Abstract: Camera control systems and methods for providing a dynamic view of the environment outside of a vehicle are presented. One or more cameras are configured to capture at least one view of the environment outside of the vehicle. Control circuitry detects at least one of the speed of the vehicle and the pitch angle of the vehicle (e.g., by using a speedometer and inclinometer). The control circuitry selects a view angle based on the at least one of the speed of the vehicle and the pitch angle of the vehicle. The control circuitry then displays, based on an output of the at least one camera, a view of the environment outside of the vehicle from the selected view angle on a display of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically concealing sensitive information in a shared screen session of a video conference are disclosed. The system may establish communication with one or more computing devices active in a video conference in which each computing device may switch between a screen share mode and a video mode. The system may determine that one or more articles of sensitive information are visible in a graphical user interface associated with a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices. The system may receive a first signal from the first computing device that indicates a first intent of a host associated with the first computing device to switch the screen share mode which includes sharing the first graphical user interface with the one or more computing devices during the video conference. In response to the first signal, the system may execute one or more privacy actions.

Abstract: This application is directed to a surveillance camera system including a magnet mount for physically receiving a camera module. The camera module includes a housing having an exterior surface of a first shape. A surface of the magnet mount has a second shape that is substantially concave and complementary to the first shape, and is configured to engage the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module. A magnetic material is disposed inside the magnet mount and configured to magnetically couple to a magnetic material of the camera module. A friction pad is embedded on the surface of the magnet mount, has a substantially concave shape and protrudes beyond the second surface. The friction pad is configured to come into contact with the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module at least via a peripheral edge of the substantially concave friction pad.

The rapid-entry shoe has a collapsed configuration in which a perimeter of the topline is expanded and an uncollapsed configuration in which the perimeter of the topline is unexpanded, and the rapid-entry shoe is biased by the rebounding portion toward the uncollapsed configuration.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for controlling a trajectory of a borehole being drilled into the earth are provided. The apparatus includes a drilling system including a drill tubular, a disintegrating device, and a steering system coupled to the drill tubular configured to steer the drilling system, the drilling system configured to drill the borehole by receiving control outputs from at least one control unit for controlling parameters of the drilling system, the at least one control unit configured to provide the control outputs to the steering system, the at least one control unit being configured to provide a depth-based control output.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronically controlled valve in each air distribution line for delivering product-conveying air to a boom section of an agricultural machine. The valves can be used to balance airflow between lines by controlling back pressure at the boom sections. In one aspect, an electronically controlled butterfly valve can be installed in each air line between a fan's plenum outlet and a dry product delivery meter. Each valve can be configured to allow some flow when in a closed position. This could be achieved, for example, by configuring a valve plate with a circular perimeter shape that has a smaller diameter than an inner diameter of the line or tube in which the valve plate is mounted.

Abstract: Described are methods of grain production with field conditioned pollen. A method of the present invention includes growing one or more designated female plants that include both female and male components, collecting fresh pollen from designated male plants from a different genetic background, and subjecting the fresh pollen to field conditions, which may regulate pollen moisture content. The field conditioning conditions may include a relative humidity ranging from about 50% to about 100%, a temperature ranging from about ?10-10° C., and an air pressure ranging from about 15 kPa to about 150 kPa. These conditions may result in pollen having a moisture content of about 40% to about 58%. The one or more designated female plants are intentionally cross-pollinated with the field conditioned pollen and then grown to maturity such that the grain may be harvested therefrom. Also provided is a method of preventing undesirable pollination in grain production.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a system and a method for providing an artificial reality. In one aspect, a system includes a shared physical memory and a first processor having access to the shared physical memory. In one aspect, the first processor performs, during a first time period, a first rendering process to generate a first image frame of a first view of an artificial reality. In one aspect, the first processor performs, during a second time period, a second rendering process to generate a second image frame of a second view of the artificial reality. In one aspect, the system includes a second processor including a neural network and having access to the shared physical memory. In one aspect, the second processor performs, during a third time period overlapping a portion of the second time period, an image enhancing process on the first image frame.

Abstract: A method is used in analyzing a storage system using a machine learning system. Data gathered from information associated with operations performed in a storage system is analyzed. The storage system is comprised of a plurality of components. A bitmap image is created based on the gathered data, where at least one of the plurality of components is represented in the bitmap image. The machine learning system is trained using the bitmap image, where the bitmap image is organized to depict the plurality of components of the storage system.

Abstract: A solid-state memory may have many non-individually erasable memory cells arranged into dies with each die having a first plane and a second plane. Receipt of a single read command from a host connected to the solid-state memory can prompt generation of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage by the controller to produce asynchronous data retrieval. The reference voltages can be different and selected by the controller to induce a predetermined delay between retrieval of data from the first plane and retrieval of data from the second plane from the single read command. Passage of each reference voltage concurrently to a common single data address of the first plane and the second plane may produce asynchronous retrieval of data from the respective first plane and second plane.
