Abstract: A machine detects a set of first control operations and, in response, causes a display screen to present a graphical interface in which a central window suggests first content by presenting a first preview and a first identifier superimposed on the first preview. The machine then detects a second control operation that indicates dismissal of the first content. In response to the second control operation, the machine causes the display screen to present a transition to an interest-improved version of the graphical interface. The transition includes sliding the first preview, the first identifier, a second preview, and a second identifier together in a shared direction and at a shared speed within the central window. The second preview and the second identifier correspond to second content. In the interest-improved version of the graphical interface, the central window suggests the second content by presenting the second preview and the second identifier.

In the first configuration, the rear platform section can be supported by two wheels laterally offset from a longitudinal axis of the caster board. In the second configuration, the rear platform section can be supported by one wheel aligned with a longitudinal axis of the caster board. The rear platform section can include at least three mounting locations configured to have caster assemblies installed therein.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing transportation services with autonomous vehicles. For instance, a first route to a first destination may be determined. The first route may have a first cost. Weather information for the first destination may be received. A characteristic is determined based on the weather information. A second destination having the characteristic may be selected. The second destination may be different from the first destination. A second route to the second destination may be determined. The second route may have a second cost. The first cost may be compared to the first cost, and the vehicle may use the comparison to set one of the first destination or the second destination as a current destination for a vehicle to cause the vehicle to control itself in an autonomous driving mode to the current destination.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to managing a fleet of autonomous vehicles. For instance, a method may include receiving, from a plurality of the autonomous vehicles of the fleet, reports identifying locations of detected puddles. A miles per puddle rate may be determined based on the received reports. An operating policy for the fleet may be determined based on the miles per puddle rate. An instruction may be sent to one or more of the autonomous vehicles of the fleet in order to implement the operating policy.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for crowdsourcing metadata, such as to create, maintain, utilize, and/or communicate metadata in a datastore. Some embodiments are particularly directed to collecting, managing, and/or distributing metadata via a user interface application (UIA), or an extension thereof. Many embodiments may facilitate collaborative creation of a repository for metadata, such as notes, characteristics, and/or statistics corresponding to data viewed with the user interface application. For example, the comments regarding websites may be collected from a first user via a first instantiation of the web browser extension and distributed to a second user via a second instantiation of the web browser extension. In several embodiments, the metadata may be collected and managed with instantiations of the web browser extension (herein after “WBE instants”) and a data manager may create, maintain, utilize, and/or communicate metadata in a datastore.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems for network training and testing for evaluating hardware characteristics and for hardware selection. For example, a sensor can capture a dataset, which may be transformed into a plurality of modified datasets to simulate changes to hardware. Each of the plurality of modified datasets may be used to individually train an untrained neural network, thereby producing a plurality of trained neural networks. In order to evaluate the trained neural networks, each neural network can be used to ingest an evaluation dataset to perform a variety of tasks, such as identifying various objects within the dataset. A performance of each neural network can be determined and compared. A performance curve can be determined for each characteristic under review, facilitating a selection of one or more hardware components and/or configurations.

Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring one or more properties of a sample are disclosed. The methods and systems can include multiplexing measurements of signals associated with a plurality of wavelengths without adding any signal independent noise and without increasing the total measurement time. One or more levels of encoding, where, in some examples, a level of encoding can be nested within one or more other levels of encoding. Multiplexing can include wavelength, position, and detector state multiplexing. In some examples, SNR can be enhanced by grouping together one or more signals based on one or more properties including, but not limited to, signal intensity, drift properties, optical power detected, wavelength, location within one or more components, material properties of the light sources, and electrical power. In some examples, the system can be configured for optimizing the conditions of each group individually based on the properties of a given group.

Abstract: An interactive system can utilize microtechnology (e.g., a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)), such as miniaturized microphone (e.g., a bone-conducting microphone), audio output device, microprocessor, and signal conversion and propagation means to create a personal area network (PAN) for a user. The system can include a voice input device (e.g., worn on one or more teeth of the user) that outputs a near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) signal based on a whisper input by the user. The NFMI signal is either detected by the user's mobile device, or converted into a wireless signal (e.g., a Bluetooth RF signal) detectable by the user's mobile device, for receiving voice commands (e.g., to provide personal assistant services) via a designated application running on the mobile device.
