Access to FR2 (high frequency bands) is essential for anticipated high-demand networking in 5G-Advanced and 6G systems. Unfortunately, phase noise is an unavoidable barrier, greatly limiting message reliability. Therefore, a low-cost solution is provided in which the transmitter (either base station or user device) transmits a special phase-tracking reference signal consisting of zero amplitude in one branch, and a predetermined non-zero amplitude in the other branch. For example, in QAM, the I-branch may be powered according to the maximum branch amplitude of the modulation scheme, and the Q-branch may have zero amplitude as transmitted. The receiver, on the other hand, generally measures a non-zero amplitude in the received Q branch due to phase noise, which rotates the I and Q branches into each other. The receiver can then determine the phase rotation angle precisely by measuring the non-zero amplitude in the Q branch, negating phase noise at negligible cost.

The present invention relates to laser beam profiling, more specifically to weak signals which are barely identified on a display screen representing the beam levels by color or gray palettes. Each displayed pixel on a beam profiling image represents the amount of laser power on said pixel. This represents the intensity information on a specific pixel. Integrating the pixel intensity information over the whole image will calculate the total power. Seldom, especially in high resolution cameras, the displayed information is indiscernible on the screen. However, there is enough information to observe the beam profile if the color or grayscale palette is displayed as percentage values of maximum intensity on the screen. Then, each percentage level will be assigned with a different color. By doing that, even very poor levels of displayed images could be enhanced to span over a full color or grayscale palette. The disclosed method is characterized by initially finding the maximum level of an image by histogram, then divide each pixel value by the maximum value found in the histogram, followed by displaying an image which has colors according to the percentage of power of each pixel relative to the maximum histogram level. This procedure can be performed either manually where the user adjusts the palette maximum, or automatically where software finds maximum level on histogram and spans the color palette onto the image percentage from maximum.

The interlock can buffer the result of the executed instruction until an indication is received from the policy engine that the instruction was allowable. The interlock can then release the result of the executed instruction. The policy engine can be configured to transform instructions received from the host processor or add inserted instructions to the policy evaluation pipeline to increase the flexibility of the policy engine and enable enforcement of the security policies.

A content management system may instantiate, from the same super class defined in a database schema, principal objects representing users and groups and content objects representing documents and folders. The principal objects and the content objects share the same social interaction functions. When a content object is modified, the system can create a message in which the content object identifies itself as a first person, update a message table such that any follower of the content object is notified of the message, and update a profile or feed associated with the content object. At least because content objects can “socialize” like principal objects, the system can generate a social graph containing content objects as nodes, map relationships among principal objects and content objects, and make recommendations to perhaps change/enhance such relationships.
