Abstract: A method and system for obtaining and analyzing ECG waveforms from a patient is disclosed. Initially, a recommendation for obtaining an ECG waveform from a patient is issued, typically from a cardiologist. An ECG recording device is used to obtain ECG data from the patient. The recording device generates patient identification information, time and date information and an initial analysis that are included in a log delivered along with the ECG data to an analysis server. The analysis server generates a recommended action for the patient, which is delivered to the recording device while the patient is still present at the recording device. The recording device can then carry out the recommended action and provide the results for analysis by the cardiologist. The analysis server can utilize artificial intelligence/machine learning to generate the recommended action for the patient without having to involve the cardiologist, thereby reducing the number of visits for the treatment of the patient.

Abstract: A motor vehicle having a combustion engine for vehicle propulsion can be automatically stopped when engine propulsion is not needed, such as during a gliding condition when the vehicle is coasting down to a slower speed (e.g., stopping) or down an incline. The engine is automatically restarted as needed. To ensure a capacity of a battery or other electrical storage device to support nominal operation of electrical loads (including a starter motor for restarting the engine) during an Auto Stop event, predicted future states of a vehicle battery are determined using a battery state of function (SOF) in response to load transients that may need to be supported.

Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to computing systems and methods for hand tracking using a machine-learned system for palm detection and key-point localization of hand landmarks. In particular, example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a multi-model hand tracking system that performs both palm detection and hand landmark detection. Given a sequence of image frames, for example, the hand tracking system can detect one or more palms depicted in each image frame. For each palm detected within an image frame, the machine-learned system can determine a plurality of hand landmark positions of a hand associated with the palm. The system can perform key-point localization to determine precise three-dimensional coordinates for the hand landmark positions. In this manner, the machine-learned system can accurately track a hand depicted in the sequence of images using the precise three-dimensional coordinates for the hand landmark positions.

Abstract: Embodiments describe a vehicle configured with a brain machine interface (BMI) for a vehicle computing system to control vehicle functions using electrical impulses from motor cortex activity in a user's brain. A BMI training system trains the BMI device to interpret neural data generated by a motor cortex of a user and correlate the neural data to a vehicle control command associated with a neural gesture emulation function. A BMI system onboard the vehicle may receive a neural data feed of neural data from the user using the trained BMI device, determine, a user intention for a control instruction to control a vehicle infotainment system using the neural data feed, and perform an action based on the control instruction. The vehicle may further include a headrest configured as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) device that reads the electrical impulses without invasive electrode connectivity.

Abstract: Presented are hybrid metal and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite wheels for vehicle wheel assemblies, methods for making/using such wheels, and motor vehicles equipped with such wheels. A wheel for a motor vehicle wheel assembly includes a wheel face with multiple spokes that are circumferentially spaced about and project radially outward from a central hub. The central hub rotatably attaches to the vehicle's body, e.g., via a corner module. The wheel face is fabricated, e.g., as a one-piece structure, from an FRP material. A wheel barrel, which circumscribes the wheel face, includes an annular rim that mounts thereon an inflatable tire. The wheel barrel is fabricated, e.g., as a one-piece structure, from a metallic material. Multiple overmold through holes and/or inset tabs are circumferentially spaced about the annular rim. The FRP material extends through and/or surrounds the overmold through holes/inset tabs and thereby mounts the wheel face to the wheel barrel.

Abstract: Technology is described for assisting a user in identifying relevant participants to a communication session. The technology detects that the user has interacted with a user interface (UI) presentation in a specified manner. The technology then receives context information that describes the current context of the user's interaction. The technology uses the context information to interrogate a graph to identify one or more candidate participants that may be added to the communication session. The technology then generates a UI collaboration pane for presentation on the UI presentation. The UI collaboration pane provides a mechanism by which the user can add one or more of the candidate participants to the communication session without disrupting the user's focus on a task at hand, and with minimal user interface actions required by the user. Further, the UI collaboration pane gives the user plural options to establish communication with the candidate participants.

Abstract: Location based wagering method sand systems. An online wagering service can be invoked via a mobile device. A determination can be then made regarding the location of the mobile device and a jurisdiction (e.g., state, county, city, etc.) associated with that location. The mobile device and hence a user can be authorized to access the online wagering service based on the location of the mobile device. Based on the location, it can also be determined if use of the online wagering service is allowed in the jurisdiction along with prescribed limitations of use in that jurisdiction. Wagering options are then presented via the mobile device, which conform to the laws and/or regulations of the jurisdiction.

Abstract: Described herein are poly(ether ketone ketone) (“PEKK”) polymers having improved processability. It was surprisingly discovered that by selectively controlling the relative amounts of reactants during the synthesis, PEKK polymers having unexpectedly lower melt viscosities can be obtained. More particularly, by selectively controlling the relative amounts of monomers used to form recurring units of the PEKK polymer, in conjunction with selective control of other reaction components, the resulting PEKK polymers had reduced viscosities, relative to PEKK polymers synthesized by using tradition reaction schemes (“traditional PEKK polymers”). By providing PEKK polymers with lower melt viscosities, the PEKK polymers described herein have improved processability.
