Abstract:
A sub-wavelength grating device having controlled phase response includes a grating layer having line widths, line thicknesses, line periods, and line spacings selected to produce a first level of control in phase changes of different portions of a beam of light reflected from the grating layer. The device also includes a substrate affixed to the grating layer that produces a second level of control in phase changes of different portions of a beam of light reflected from the grating layer, the second level of control being accomplished abrupt stepping of the substrate in a horizontal dimension, ramping the substrate in a horizontal dimension, or changing the index of refraction in a horizontal dimension.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, apparatus, and method for managing requests in a peer-to-peer network. A processor determines whether to reduce an amount of checks for connectivity for the device in the peer-to-peer network in response to a device being in the peer-to-peer network. The processor configures the device to send a message indicating a status of the device to a number of other devices in the peer-to-peer network without receiving a request for the status of the device in response to a determination to reduce the amount of checks for connectivity for the device in the peer-to-peer network.
Abstract:
Methods and means related to memory resistors are provided. A memristor includes two multi-layer electrodes and an active material layer. One multi-layer electrode forms an Ohmic contact region with the active material layer. The other multi-layer electrode forms a Schottky barrier layer with the active material layer. The active material layer is subject to oxygen vacancy profile reconfiguration under the influence of an applied electric field. An electrical resistance of the memristor is thus adjustable by way of applied programming voltages and is non-volatile between programming events.

Abstract:
A method for quality of service (QoS) parameters mapping during a handover from a first radio access network (RAN) (source RAN, 104) to a second RAN (target RAN, 106), the first RAN having communication with at least one access point name (APN), comprising: deriving an APN aggregated maximum bit rate (APN-AMBR) based on a maximumbit rate (MBR) of a packet data protocol (PDP) context associated with a first APN of the first RAN (104); providing a local user equipment (UE) agrregated maximum bit rate (UE-AMBR) until a subscribed UE-AMBR is available for the UE,- acquiring the subscribed UE-AMBR,- calculating a derived UE-AMBR by taking the miumimum of the subscribed UE-AMBR and the sum of all APN-AMBRs of all active APNs associated with the UR; comparing the dervided UE-AMBR to the local UE-AMBR; and initialing a subscribed quality of service (QoS) modification procedure to notify the derived UE-AMBR if the local UE-AMBR is different from the dervied UE-AMBR.
