Abstract: A method for calibrating the sensors present within a drilling tool, whereby the calibration occurs downhole and in-situ within the drilling tool. The calibration method may use the rotation of the drilling tool which typically occurs during drilling operations, whereby the drilling tool is rotating along the axis which follows the drilling trajectory. Direction and speed of rotation of the drilling tool may contribute to the in-situ calibration of the sensors, which may include angular rate sensors, magnetometers, and accelerometers.

Abstract: A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) environment that leverages network virtualization management deployment is provided. Edge security services managed by the network virtualization management deployment are made available in the SD-WAN environment. Cloud gateways forward SD-WAN traffic to managed service nodes to apply security services. Network traffic is encapsulated with corresponding metadata to ensure that services can be performed according to the desired policy. Point-to-point tunnels are established between cloud gateways and the managed service nodes to transport the metadata to the managed service nodes using an overlay logical network. Virtual network identifiers (VNIs) in the metadata are used by the managed service nodes to identify tenants/policies.

Abstract: Techniques for inferring whether an event is occurring in 3D space based on 2D image data and for maintaining a camera's calibration are disclosed. An image of an environment is accessed. Input is received, where the input includes a 2D rule imposed against a ground plane. The 2D rule includes conditions indicative of an event. A bounding box is generated and encompasses a detected object. A point within the bounding box is projected from a 2D-space image plane of the image into 3D space to generate a 3D-space point. Based on the 3D-space point, a 3D-space ground contact point is generated. That 3D-space ground contact point is reprojected onto the ground plane of the image to generate a synthesized 2D ground contact point. A location of the synthesized 2D ground contact point is determined to satisfy the conditions.

Abstract: A system for dark current compensation in SPAD imagery is configurable to capture an image frame with the SPAD array and generate a temporally filtered image by performing a temporal filtering operation using the image frame and at least one preceding image frame. The at least one preceding image frame is captured by the SPAD array at a timepoint that temporally precedes a timepoint associated with the image frame. The system is also configurable to obtain a dark current image frame. The dark current image frame includes data indicating one or more SPAD pixels of the plurality of SPAD pixels that detect an avalanche event without detecting a corresponding photon. The system is also configurable to generate a dark current compensated image by performing a subtraction operation on the temporally filtered image or the image frame based on the dark current image frame.

Abstract: A variable cutting diameter arrowhead includes a first blade, a second blade, and a ferrule, where the first blade and the second blade have a stowed position and a deployed position. The first blade and the second blade may be pivotally attached to the ferrule. In addition, a resilient member may be within a ferrule cavity, where the resilient member applies a force to a blade locking member that engages the first blade and the second blade to retain the blades in a stowed position. When the blades are in a deployed position, the distance between a distal end of the first blade and an outer surface of the ferrule is greater than the distance between the distal end of the first blade and the outer surface of the ferrule is in the stowed position.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for replicating data packets at individual compute (e.g., VCMTS) nodes and sending the replicated data packets to a gateway via a tunneling protocol. The gateway determines traffic data related to usage and telemetry based on the replicated data packets. Partial replication of the data packets, for example, replicating the headers only, may further reduce network I/O bandwidth and support higher customer scale. The partially replicated data packets may be used for data related to usage such as whether a user watched or interacted with content such as advertisements and provide basis for decision-making regarding the content.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilize a data change repository that supplements existing data in a database by storing various data labels for each record. Each data label comprises a first data characteristic comprising a stateless value and a second data characteristic that comprises a modification characteristic of the stateless value. The systems and methods may then use these additional labels to identify and/or validate the underlying data. As the labels are used for the identification and/or validation (as opposed to the underlying data itself), the systems and methods do not affect, and function despite, security protocols, access restrictions, and/or viewing rights.

Abstract: A method for training a speech recognition model with a loss function includes receiving an audio signal including a first segment corresponding to audio spoken by a first speaker, a second segment corresponding to audio spoken by a second speaker, and an overlapping region where the first segment overlaps the second segment. The overlapping region includes a known start time and a known end time. The method also includes generating a respective masked audio embedding for each of the first and second speakers. The method also includes applying a masking loss after the known end time to the respective masked audio embedding for the first speaker when the first speaker was speaking prior to the known start time, or applying the masking loss prior to the known start time when the first speaker was speaking after the known end time.
