Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes displaying a graphical user interface (“GUI”) and receiving personalized information from at least one server computing device. The GUI includes a page. The personalized information identifies a theatre location, movies playing at the theatre location, dates, and showtimes associated with the movies and dates. The method includes displaying on the page, the movies, dates on which a particular movie is showing, and a particular showtime on a particular date. A selection is entered by the user into a user input displayed on the page. The selection changes the theatre location, the particular movie, the particular date, and/or the particular showtime without the user exiting the page. The page updates automatically to display the user selection. An indication is received that the user has selected a purchase input display on the page, and a purchase of at least one movie ticket is completed.

Abstract: Training and/or utilization of machine learning model(s) (e.g., neural network model(s)) in automatically generating test case(s) for source code. Techniques disclosed herein can be utilized in generating test case(s) for unit test testing (or other white-box testing) and/or for functional testing (or other black-box testing). In some implementations, the machine learning model(s) can be trained on source code, unit test pairs. In some additional or alternative implementations, reinforcement learning techniques can be utilized to check for correctness of base source code, target source code pairs (e.g., by matching program execution of different branches).

Abstract: This application relates to video encoding and decoding, and specifically to tools and techniques for using and providing supplemental enhancement information in bitstreams. Among other things, the detailed description presents innovations for bitstreams having supplemental enhancement information (SEI). In particular embodiments, the SEI message includes picture source data (e.g., data indicating whether the associated picture is a progressive scan picture or an interlaced scan picture and/or data indicating whether the associated picture is a duplicate picture). The SEI message can also express a confidence level of the encoder's relative confidence in the accuracy of this picture source data. A decoder can use the confidence level indication to determine whether the decoder should separately identify the picture as progressive or interlaced and/or a duplicate picture or honor the picture source scanning information in the SEI as it is.

Abstract: A method including sending a media content to a target media destination through a first server and receiving a first response to the media content through a second server, where the first server is the intended receiver of the first response. A resulting triggering event is followed by the generating of a request to determine how to handle the triggering event. The request is received through a network routing control that comprises logic to generate a second response to the request. Next, the second response to the request is executed.

Abstract: A method for generating shard data from a geographical area split into sections is proposed. The method uses data representative of a geographical area that is split into sections and data representative of semantic objects located in the geographical area. For each of the sections, semantic objects are searched that are located at least partly in a section. A shard data entry of the shard data is generated. The shard data entry includes one or more semantic objects found by the searching.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to routing an autonomous vehicle based upon risk of takeover of the autonomous vehicle by a human operator. A computing system receives an origin location and a destination location of the autonomous vehicle. The computing system identifies a route for the autonomous vehicle to follow from the origin location to the destination location based upon output of a computer-implemented model. The computer-implemented model is generated based upon labeled data indicative of instances in which autonomous vehicles are observed to transition from operating autonomously to operating based upon conduction by human operators while the autonomous vehicles are executing predefined maneuvers. The computer-implemented model takes, as input, an indication of a maneuver in the predefined maneuvers that is performed by the autonomous vehicle when the autonomous vehicle follows a candidate route.

Abstract: A buffer management system includes at least one workstation configured to support a supply of concentrated buffer solution and an inline dilution skid having a manifold and at least one workstation to support delivery of diluted (surge) buffers from the inline dilution skid. The latter workstation also serves to supply ready-made (diluted) buffers to a bioprocessing unit. The manifold is in fluid communication with the supply of concentrated buffer solution and is adapted to be placed in fluid communication with a source of water for injection (WFI). The inline dilution skid is configured to variably mix the supply of concentrated buffer solution and the source of WFI to obtain a range of diluted buffer solutions. Processes for automatically identifying the arrangement of buffer solutions in a bioprocessing application use signals from various sensors to identify the fluid connections between components of the system.

Abstract: Arrangement of the parts, particularly addressing arrangement for 3D fabrication, makes use of spatial frequency domain representations of the parts, such that acceptable (or optionally desirable) relative locations (and optionally orientations) of a part relative to another part or an arrangement of multiple other parts makes use of spatial frequency domain representations of the parts. In some examples, acceptable relative locations may be defined as relative locations that do not result in parts spatially overlapping and/or maintain a desired (e.g., minimum, average, etc.) separation between parts.

Abstract: An electronic device has pair(s) of conductive plates that is coupled to a housing and is electrically isolated by a dielectric material. The pair(s) of conductive plates is positioned to change relative orientation in relation to mechanical force that deforms the housing. Capacitive driver(s) is electrically coupled to pair(s) of conductive plates. A controller is communicatively coupled to the capacitive driver(s). The controller identifies a first capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates associated with the housing being in a normal state. The controller detects, via the capacitor driver(s), a change in capacitance from the first capacitance to a second capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates. The controller compares the change in capacitance to a threshold. In response to the change exceeding the threshold, the controller generates a notification.
