Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry that is configured to decode a current picture based on a bitstream. The processing circuitry can determine, from a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message, a first flag indicating whether a warping process is applied to the current decoded picture. Based on the first flag indicating that the warping process is applied to the current decoded picture, the processing circuitry can determine warping information of the warping process based on the SEI message. The processing circuitry can determine a warped picture from the current decoded picture based on the warping information.

Abstract: A multi-driver multi-channel single enclosure Height-Channel (e.g., ATMOS® or DTS-X®) enabled soundbar loudspeaker system 260 uses a novel signal processing system, driver mounting configuration (310L, 310R) and method to provide a high fidelity home theater listening experience, in a manner which relies on a new method for cancellation of unwanted direct (not ceiling-bounced) radiation of the Height-Channel (or virtual height envelopment) channel's sound 213DS.

Abstract: A wireless network device in a wide area network is disclosed. A radio of the network device receives a plurality of communication signals. The device detects a signal to noise ratio value and/or a noise floor value and determines, for each frequency channel, when one of the detected signal to noise ratio value is less than a signal to noise ratio threshold value for a period of time and/or the detected noise floor value is greater than a noise floor threshold value for the period of time. The device transmits a jamming warning signal when one of the detected signal to noise ratio value for each of the channels is determined to be greater than the signal to noise ratio threshold value for the period of time and/or the detected noise floor value for each channel is greater than the noise floor threshold value for the period of time.

Abstract: A data storage device includes at least one data storage medium. The data storage device also includes a workload rating associated with data access operations carried out on the at least one data storage medium. The data storage device further includes a controller configured to enable performance of the data access operations, and change a rate of consumption of the workload rating by internal device management operations carried out in the data storage device in response to a change in a workload consumed by host commands serviced by the data storage device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cross-dock management system comprises: a plurality of movable platforms configured to hold one or more pallets or parcels; at least one barcode or RFID tag positioned on each of said movable platforms, pallets, or parcels, wherein the barcode readers are configured to read the barcodes and RFID readers are configured to read the RFID tags. The data scanned by the barcode readers and RFID readers is stored in a local warehouse database and is used to determine an optimized placement and load for each movable platform in the warehouse.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for use with electronic records, such as Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). A parser engine may receive a stream of Health Level 7 (HL7) messages containing EMR data and, using parsing logic, parse the HL7 messages to identify and extract specified EMR data therefrom. The extracted EMR data may be combined with analytic results data and presented via a trackerboard with refresh and writeback capability, to a medical professional or medical staff member, in real time or near real time relative to entry of the EMR data into an EMR system.

Abstract: Individual-specific changes in health conditions are detected using a latent space mapping generated from baseline physiological data collected in a longitudinal study of the individual. Historical baseline data in an n-dimensional input space is modeled into a k-dimensional latent space, where k<n. The mapping for the model is then used to convert new physiological data into a latent space point, which can be used to determine if the associated newly collected physiological data is anomalous and thus indicative of a change in health condition. Anomalies can be inferred from poor fit between the point and baseline data within the latent space, or form large error between data reconstructed into the input space from the point and the original new physiological data.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of translating an edit from a child computer language to a parent computer language while maintaining a semantic meaning of the edit. Parent code that is based on the parent computer language is compiled, which automatically triggers generation of child code that is mapped to the parent code and that is based on the child computer language. A determination is made that the edit, which is not mapped to the parent code, is implemented in the child code to provide edited child code. The parent code is updated to include a change that is based on the semantic meaning of the edit. The updated parent code is configured such that compilation of the updated parent code automatically triggers generation of an updated version of the child code that includes the semantic meaning of the edit.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a fantasy sports game. In some embodiments, an expected performance value may be determined that may affect the outcomes of a fantasy game. In some embodiments, player location may affect available opponents for a game. Groups may play against one another in a fantasy competition. Various examples of fantasy gaming options are given.

Abstract: Systems and network devices configured to use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) to provide different internet protocol (IP) address information to user equipment (UE) devices that are connected to the same local area network (LAN). A network device (e.g., default router, etc.) may determine whether a UE device is eligible to receive special treatment based on a link-layer address of the UE device. The network device send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a special prefix in response to determining that the UE device is eligible to receive special treatment. The network device may send the UE device an unicast router advertisement that includes a base prefix for the LAN in response to determining that the UE device is not eligible to receive special treatment.

Abstract: A garment hanger includes a hook having a terminal end and a neck. A first shoulder bar and a second shoulder bar extend away from the neck to support a clothing item. A support bar extends horizontally between the first shoulder bar and the second shoulder bar. A resilient clip stem is suspended beneath the neck and terminates in a clip bar positioned adjacent the support bar. The clip stem and clip bar are resiliently moveable between a resting position and an open position to receive a clothing item and retain the clothing item on the garment hanger.

Abstract: A Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry system comprises: a chromatograph; a mass spectrometer configured to ionize separated fractions of a sample received from the chromatograph; and a programmable processor operable to repeatedly execute the steps of: (i) causing the mass spectrometer to perform a data-independent analysis of the precursor ion species using a mass analyzer of the mass spectrometer; (ii) calculating one or more degree-of-matching scores that relate to detection of an internal standard; and (iii) if each of the degree-of-matching scores meets a respective degree-of-matching condition, performing a quantitative tandem mass spectrometric analyses of both the internal standard and the analyte; the programmable processor further operable to calculate a quantity of the analyte in the sample by comparison between intensities of one or more mass spectral signals generated by the quantitative tandem mass spectrometric analyses of the analyte and the internal standard.
