Automatic Functional Validation Of 3d Printing System Without Use Of Consumables, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Printing systems functional validation is a need for design, manufacturing, installation and service

engineers at different phases of the product lifetime. This refers to the systems integration acceptance

after the product manufacturing or a modification is done after a repair or a redesign. The objective of

this validation is to ensure that the product is delivered to the customer with an optimal quality and

performance, meaning that the parts printed with it will accomplish all the quality standards.

This idea is planned to be part of the overall customer acceptance procedure at new installations and

during the product use. This …

Sharing Bluetooth Pairing Between Multiple Host Devices, Douglas Stockwell

Defensive Publications Series

When initially pairing devices using wireless communication technologies (e.g., Bluetooth®, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), WiFi®, etc.), the devices may exchange a common secret key to enable the device to automatically reestablish the connection in the future. Rather than requiring a new common secret key to be exchanged, techniques of this disclosure enable different host devices (e.g., phones, computers, watches, etc.) to share a common secret key for each client device (e.g., headphones, printers, keyboards, mice, etc.). A virtualized pairing service, which may be provided by a cloud-based or other computing system, may receive common secret keys for a particular user …

Standard Radar Api: Proposal Version 0.1, Andrew Felch, Ivan Poupyrev, Shang Shi, Zhuo Wang, Chris Findeisen, Jinjie Chen, Blake Charles Jacquot, Mingyu Kang, Chang Hong Ye, Jaime Lien, Gerard George Pallipuram, Alex Paniutin, Brandon Charles Barbello

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes a radar API that enables different radar options to be used without changing higher level software layers. The radar API supports frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar and other radar types. The radar API also supports interleaved radar configurations, so that different features may use different burst configurations simultaneously. For example, the radar API may support a dual burst configuration, where a first configuration is optimized for the longest range and a second configuration uses a wider bandwidth optimized for better range resolution. Together, the burst configurations may run simultaneously so that the algorithms supporting different features may consume …

Grip Suppression Using A Machine-Learned Technique, Katherine Kuan, Mark Chang

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes techniques for grip suppression of a touchscreen display of a computing device using a machine-learned technique. When a user intentionally or unintentionally touches the display (e.g., with a hand or a finger), a Touch Manager of the computing device performs operations to determine a user intent associated with the touch input to prevent false triggering of the display (e.g., by a grip of a hand holding the device). A machine-learned (ML) model calculates the likeliness of an intentional touch input (e.g., a tap, a swipe, or a scroll of a hand or a finger to input or …

Automatically Selecting Process Monitoring Parts, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

When producing 3D printed parts, it can be helpful to measure and monitor the

printing process.

In this disclosure we describe a new method where the user selects a set of desired

parts and specifies the important attributes. Based on those attributes, we

automatically select a set of “Process monitor parts” to include in the build. Since those

additional parts may increase the cost or print time, we order the Process Monitor parts

and then provide the user with alternative builds to print, allowing them to tradeoff

between the cost/time to print and ability to test part quality.

Dynamic Blocking Of 5g Cells In Non-Standalone Networks, Todd Ou, Qin Zhang, Xiantao Sun

Defensive Publications Series

A multi-mode user equipment (UE) employing multiple radio access technologies (RATs) detects secondary cell group (SCG) failures in a cellular network. The UE implements a dynamic blocking mechanism to block the new radio (NR) cell associated with the SCG failure from being subsequently added as a secondary cell during a blocking period/cycle. In one example, the UE adds the NR cell to a block list and sets a blocking period for the NR cell. During the blocking period, the UE does not send a cell measurement report to the cellular network for the NR cell, which prevents/blocks the network from …

Rogue Base Station Detection Techniques, Madhu Venkata

Defensive Publications Series

User equipment (UE) and cellular networks implement one or more techniques to detect and mitigate rogue base stations/cells. In one approach, a UE implements base station authentication techniques for detecting and mitigating rogue base stations. In this approach, the UE detects a failed authentication procedure and determines the associated base station is a rogue base station. The UE stores identifying information associated with the rogue base station and location information associated with the UE. Upon attachment with a legitimate base station/cell, the UE sends the identifying information and location information to the network. In another example, the network implements reverse …

Enhancing Shared Video Presentations With Interactive Elements, Arsenii Astashkin, Will Reed, Matt Frey

Defensive Publications Series

It is common for presentations shared over a video stream to include rich information such as web links, email addresses, social media handles, and phone numbers. However, because the presentation is a video rather than a slide deck, a viewer is often limited to typing content, if they want to utilize it, in another application, for instance, a browser or email client, which can be error-prone or even impossible if the presentation progresses. Techniques herein provide the viewer with the ability to select a piece of information from a video presentation and trigger an associated action like opening a web …
