Abstract: Systems and methods are described to dynamically generate metadata for a live media stream. The system determines that a first user on a social media network has started a live media stream. In response, the system identifies a topic of the live media stream based on a frame of the live media stream and identifies another person featured in the frame of the live media stream based on social connections of the first user in the social media network. The system then generates a title for the live media stream based on the identified topic and the identified person, and transmits a notification to a second user that the first user is streaming live, where the notification includes the generated title.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a contaminant shield system. The contaminant shield system may surround an electronic device, such as a local oscillator (e.g., a crystal oscillator), to prevent contamination of the electronic device via coupling material (e.g., under-fill material) creep or wicking. The contaminant shield system includes multiple walls and at least one wall includes a pick-and-place feature that facilitates positioning of the contaminant shield system during assembly of a circuit board that includes the contaminant shield system.

Abstract: One or more embodiments herein can enable identification of an obstacle free area about an object. An exemplary system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise an obtaining component that obtains raw data defining a physical state of an environment around an object from a vantage of the object, and a generation component that, based on the raw data, generates a dimension of a portion or more of a virtual polygon representing a boundary about the object, wherein the boundary bounds free space about the object. A sensing sub-system can comprise both an ultrasonic sensor and a camera that can separately sense the environment about the object from the vantage of the object to thereby generate separate polygon measurement sets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating a playlist for a simultaneous presentation of a plurality of media assets. The system retrieves a user preference associated with a user profile and receives a selection of a first media asset and a second media asset from the plurality of media assets for presentation on a user device. The system parses the respective audio streams of the first media asset and the second media asset to identify one or more preferred audio segments based on the user preference and generates the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments. Based on a generated audio playlist, the system generates, for presentation on the user device, the video stream for each of the first media asset and the second media asset and the playlist of the identified one or more preferred audio segments.

Abstract: Enhancing the accuracy in compensating errors caused by a reference signal with unequal successive periods in a fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL). A compensation block generates a compensation factor, and is implemented based on a correction block and a filter. The correction block generates a correction signal containing a first frequency correction factor and a second frequency correction factor for a first period and a second period constituting each pair of successive periods, with the correction signal also containing a noise component at direct current (DC). The filter operates to remove the noise component at DC from the correction signal to generate a compensation factor containing the first frequency correction factor and the second frequency correction factor. The compensation factor thus generated may be provided as an input to a division factor generator of a frequency divider block of the PLL, potentially resulting in zero error frequency synthesis.

Abstract: A division factor generator of a feedback divider block in a fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL). The division factor generator is enabled to operate with larger values of division factors without increased complexity of an internal modulator core implemented, for example, as a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) having a signal transfer function (STF), wherein the STF always generates only an integer value as an output in response to an integer value received as input.

Abstract: A method and a system for identifying suitable participants for a proposed transaction is provided. The method includes receiving transaction-specific information that relates to a proposed transaction; determining a search term based on the transaction-specific information; retrieving, from a memory, participant-specific information that relates to at least one prospective participant with respect to the proposed transaction; applying, to the participant-specific information, a search algorithm that uses the determined search term; and using a result of the applying of the search algorithm to determine whether to offer an opportunity to participate in the proposed transaction to each of the at least one prospective participant. The search algorithm is initially applied to a first list of prospective participants, and when a number of prospective participants to which an opportunity is offered is less than a threshold number, then the search algorithm is applied to a broader list of prospective participants.

Abstract: The present disclosure adds automotive millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars to the current perception system and makes them an effective augmentation for ultrasonic sensors (USSs). Relying on the superior range and Doppler resolution, mmWave radars generate denser point clouds than the intersection detections of USSs, making it possible to form a more robust and accurate radar occupancy grid. The radar occupancy grid can be formulated as a polygon with multiple nodes. Thus,, the memory-consuming occupancy grid is simplified as a polygon that consists of a bunch of points, which can be used in the downstream application for relieving computational burden. Radars measure and estimate the Doppler velocity of detected targets such that one can assign a moving velocity to each node of the radar polygon. This makes it possible to predict the shape of a future radar polygon and feed the predicted radar polygon to downstream applications.

Abstract: A camera mount assembly for holding a camera or other perception sensor that may be fixed with respect to a ground plane and used for incremental angle measurement of the camera or other perception sensor in three axes, such that the precise spatial relationships of imaged objects with respect to the orientation/position of the camera or other perception sensor may be determined. A base structure of the camera mount assembly may be affixed to a fixed or moveable support structure and multiple leveling devices and/or laser devices are provided to establish a reliable reference relative to the ground plane. Thus, the exact orientation of the camera or other perception sensor in space may be determined frame to frame, such that the precise orientation of imaged objects with respect to the orientation/position of the camera or other perception sensor relative to the ground plane may be determined over time.
