Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media to selectively enhance digital image and video content. For example, systems disclosed herein can encode original video content to compress and decompress the original video content. Systems described herein can further identify area of interest information for use in identifying portions of decompressed video content to analyze and remove one or more compression artifacts found therein. Systems described herein can further enhance the decompressed video content by increasing resolution for display. By identifying areas of interest and selectively enhancing digital video content, the systems described herein can reduce consumption of bandwidth and processing resources while maintaining high visual quality of the digital content.

Abstract: The invention provides a rules engine that manages user requests within an interface integrating multiple AI platforms and AI Models. Upon receiving a query, the engine assigns scores based on factors like management rules, user preferences, and contextual information. Determinative scores, such as those enforcing strict enterprise policies, can override others, leading the engine to block or reroute the query. If no score is determinative, the engine forwards the query and associated prompts to a specialized routing AI Model for contextual analysis. Based on this analysis, the rules engine directs the query to the most appropriate AI Model or defaults to the user-designated AI Model. This system balances user intent with rule enforcement, optimizing query processing across various AI platforms while ensuring compliance with enterprise guidelines.

The oral solid formulation also contains a decarboxylase inhibitor and about 80% to 100% of the decarboxylase inhibitor present in the oral solid formulation is present in the one or more immediate release components.

Abstract: A bicycle control system includes a housing, a brake lever moveably connected to the housing between an at-rest position and a brake engaging position, and a shift lever moveably connected to the brake lever between an at-rest position and a shift actuating position. An electrical switch is disposed on one of the brake lever or the shift lever. An adjustable shift actuator is moveably coupled to the other of the brake lever or the shift lever. The shift actuator is configured to actuate the electrical switch when the shift lever is moved to the shift actuating position. The shift actuator is adjustably moveable relative to the other of the brake lever or the shift lever so as to adjust the distance between the at-rest position and the shift actuating position.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include displaying, on a display device included in a computing device, content in an application executing on the computing device. The method can further include displaying, in a user interface on the display device, at least one identifier, receiving a selection of the at least one identifier, and initiating casting in response to receiving the selection of the at least one identifier.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing audio for a user include identifying an interactive zone of the user as the user is interacting with a video game in a real-world environment. The real-world environment is monitored to detect any changes that can affect the interactive zone. Responsive to detecting changes, a volume of the audio directed to one side or both side of a headphone providing the audio to one or both ears of the user is dynamically adjusted. The adjustment to the audio is to prevent the user from getting distracted while interacting with the video game.

Abstract: The invention comprises: a thermally conductive plate; and a resin coating integrated with the thermally conductive plate so as to cover at least a portion of the surface of the thermally conductive plate, wherein the resin coating includes a ventilation cylinder through which ventilation holes passing through the thermally conductive plate and the resin coating, and wherein at least a portion of the thermally conductive plate is housed inside a cylindrical wall of the ventilation cylinder.

Abstract: An improved denture system is disclosed. An improved denture system has a support bar and a denture material blank. The denture material blank has an oversize cutout to secure the support bar. The support bar has oversized implant interfaces and optional oversized tooth abutments. After securing the support bar in the denture material blank the final shape and dimensions of the implant interfaces and optionally the final shape and dimensions of the tooth abutments will be machined. The denture system will result in an accurate reference and registration between the denture teeth and base and the implant interfaces.

Abstract: A plurality of hidden clips can be included with a strip of clips and separated by a frangible section or tab located between adjacent clips. An aperture defined in each hidden clip can include an offset cylindrical section that causes a fastener to pivot from a vertical alignment when the fastener is driven into a joist. Each strip can be provided with a hand grip portion removably attached to a proximal-most hidden clip in the strip of clips.

Abstract: A system and a method for obfuscating a mobile device's location are provided. For privacy or security reasons, the user of a mobile device may desire to prevent the mobile device from reporting the mobile device's true location. To prevent a mobile device from determining its location accurately, an RF enclosure encapsulates the mobile device and prevents the mobile device from receiving RF signals from sources outside of the enclosure. Within the enclosure, antenna modules broadcast RF signals, such as cellular-network signals, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, or GPS signals, that contain information associated with a user-selected target location. The mobile device receives the RF signals from the antenna modules and determines that it is located at the target location rather than the true location.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a description of a sanitizing system for sanitizing a mobile electronic device comprising: a housing; a sanitizer contained within the housing configured to emit radiation with a sanitizing effect; and an entry system with a default closed position, the entry system being configured to permit a mobile electronic device to pass through the entry system and then automatically return to the default closed position, the entry system comprising a first outer enclosure and a second inner obstruction; wherein the entry system blocks radiation emitted within the sanitizing system to a level acceptable for consumer use, or wherein the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure, and/or wherein the combination of the first outer enclosure and the second inner obstruction provides more radiation attenuation than the first outer enclosure by itself. Disclosed are internal reflectors to help distribute sanitizing radiation generally evenly.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a VTOL aircraft including a plurality of tilting propeller assemblies each coupled to a support structure and configured to transition between a vertical flight and a forward flight position. Each tilting propeller assembly comprising a propeller and a movable fairing provided downstream of the propeller. The movable fairing is configured to extend along an axis of rotation of the propeller. When the tilting propeller assembly transitions between the vertical and forward flight position, the movable fairing is configured to swivel to extend parallel to the direction of resultant airflow over the tilting propeller assembly into a minimum drag orientation. The movable fairing is damped enough to prevent any oscillations from the propeller wake shedding, and at the same time, keep the propeller aligned in a minimum-drag orientation with the resultant flow.

Abstract: A coupling device includes a plurality of couplers. Each coupler includes a transmission main line and a coupling subline. The transmission main line is used for providing an input end and an output end. The coupling subline is coupled with the transmission main line to provide two coupling ends. The coupling subline includes two first parts located on opposite sides of the transmission main line and a second part connected between the two first parts. The coupling sublines of the plurality of couplers are connected in series to provide a first coupling output port and a second coupling output port. The first part of the coupling subline of at least one of the plurality of couplers has a shared section with the second part of the coupling subline of an adjacent one of the plurality of couplers.
