Abstract: A display control device (10) includes an acquisition unit (11), a control unit (13), and an output unit (18). The acquisition unit (11) acquires video data captured by each of a plurality of image capturing devices from each of the plurality of image capturing devices. In response to detection of a target state of a monitoring target from each of two or more pieces of video data among a plurality of pieces of the video data, the control unit (13) allocates a time order of output to a display device to each of the target video data being the video data in which the target state is detected. The output unit (18) sequentially outputs the target video data to the display device, based on the allocated time order.
Abstract: Disclosed are grips and methods of making grips for use with the handle of an article, and in particular for use with fishing poles and golf clubs. Grips preferably include a multi-layered gripping member and an inner sleeve or mounting body. The gripping member can include an outer layer with a fabric layer coated and preferably saturated by polyurethane. The outer layer can be bonded to an inner layer to form the gripping member which is then attached to the sleeve. The sleeve can be ground from a starting block of material or may be injection molded. Also disclosed are handles including a connector configured to couple to a portion of a fishing pole. Such handles may include a multiple layers and can be selectively removed from the article. Methods are also provided for selectively coupling exchangeable handles to articles including fishing poles.
Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for enabling aerial vehicle navigation in GPS-denied areas. The system may use a camera to record images of terrain as the aerial vehicle is flying to a target location. The system may then detect (e.g., using a machine learning model) objects within those images and compare those objects with objects within an electronic map that was loaded onto the aerial vehicle. When the system finds one or more objects within the electronic map that match the objects detected within the recorded images, the system may retrieve locations (e.g., GPS coordinates) of the objects within the electronic map and calculate, based on the coordinates, the location of the aerial vehicle. Once the location of the aerial vehicle is determined, the system may navigate to a target location or otherwise adjust a flight path of the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Technologies for signaling compression inside a partially unrolled decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are described. The signaling compression associated with partially unrolled DFE results in multiplexers selecting a 1-bit output value from one of two 1-bit input values, which are decoding the actual multi-bit candidate levels and transforming the selected 1-bit output value to a multi-bit sliced value by adding to it a pointer value of a pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) level. The signaling compression reduces the power and area of an N-tap DFE, where N is a positive integer.
