Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to animating subtle physiological processes directly on avatars and photos. That is, physiologically-grounded spatial, color space, and temporal modifications may be made to the appearance of an avatar to simulate a physiological characteristic, such as blood flow. More specifically, a frame of a video sequence and a physiological signal may be received. An attention mask may be generated based on the received physiological signal, where the attention mask includes attention weights indicative of a strength of the physiological signal for differing portions of the frame of the video sequence. Accordingly, a pixel adjustment value based on the physiological signal and the attention mask may be generated and applied to an identified pixel in the frame of the video sequence.

Abstract: System, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product are disclosed for detecting the authenticity of an image file transferred from a device to a server based on an image authenticity detection configuration determined by a server application. A device application is operated by a device, and a server application is operated by a server. The device application sends, to the server application, user data, device data, or environment data. The server application determines an image authenticity detection configuration to indicate one or more parameters to be used by the device to generate a first image file, and authorized changes to be made to the first image file to generate a second image file. The device application sends the second image file to the server application. The server application detects whether the received second image file contains changes matching authorized changes indicated by the image authenticity detection configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for multi-antenna communication. The UE first receives a first radio signal, and then monitors a first signaling set in a first time-frequency resource set; the first radio signal is used for determining that physical layer signaling(s) corresponding to the first signaling set may occupy any of X1 first-type RE sets. In the first time-frequency resource set at most X2 blind detections are performed in the first signaling set, the X2 blind detections are respectively for X2 second-type RE sets, the X2 second-type RE sets are respectively X2 first-type RE sets of the X1 first-type RE sets.

Abstract: Provided herein are examples of a remote control device that provides a retrofit solution for an existing switched control system. The remote control device may comprise a control circuit, a rotatable portion, a magnetic ring coupled to the rotatable portion, and first and second Hall-effect sensor circuits configured to generate respective first and second sensor control signals in response to magnetic fields generated by the magnetic elements. The control circuit may operate in a normal mode when the rotatable portion is being rotated, and in a reduced-power mode when the rotatable portion is not being rotated. The control circuit may disable the second Hall-effect sensor circuit in the reduced-power mode. The control circuit may detect movement of the rotatable portion in response to the first sensor control signal in the reduced-power mode and enable the second Hall-effect sensor circuit in response to detecting movement of the rotatable portion.

Abstract: To overcome a shortage of area for horizontal metal lines to connect word line switch transistors to corresponding word lines and for pass through signal lines, it is proposed to implement multiple architectures for the word line hook up regions. For example, some areas of a die will be designed to provide extra horizontal metal lines to connect word line switch transistors to word lines and other areas of the die will be designed to provide extra pass through signal lines.

Abstract: A vehicular monitoring system (5) has a plurality of sensors (20, 30) that are used to sense the presence of objects (15) around a vehicle (10, 52) for detecting collision threats. At least one of the sensors is positioned such that a portion of the vehicle is at a predefined location relative to the sensor and is within the sensor's field of view. As an example, for an aircraft, a sensor may be positioned such that a portion of the aircraft's wing, aerospike, or other structure is within the sensor's field of view. The system is configured to automatically calibrate the sensor and, if desired, other sensors using the portion of the vehicle at the predefined location.

Abstract: A cooking rack system for placement in a container or kitchen sink, the cooking rack including spaced hollow members with openings therealong and spaced support members extending between the spaced hollow members along the lengths of the hollow members.

Abstract: A dual omnidirectional microphone array noise suppression is described. Compared to conventional arrays and algorithms, which seek to reduce noise by nulling out noise sources, the array of an embodiment is used to form two distinct virtual directional microphones which are configured to have very similar noise responses and very dissimilar speech responses. The only null formed is one used to remove the speech of the user from V2. The two virtual microphones may be paired with an adaptive filter algorithm and VAD algorithm to significantly reduce the noise without distorting the speech, significantly improving the SNR of the desired speech over conventional noise suppression systems.

Abstract: A wireless device receives a sidelink control information (SCI) that may schedule a transport block and may also indicate a first repetition value. The wireless device may also receive a transport block via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). Based on a comparison of the first repetition value received via the SCI and a repetition threshold, the wireless device may determine to transmit an acknowledgment for the received transport block. The wireless device may then transmit the acknowledgment for the received transport block.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A wireless device may receive configuration parameters of a plurality of cells.

The bottom wall is substantially tangential to a lower portion of the shroud.

A wireless device may determine to use a resource (e.g., PUCCH resource), indicated by control information (e.g., DCI), for sending an acknowledgement (e.g., HARQ-ACK feedback) of a reception of data (e.g., at least one transport block). The control information may be received in a message of a plurality of messages. The wireless device may select the control information (e.g., for determining the resource) from among other control information in the plurality of messages, based on one or more factors.
