Abstract: Example solutions provide saliency for anchor-based object detection, and include: performing, with an object detector, a first object detection process on an image, wherein the first object detection process employs a plurality of anchor boxes; identifying an object detection result for the image; determining, from among the plurality of anchor boxes, a first anchor box associated with the object detection result; and while limiting the object detector to the first anchor box, generating, with the object detector, a saliency map for the image. In some examples, the saliency map is used for selecting further training data for the object detector. In some examples, the saliency map comprises a gradient-based saliency map, and is used for auditing or debugging the object detector.

Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft comprising a fuselage and at least one fixed wing. The aircraft may include at least two powered rotors located generally along a longitudinal axis of the fuselage. The rotor units may be coupled to the fuselage via a rotating chassis, which allows the rotors to provide directed thrust by movement of the rotor units about at least one axis.

At least two nozzles are in fluid communication with the cartridge and configured to dispense the lubricant onto a respective wire at a position adjacent a weight bearing portion of the wire.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry receiving prediction information of a plurality of blocks in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The processing circuitry determines, based on the prediction information, whether at least one of a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) mode or a bi-directional optical flow (BDOF) mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks. If the DMVR mode or the BDOF mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks, the processing circuitry determines that a plurality of merge with motion vector difference (MMVD) merge flags indicating whether a MMVD mode is applied to the plurality of blocks, respectively, is inferred as false for the plurality of blocks. If the plurality of MMVD merge flags is inferred as false, the processing circuitry reconstructs each block in the plurality of blocks without applying the MMVD mode.

Abstract: A system and method are provided herein for communicating with and controlling various devices using visible light communication (VLC). According to one embodiment, a method is provided for extending a communication range of a VLC system comprising a plurality of controlled devices and a remote-control device. Such a method may include, for example, transmitting a communication message from a remote-control device to a first controlled device located within range of the remote-control device, wherein the communication message is transmitted through free space using visible light, and extending the communication range of the VLC system to a second controlled device, which is located outside of the range of the remote-control device, by using the first controlled device to retransmit the communication message through free space using visible light to the second controlled device.

Abstract: A node of a network receives account access information (AAI) for an account that a user has with a system. The node causes a first record to be added to a distributed ledger that is used for managing access to the account, wherein the first record includes the AAI or an encrypted storage identifier that identifies a storage location for the AAI. The node determines a likelihood that the account is being accessed by the user based on the AAI and/or historical AAI for one or more accounts, that include the account, that are used to access the system. The node causes a second record that includes a value representing the likelihood to be added to the distributed ledger. The node causes one or more other nodes of the network to be alerted that the first record and the second record have been added to the distributed ledger.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and kits for detecting the presence or absence of gene dysregulations such as those arising from gene fusions and/or chromosomal abnormalities, e.g. translocations, insertions, inversions and deletions. The methods, compositions and kits are useful for detecting mutations that cause the differential expression of a 5? portion of a target gene relative to the 3? region of the target gene. The average expression of the 5? portion of the target gene is compared with the average expression of the 3? portion of the target gene to determine an intragenic differential expression (IDE). The IDE can then be used to determine if a dysregulation or a particular disease (or susceptibility to a disease) is present or absent in a subject or sample.

Abstract: A windshield corrective optical system includes a motor vehicle having a windshield. A camera is positioned within an occupant compartment of the motor vehicle directed toward the windshield and receiving light rays passing through the windshield. A sensor is configured to receive the light rays. A corrective element is configured to allow passage of the light rays through the corrective element to the sensor. The corrective element corrects aberrations of the light rays induced by passing through the windshield prior to the light rays reaching the sensor.

The downstream MCD receives a downstream optical signal from the OLTs, converts the downstream optical signal to a downstream electrical signal, and transmits a regenerated downstream optical signal to the ONUs.

Abstract: The Cannabis cultivar ‘ZLT’ can be briefly characterized by towering green, white and purple streaking resin-coated flowers. With very short internodal space and vigorous growth characteristics, this cultivar is able to produce very high yields for both flower and hash production. ‘ZLT’ yields as much as 6% from fresh frozen material. Flower clusters have been observed at over 1-1.5? of uninterrupted colas. The unique terpene and flavor profile described, sets this cultivar apart from others currently available.

Abstract: A wireless device receives cross carrier scheduling parameter(s). A first control channel of a first cell carries downlink scheduling information for packets received via a downlink data channel of the first cell. A second control channel of a second cell carries uplink scheduling information for second packets transmitted via an uplink data channel of the first cell. A first DCI for uplink transmission is received via the first cell. A first deactivation timer of the first cell and a second deactivation timer of the second cell are started in response to the first DCI. A second DCI for downlink transmission is received via the first cell. The first deactivation timer and not the second deactivation timer is restarted in response to the second DCI. The first cell is deactivated in response to the first deactivation timer expiring. The second cell is deactivated in response to the second deactivation timer expiring.
