Abstract: According to aspects herein, methods and systems for capacity management of virtual space are provided. The method begins with estimating a capacity size need of a virtual space in a metaverse. A first quantity of avatars is monitored as avatars enter, leave, and occupy the virtual space. The first quantity of avatars in the virtual space is compared with a predetermined fill threshold. Based on the comparing, a duplicate virtual space may be created if the first quantity of avatars in the virtual space exceeds the predetermined fill threshold. A user may transmit a request to join a virtual space in a metaverse to a network. The request to join the virtual space contains at least one avatar identification and may be a request for a group to join. The user or group receives a sequential identifier of the virtual space and then joins the virtual space.

Abstract: The technology relates to an exterior sensor system for a vehicle configured to operate in an autonomous driving mode. The technology includes a close-in sensing (CIS) camera system to address blind spots around the vehicle. The CIS system is used to detect objects within a few meters of the vehicle. Based on object classification, the system is able to make real-time driving decisions. Classification is enhanced by employing cameras in conjunction with lidar sensors. The specific arrangement of multiple sensors in a single sensor housing is also important to object detection and classification. Thus, the positioning of the sensors and support components are selected to avoid occlusion and to otherwise prevent interference between the various sensor housing elements.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable device that may be used in a remote deposit environment. Upon receiving a user request, based on interactions with the UI, the method implements an electronic deposit of a financial instrument by activating a camera on the client device to generate a live video stream of image data of a field of view of at least one camera, wherein the live video stream includes imagery of at least a portion of each side of the financial instrument. The method continues by extracting data fields based on the formation of image objects of each side of the financial instrument from the live video stream of image data. A flip detection pauses the forming of image objects during the flip. The extracted data fields are communicated to a remote deposit server to complete the remote deposit.

Abstract: A fault protection system is configured to detect a fault in an electric power system. The fault protection system obtains a differential measurement signal. The differential measurement signal may, for example, indicate, as a function of time, the difference between currents or voltages measured at two or more terminals or boundaries of a fault protection zone of the electric power system. Regardless, the fault protection system generates a fault detection signal by cross-correlating the differential measurement signal with a reference signal. The reference signal may for instance be the differential measurement signal that is expected upon occurrence of a fault. The fault protection system performs fault detection, for detecting a fault internal to the fault protection zone, as a function of the fault detection signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interactively highlighting a region as pixel data on a screen and automatically retrieving context data associated with content of the highlighted region for contextual notetaking. The highlighted region includes at least a part of one or more windows and one or more applications associated with the one or more windows. The disclosed technology determines a context associated with content of the highlighted region and automatically retrieves context data that are contextually relevant to the content. Notes data are generated based on an aggregate of the highlighted content, window-specific context data, application-specific context data, and user-specific context data. A notetaking application retrieves stored the notes data from a notes database and displays the notes data for recall and for use. The contextual notetaking enables the user reducing a burden of performing manual operations for notetaking and utilizing notes that are enriched relevant data by context.

Abstract: A plurality of signal quality values that characterize signal qualities of the corresponding OFDM channel's subcarriers of a channel used by a first cable modem to communicate with an aggregation device are received. Due to in-band interference it is determined that a first subcarrier has a first signal quality value outside of a desirable signal quality threshold range for a pre-determined period of time. The aggregation device that provides data to the first cable modem is identified. To mitigate the interference impact, a signal analyzer sends an instruction to the aggregation device that identifies the first subcarrier and the first cable modem and that instructs the aggregation device to reduce a first transmission data rate used to transmit data on the first subcarrier.

And if so, then the computer determines whether a second total load request from the first and second electrical loads having high and medium load priorities, respectively, will exceed the demand threshold. And if not, then the computer commands the first and second electrical loads to be energized for the predetermined time interval.
