authorization server retrieving authorization data based on the user identification as to a service available to that user; the authorization server returning authorization to the user equipment for a service indicated by the authorization data; and the user equipment establishing a communication path to the service using the authorization
Abstract:
The present invention provides a locating apparatus (100) for locating a user in a wireless network, coverage area of the wireless network including at least one functional area, comprising: a transmission source (101) for transmitting a radio signal; a first receiver (111) for receiving the radio signal; a second receiver (112) for receiving the radio signal; a first detector (121) for detecting a first signal variation state of the radio signal received by the first receiver; a second detector (122) for detecting a second signal variation state of the radio signal received by the second receiver; and a determiner (124) for determining whether the user is in one of the at least one functional areas according to the first signal variation state and the second signal variation state.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method of playing pictures comprises the steps of: receiving (11) a voice message; extracting (12) a key feature from the voice message; selecting (13) pictures by matching the key feature with pre-stored picture information; generating (14) a picture-voice sequence by integrating the selected pictures and the voice message; and playing (15) the picture-voice sequence. An electronic apparatus comprises a processing unit for implementing the different steps of the method.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, features, and methods for determining geographic features corresponding to a travel path to develop a map database, such as a navigation database, are disclosed. For example, one method comprises emitting light from a light source, such as a LIDAR device, while on the travel path. Returning light is received based on the emitted light. The returning light is used to generate data points representing an area about the travel path. The data points are filtered as a function of a return intensity value to identify a feature associated with the travel path, in which the feature is treated with a retroreflective substance.
Abstract:
A switchable resistive device has a multi-layer thin film structure interposed between an upper conductive electrode and a lower conductive electrode. The multi-layer thin film structure comprises a perovskite layer with one buffer layer on one side of the perovskite layer, or a perovskite layer with buffer layers on both sides of the perovskite layer. Reversible resistance changes are induced in the device under applied electrical pulses. The resistance changes of the device are retained after applied electric pulses. The functions of the buffer layer(s) added to the device include magnification of the resistance switching region, reduction of the pulse voltage needed to switch the device, protection of the device from being damaged by a large pulse shock, improvement of the temperature and radiation properties, and increased stability of the device allowing for multivalued memory applications.
