Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer-readable media for controlling and managing the identification and provisioning of resources within an on-demand center as well as the transfer of workload to the provisioned resources. One aspect involves creating a virtual private cluster within the on-demand center for the particular workload from a local environment. A method of managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment includes detecting an event associated with a local compute environment and based on the detected event, identifying information about the local environment, establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment and transmitting the information about the local environment to the on-demand compute environment, provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment to substantially duplicate the local environment and transferring workload from the local-environment to the on-demand compute environment.

Abstract: A surgical imaging system for presenting one or more operational parameters to a user in an augmented reality display disposed in a user's field of vision. The one or more operational parameters may be derived from or include signals from one or more sensors of a smart surgical instrument. The augmented reality display may comprise a transparent or semitransparent display positioned between the user and the surgical field such that the user may look through the augmented reality display to view the surgical field. In this regard, a user may observe the one or more operational parameters without diverting attention from the surgical field.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for web object maintenance in a software application testing environment using reinforcement learning. A server detects failure of a test script caused by a web object of the software application. The server identifies the web object that caused the failure using code elements extracted from a webpage, including: determining, for each code element, actions to be performed against the code element, executing a deep neural network model to generate a reward value by applying each action to properties of the code element, selecting the code element having a maximum reward value, and classifying the code element upon comparing properties of the selected code element to properties of web objects in a repository. The server updates a web object in the repository to comprise the selected code element and the properties. The server resumes execution of the test script using the updated web object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing status indicators for various forms of user activity that occurs across different digital contexts of a collaboration platform. A system can monitor activity that a particular user is performing within a particular digital context and provide status indicators to a different user within a different digital context when the monitored activity meets one or more criteria. For example, a system may cause a status indicator to be displayed in association with a data object within the digital context of a message thread when a specific type of user activity is occurring with respect to that data object within the digital context of an application that facilitates editing of the content of the data object. Thus, a system can deliver timely and contextually relevant status indicators about how team members are currently interacting with a data object without users having to switch between digital contexts.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a new and improved system and method for determining a weight rating for a surface road transporter by using a computing system and digital camera to identify various attributes of the transporter and then, based on those attributes, to determine a maximum allowable load limit for that transporter in a given jurisdiction. In addition, embodiments of the present invention may include a digital optical device and related software configured to scan and decipher a QR code printed on an “overweight” permit issued by a local jurisdiction, where the overweight permit authorizes a specific transporter to carry a load that exceeds its normal gross allowable weight by a specified amount or percentage. Embodiments of the present invention may incorporate the specified overage amount or percentage in its determination of the gross allowable weight rating for that transporter.

Abstract: A foldable touch screen display device made up of flexible or tiled display segments that can be folded from a compact state to an expanded state which also includes a 360 degree camera system. The form factor of the compact state is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of the expanded state is roughly the size of a larger phone or tablet computer, which may also include the mechanical functionality of a laptop. The device form factor may also be a flip phone configuration. Both folded states may include an integrated speaker and microphone. The 360 degree camera utilizes the inherent folded segment positions and their respective cameras such that they can be configured at different angles to achieve the appropriate camera array geometry. The device may further include sensors to indicate the position of each display segment.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry for video decoding. The processing circuitry decodes coding information for a current block. The coding information indicates that the current block is coded in a string copy mode and the coding information includes a first syntax element indicating a string length of a current string in the current block. A coded value of the first syntax element indicates a number N3 of sample groups. Each sample group has L samples, N3 and L being positive numbers. The string length and a number M1 of samples in the current block are divisible by L. The processing circuitry determines a string vector (SV) and the string length of the current string in the current block based on the coding information. The processing circuitry reconstructs the current string based on the SV and the string length of the current string.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for persistent calibration of an electronic device configured to implement an extended reality (XR) system involve estimating and validating visual-inertial odometry (VIO) calibration parameters during an active XR session of the electronic device. Validating the estimated VIO calibration parameters involves performing a strict calibration qualification of the estimated VIO calibration parameters using a thresholding module, machine learning module, or both. An initial calibration qualification is performed concurrently with the strict calibration qualification based on VIO performance. If the estimated VIO calibration parameters pass the strict calibration qualification and initial calibration qualification, they are stored for use to calibrate the device in future XR sessions. Persistent calibration of time alignment between the inertial management unit and the image sensor of the electronic device is also performed during active XR sessions upon detection of time alignment issues.
