  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING VIRTUAL TAGS FOR ITEMS IN A PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20240144338
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for generating a virtual tag for an item in a physical environment. For instance, an image of the physical environment captured by and displayed on a user interface of a computing device may be provided as input to a trained machine learning model configured to identify the item including a first subset of item attributes. The item may be identified and information associated with the item, including a second subset of item attributes, may be received from a data store using the first subset. A spatial location of the item may be identified in the image. An icon may be generated for the item and rendered by the computing device for display on the user interface in association with the spatial location of the item in the image. The icon may be indicative of at least one item attribute from the first or second subset.

  • SIMPLIFIED PROCESSING OF WEIGHTED PREDICTION SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS USING A BIT DEPTH VARIABLE FOR HIGH PRECISION DATA
    Publication number: 20240146904
    Abstract: Particular embodiments may remove a condition check in the semantics for checking a high-precision data flag. This simplifies the semantics used in the encoding and decoding process. In this case, even if the high-precision data flag is not set, the value of the weighted prediction syntax element is set by the BitDepth variable. However, even if the BitDepth is not considered high-precision data, such as 8 bits, the range for the weighted prediction syntax element is still the same as the fixed value. For example, the syntax elements luma_offset_l0[i], luma_offset_l1[i], delta_chroma_offset_l0[i][j], and delta_chroma_offset_l1[i][j] use the variable BitDepth as described above whether the flag extended_precision_processing_flag is enabled and not enabled to indicate whether the bit depth is above a threshold.

  • HAPTIC ACTUATORS AND THEIR METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20240139065
    Abstract: Methods of operating a haptic actuator to apply physical and/or thermal sensations to a user to provide subjective symptom relief to a user are described. In some embodiments, a haptic actuator may be automatically activated when one or more detected user states are compared to one or more predetermined activation parameters to determine the user is experiencing an episode related to a condition of the user. In another embodiment, one or more operating parameters of a haptic actuator may be updated if the haptic actuator did not provided a desired amount of subjective symptom relief to a user during use. In yet another embodiment, a haptic actuator may create an event log based on activation events when the haptic actuator is used to provide symptom relief for a condition of the user.
