Abstract: A system and method for execution context processing with addressable universal data location that can address, process, and standardize data contained in different types of memory structures is presented. The present disclosure provides for an addressable data locator system called an Execution Context Property Path (XPP) that can access a ‘property’ within a ‘Property Collection,’ a ‘property’ within a graph of nested ‘Property Collections,’ or a ‘property’ within an array of ‘Property Collections.’ An execution context is a dynamic system that can change the processing logic and data requirements of functions at runtime by passing a ‘function’ a reference to an ‘execution context’ object and have the function retrieve the data items it needs through the ‘execution context’ object. For example, when new ‘input data’ is received on a listener, the listener can spawn a new thread and an ‘execution context’ object to manage the processing of the ‘input data.

Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to extract a feature of an object viewable in a scene captured by a camera at a first perspective. The instructions can also be to transform the scene from the first perspective to a second perspective based on a parameter generated responsive to (a) a reconstruction of the scene from the first perspective based on the scene from the second perspective, and (b) an adjustment of the parameter to minimize differences between the extracted feature and a representation of the extracted feature reconstructed based on the second perspective. The instructions can also be to determine a depth of the extracted feature with respect to the camera based on the parameter and to determine the pose of the object based on the determined depth.

Abstract: A technology for the optimized capturing of resource file content for resources referred in recorded user interaction sequences is disclosed. Individual resource files are typically referred in multiple recorded resources, therefore it is desired to capture those resources only once and reuse them for all recorded session capturing them. As user interaction sequences are executed and captured in independently operating web-browsers, a direct coordination between recording web-browsers to avoid multiple captures of the same resource is not possible. Data about the global resource capturing and demand situation is generated on a monitoring server that receives all session recording data and transferred to session recording browsers in form of lists identifying resources that are referred in sessions but are still unresolved and should therefore be captured, and for resources that should not captured, because they are already available and capturing them again should be avoided.

Abstract: A microlens array comprises an array of microlenses on a flat base. A spacer located along the periphery of the microlens array protrudes away from the plane of the base. The microlens array may be arranged in combination with one or more LEDs or pcLEDs with the spacer positioned between the microlens array and the LEDs or pcLEDs and thus spacing the microlenses away from the LED or pcLEDs. Arranged in this manner, the surface of the microlens array facing the LEDs or pcLEDs and light emitting surfaces of the LEDs or pcLEDs together define an air filled or evacuated gap between the microlens array and the LEDs or pcLEDs, which improves the performance of the microlens array in collimating or partially collimating light emitted by the LEDs or pcLEDs.

Abstract: In some embodiments, reducing utilization of computational resources associated with segmenting datasets via a cluster-ensemble model may be facilitated. In some embodiments, the system may receive a raw dataset having a first dimension. The system may then embed the raw dataset into an embedded dataset having a second dimension, where the embedded dataset comprises a vector embedding. The system may then provide the embedded dataset to a set of clustering models to generate a set of clusters, where each cluster of the set of clusters corresponds to a respective clustering model of the set of clustering models. The system may provide the set of clusters to a cluster-ensemble model to generate a set of ensemble-clusters. Based on the set of ensemble-clusters, the system may generate a set of data segments corresponding to the set of ensemble-clusters indicating at least one characteristic of a respective ensemble-cluster of the set of ensemble-clusters.

Abstract: Conventional vehicle lifts typically operate at a standard speed that is statically configured for the system, which may result in vehicles that are below the weight rating for the lift being raised at the standard speed while the lift motor is capable of safely raising at greater speeds. A set of lift controls may be configured to determine the load on the motor by a vehicle of an unknown weight during operation at a standard lift speed and use such information to determine a potential speed that the motor may raise the vehicle at while staying within safe operational levels for the motor. One or more of a magnitude of electrical power drawn, a pressure generated by a hydraulic lifting, or a sensed vehicle weight may be used to provide an indication of load on the motor and/or a higher potential speed.
