Abstract: Systems and methods for camera height detection include a time of flight (TOF) sensor included on a camera within a camera array that emits a signal in an array of points. After receiving a reflected signal at the TOF sensor, where the reflected signal is a bounce back of the emitted signal from at least a subset of the array of points, a distance to each respective point in the array is determined based on a time it takes to receive the reflected signal from each respective point in the array. A depth map is generated from each respective point, where the depth map provides distance measurements to objects within an environment of the camera. A vertical position of the camera is determined based on the depth map.

Abstract: It is disclosed herein that ssAAV and scAAV vectors of the same serotype administered by injection into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via the intracerebroventricular (ICV) or intrathecal (cisternal or lumbar) route exhibit different cellular tropisms in the central nervous system. Thus, a subject can be treated by injection into the CSF of ssAAV or scAAV vector encoding a therapeutic protein, such as an ssAAV9 or scAAV9 vector. The therapeutic protein can be targeted to specific cells using these vectors. In some embodiments, scAAV9 is utilized to achieve superior transduction in the hippocampus, cerebellum and cerebral cortex where both neurons, particularly Purkinje neurons, and glial cells (such as astrocytes) are transduced. In other embodiments, ssAAV9 is utilized to minimize transduction of astrocytes. In further embodiments, an immunosuppressive agent is also administered to the subject.

Abstract: Data intake and query system (DIQS) instances supporting applications including lower-tier, focused, work group oriented applications, are tailored to display the metrics for the needs of the user. An interface caused by operation of an entity monitoring system (EMS) operating in conjunction with the lower-tier DIQS displays the monitored entities as individual representations. The user selects a metric and a metric threshold. The EMS causes a display of an interface having a representation for each monitored entity. Each representation includes a metric value and indicates an entity status based on the metric value and the threshold. The user can dynamically change the threshold on the interface for easy visualization of aggregation of monitored entities to determine the performance of the infrastructure. The interface also provides the user with the ability to select an entity and click through to the entity analysis workspace for more detailed information.

Abstract: Techniques for an interactive turn-based reading experience are described. A system may take turns reading content, such as a book, with a user. The system may process audio data representing a user reading a portion of the content, determine reading evaluation data, and determine how to proceed for the next turn based on the reading evaluation data. For example, based on the reading evaluation data, the system may read a portion of the content by outputting synthesized speech representing the content, may ask the user re-read a portion of the content, or may ask the user to read a different, smaller portion of the content.

Abstract: Automated discovery of relationships between entities within an IT environment. A technique is performed by a relationship module that performs a discovery search for entity relationships to produce a set of relationship search results.

A technique for automatically updating entity and relationship definitions and removing outdated entity and relationship definitions stored to a data store. An update module automatically updates entity and relationship definitions at predetermined time intervals. The update history in each definition is also modified to reflect the update process. A retire module automatically removes outdated definitions using the update history in each definition.
