Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium display a video with a set of tags selectively overlaid on the video. The method causes a display device to display a sequence of video frames. The video depicts a plurality of visually perceptible items, and the video frames as displayed do not include any tags, thereby depicting the video in a tagless mode. The method also receives a signal requesting that the video be displayed in a tag mode. In response to receipt of said signal, the method overlays one or more visually perceptible tags on the video frames at specified positions, thereby causing the display device to display the video in a tag mode. Each of the overlaid tags is associated with at least one respective visually perceptible item appearing in the video.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a printable curved-surface perovskite solar cell, including a curved-surface conductive substrate, a porous electron transport layer, a porous insulation layer, a porous back electrode layer and a perovskite filler. The curved-surface conductive substrate includes a curved-surface transparent substrate and a conductive layer deposited on the curved-surface transparent substrate. The porous electron transport layer, the porous insulation layer and the porous back electrode layer are sequentially deposited on the conductive layer from bottom to top. The perovskite filler is filled in pores of the porous electron transport layer, the porous insulation layer and the porous back electrode layer. The present disclosure further provides a method for preparing the printable curved-surface perovskite solar cell.

Abstract: An engineered crystalline structure created from a solution containing silica dioxide that is applied on a surface and dries forming a barrier coating on the treated surface. The formed of the barrier coating has proven to be an effective antimicrobial barrier solely with inert ingredients. Moreover, the established barrier has been shown to eradicate SARS-CoV-2 within two hours without chemical intervention. When applied to a surface and allowed to dry, a 4-6 nm crystalline-like layer of silica dioxide bonds covalently to the surface. The crystalline-like structures making up the “new” surface are invisible to the naked eye but can be observed via a high-powered electronic microscope. Once silica dioxide is applied to a surface, the crystalline-like structures contain spikes that penetrate the outer membranes and protein coats of microorganisms, rendering them dead in the case of bacteria and fungi or inactive in the case of viruses.

Abstract: A mattress includes a layer including a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface. The layer defines a plurality of slits extending from the first surface to the second surface and arranged in a plurality of rows extending in a longitudinal direction. The slits in each row are arrayed linearly in the longitudinal direction and are disposed spaced apart from each other. The rows of the slits restrict a compression of the layer to an area under loading and prevent the surrounding portion of the layer from being pulled towards the area under loading.

Abstract: A video scene is displayed in a either a tag mode or a tagless mode. The video scene depicts a plurality of visually perceptible items. The tag mode displays one or more visually perceptible tags in conjunction with the video scene. Each tag is associated with a visually perceptible item appearing in the video scene. The tags are categorized into a plurality of categories. In response to a request to display the video scene in the tag mode for a first one of the plurality of categories, the display device displays the video scene in the tag mode displaying tags in the first one of the categories. In response to a request to display the video scene in the tag mode for a second one of the plurality of categories, the display device displays the video scene in the tag mode displaying tags in the second one of the categories.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a water dispensing lamp (WDL). In an illustrative example, the WDL may include a base module disposed on a horizontal plane, and a fluid dispensing stem coupled above the horizontal plane along a vertical axis. The fluid dispensing stem, for example, may include an electrical pump and a dispensing element. For example, the electrical pump may be configured to pump fluid out of the dispensing element towards the base module. In some implementations, the WDL may include a lamp shade coupled to the fluid dispensing stem. Various embodiments may advantageously conceal the dispensing element by the lamp shade unless a viewing angle between the horizontal plane and a viewing axis is larger than a predetermined viewing angle threshold.

Abstract: Instructions embedded on a computer-readable medium, when executed on one or more computer devices, improve video coding performance while using a merge mode in motion estimation. The instructions comprise instructions to perform one or more refinement searches on a plurality of candidate regions of a current frame. The instructions also comprise instructions to determine one or more distortion values based, at least in part, on reduced candidate regions and instructions to code motion data based, at least in part, on the one or more refinement searches.

Abstract: The claimed invention relates to graphical user interfaces (GUI), in particular to a method for controlling devices using a multifunctional context toolbar. The technical result is to raise the operating speed of the graphical interface owing to the fact that there is no need to switch imaging modes of the graphical user interface for accessing functions of an electronic device. The claimed solution is achieved by a method for controlling functions of an electronic device using a graphical user interface, comprising steps in which: a region of a dynamic context toolbar is formed comprising a primary functional element and two additional functional elements for activating application states, wherein the centers of all three elements are on the same line; using said toolbar, user control commands are received for the current application state; application functions are distributed among said toolbar elements; at least one application function is executed by means of interaction with the primary toolbar element.

Abstract: A system (10) for removing airborne pathogens can include a housing (1, 4, and 6) having at least one or more chambers, a bipolar ionizer (9A), at least one particle filter (8), and an ultra violet light radiation source (5A) residing in at least one or more chambers. Furthermore, the embodiments can include the use of a ventilation system which can include a fan (3) that draws in surrounding air at an intake (7A) and directs the surrounding air towards the at least one particle filter, the bipolar ionizer, and the ultra violet light radiation source before the ventilation system expels the surrounding air drawn through the intake through an exhaust vent (7B).

Abstract: Disclosed is a threshold voltage-programmable field effect transistor-based (e.g., a ferro-electric field effect transistor (FeFET)-based) memory circuit employing source-line and/or bit-line-applied variable programming assist voltages. For single-bit data storage in a FeFET, decremental programming assist voltages are selectively applied by a voltage driver to the source-line and/or the bit-line connected to a FeFET during repeat programming processes when previous attempts at programming have failed. For multi-bit data storage in a FeFET, different programming assist voltages are associated with different multi-bit data values and at least one specific programming assist voltage is applied by a voltage driver to the source-line and/or the bit-line connected to a selected FeFET during a programming process to achieve storage of a specific multi-bit data value. Optionally, multiple FeFETs in the same row can be currently programmed with different multi-bit data values.

Abstract: A method causes a display device to display a video depicting an item in a scene and a tag in a first position on a first frame of the video. The tag is associated with the item depicted in the video, and the tag includes text information associated with the item depicted in the video. The method causes the video display to display the tag in a second position on a second frame of the video and causes the video display to display the tag in intermediate positions between the first and second positions during frames between the first and second frames of the video.
