Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and providing an user interface for providing temporal information to users. The user interface may comprise a center portion and a three-dimensional shape comprising an upper portion that lies about the center portion and a lower portion that lies below the center portion. The center portion may correspond to a first time period. The upper portion may correspond to a second time period in the future relative to the first time period. The lower portion may correspond to a third time period in the past relative to the first time period.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for translating an utterance into text for display to a user. The approximate location of one or more potential speakers can be determined and a detected utterance can be assigned to one of the potential speakers based, at least in part, on a temporal relationship between the commencement of lip movement by one of the potential speakers and the reception of the utterance. The utterance can be converted to text and, if necessary, translated from a source language to a destination language. The converted text can then be displayed to the user in an augmented reality environment such that the user can intuitively appreciate to which of the potential speakers the converted text should be attributed.

Abstract: Various methods, systems, and apparatuses can be used to perform metered and conditional access control. In some implementations, a metered and conditional access control system can operate to approve, deny, or meter a request from a requesting user device for transactions such as, for example, approval of purchases, requests for bandwidth, access to restricted content, among many others. Once prompted, a granting user device can grant, deny, or meter directly with the requesting user device or another network element. A metered and conditional access control system can also coordinate with a metered conditional access control coordinating device to facilitate conditional access and/or metering.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses can operate to provide user directed third party video content. In some implementations, a first segment of third party video content is provided to a user device for display to the user, and a request is received from the user to skip the first segment of third party video content. A second segment of third party video content is retrieved and provided to the user device for display to the user.

Abstract: A battery control module for use with a battery includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage and a current measuring module that measures battery current. A power limit module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules and once every time period estimates a battery current limit that corresponds with a future time period. The battery current limit is based on a predetermined voltage limit of the battery and a battery current and a battery voltage that correspond with a time period that precedes the future time period.

Abstract: A battery control module is provided for use with a battery and includes a voltage measuring module that measures battery voltage, a current measuring module that measures battery current, and a state of charge (SOC) module. The SOC module communicates with the current and voltage measuring modules, determines a reset voltage based on the battery current, compares the battery voltage and the reset voltage, and resets a battery SOC based on an outcome of the comparison.

Abstract: A computer-based program performs calculations to analyze, vary, test, manage, and/or improve the performance of channels and/or frequencies in the communication spectrum. The program varies parameters of a point of communication, such as the location, transmission power, channel frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, to measure, test, and/or evaluate which parameter changes increase the market coverage of a target market or area. In some scenarios, changes to one point of communication cause the regulations governing the broadcast relationship between one or more nearby points of communication to be violated. When this occurs, the program determines which of the parameters, such as the location, transmission power, channel and/or frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, of the point of communication interfering with the increased market coverage scenario to vary to overcome the conflict with communications and/or regulatory law.

Abstract: A multi-cell monoblock battery in which a plurality of electrochemical cells are disposed in a battery case. The battery case includes one or more cell partitions which divide the interior of the case into a plurality of cell compartments that house the electrochemical cells. Preferably, one or more coolant channels are integrally formed with at least one of the cell partitions. The coolant channels may have inlets and outlets disposed in the walls of the battery case so as to provide a cross-flow cooling design.

Abstract: In a method of charging a battery cell, having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, a charging current is applied to the battery cell. A voltage is measured between the positive terminal and the negative terminal. The charging current is removed from the battery cell at a predetermined period subsequent to when the voltage changes at a rate, relative to time, that is not greater than a predetermined threshold. A battery cell charger for charging a battery cell includes a charger circuit, capable of applying a charging current to the battery cell, a voltage sensor circuit that measures a voltage between the positive terminal and the negative terminal and a charger control circuit that is responsive to the voltage sensor.
