Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to applying lighting models to images of objects are provided. A neural network can be trained to apply a lighting model to an input image. The training of the neural network can utilize confidence learning that is based on light predictions and prediction confidence values associated with lighting of the input image. A computing device can receive an input image of an object and data about a particular lighting model to be applied to the input image. The computing device can determine an output image of the object by using the trained neural network to apply the particular lighting model to the input image of the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic routing of electronic transactions. One method comprises receiving a request message from a merchant system and determining a routing directive associated with the request message. Upon determining the routing directive, contextual data may be retrieved based on the routing directive. Then, a final destination payment processor may be determined based on the routing directive and the contextual data. The request message may be updated based on the final destination payment processor. The updated request message may then be transmitted to a downstream entity for further processing.

Abstract: A system for displaying information for a vehicle includes a plurality of vehicle sensors, a display, and a controller in electrical communication with the plurality of vehicle sensors and the display. The controller is programmed to detect a relevant traffic signal in an environment surrounding the vehicle using the plurality of vehicle sensors, receive information about the relevant traffic signal using the plurality of vehicle sensors, determine a status of the relevant traffic signal based on the received information, and display a graphic based on the status of the relevant traffic signal using the display.

Abstract: A method creates a virtual ensemble file by receiving, at a central assembler node, recorded performance files from a recording node(s). The recording nodes generate a respective one of the performance files concurrently with playing a backing track and/or nodal metronome signal. Each performance file includes audio and/or visual data. The assembler node generates the ensemble file as a digital output file. Another method creates the ensemble file by receiving input signals inclusive of the backing track and/or metronome signal at the recording node(s), and generating the performance files at the recording node(s) concurrently with playing the backing track and/or metronome signal. The performance files are transmitted to the assembler node. A computer-readable medium or media has instructions for creating the ensemble file, with execution causing a first node to generate the performance files, and a second node to receive the same and generate the ensemble file.

Abstract: A water inlet protection system is provided. The system may an adjustable frame defining an interior cavity, the adjustable frame including a plurality of rigid base members, a plurality of slidable corner members, a plurality of nut-and-bolt fasteners, and one or more tabs extending from one or more of the corner members. Each of the slidable corner members includes one or more slots, and each of the nut-and-bolt fasteners includes a bolt that extends through one of the one or more slots and one of the rigid base members. When the respective bolt is loosened, the respective slidable corner member is slidable along the respective slot atop the respective rigid base member, thereby altering a boundary of the interior cavity. When the respective bolt is tightened, the respective slidable corner member is fixed in place atop the respective rigid base member, thereby fixing the boundary of the interior cavity.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to reassigning meeting rooms.
