Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include capturing, via a headset microphone of a speaker's artificial reality device, voice input of a speaker in communication with a listener in an artificial reality environment. The method may include detecting a pose of the speaker within the artificial reality environment and determining a position of the speaker relative to a position of the listener within the artificial reality environment. The method may further include processing, based on the pose and the relative position of the speaker within the artificial reality environment, the voice input to create a directivity-attuned voice signal for the listener, and delivering the directivity-attuned voice signal to an artificial reality device of the listener. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Abstract: Systems and methods for performing backups including incremental backups are provided. A change log is provided. The change log includes a map file that includes a bit for each inode in a file system. The bits are set on certain file events. The map file allows the files to be included in the next backup to be identified without having to trawl the entire file system. The change log also includes a data file that lists actual changes to the various files in corresponding records that are indexed by the inode number. The change log can enable faster incremental backups in part by eliminating unnecessary disk access requests.
Abstract: A vehicle headlamp system includes a vehicle supported power and control system including a data bus. A sensor module can be connected to the data bus to provide information related to environmental conditions or information relating to presence and position of other vehicles and pedestrians. A separate headlamp controller can be connected to the vehicle supported power and control system and the sensor module through the bus. The headlamp controller can include an image frame buffer that can refresh held images at greater than 30 Hz speed. An active LED pixel array can be connected to the headlamp controller to project light according to a pattern and intensity defined by the image held in the image frame buffer and a standby image buffer can be connected to the image frame buffer to hold a default image.

Abstract: An information processing method that includes acquiring access information related to an access performed via an interface, the access information including an action identifier of an action to be executed via the interface, a response identifier for an execution result of the action, and an interface identifier of the interface. The method further includes determining, based on the action identifier, the response identifier, and the interface identifier, a target access identifier corresponding to the access information. The method further includes determining, based on the access information, time information associated with the access. The method further includes storing the target access identifier and the time information in an associated manner. Through this method, the recorded amount of data information is reduced, and disk space requirements and network transmission loads are lowered.

A method may include aligning an apparatus to an imaging device. The apparatus may include a set of wells defined by a first layer coupled to a second layer. The first layer may be substantially transparent to infrared radiation. The second layer may define a channel. The second layer may be substantially absorbent to the infrared radiation. The apparatus may further include a third layer coupled to the second layer and define an opening configured to receive a fluid. The third layer may be substantially transparent to the infrared radiation. A set of images of the apparatus may be generated using the imaging device. Bonding information may be generated based on the set of images.
Abstract: File metadata of a virtual machine can be generated when performing a backup of a virtual machine. A backup copy of the virtual machine and the file metadata can be stored in a backup storage system. The file metadata can be retrieved from the storage system in a manner that is decoupled from the performance of the backup of the virtual machine. The file metadata can be used for searching for files within the backup copy of the virtual machine.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing backup operations for data packets by a backup agent is provided. The apparatus predicts a first backup time period of completing a first backup operation for the data packets and determines a second backup time period of performing the first backup operation until the first backup operation is stopped at a point of time. The apparatus also identifies an incomplete status of the first backup operation at the point of time based on a comparison between the first backup time period and the second backup time period, and collects information describing the incomplete status. The apparatus further starts a second backup operation for the data packets from the incomplete status based on the information.

Abstract: A system and method for forecasting the sales of a new item, i.e., one with no historical sales data, is presented. Two matrices are presented, a feature matrix and a sales matrix. The matrices are divided into training matrices and prediction matrices. The training matrices are decomposed, then regression analysis is performed to determine the weight of various columns of the training feature matrix. Thereafter, the weights could be used on the training prediction matrix to predict sales. The sales predictions can be used to order SKUs for a retailer or distributor. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
Abstract: A preform for fabricating a wheel rim and a method of making a preform is provided. The preform includes a main section and at least one secondary section, each section being formed from composite materials, such as triaxially braided composite material that includes fibers oriented in at least three directions. The main section forms at least part of a lateral section of the preform and the secondary section forms at least part of a radial portion of the preform, the radial portion of the preform being generally perpendicular to the lateral section of the preform. The preform is fabricated from a plurality of composite layers, at least some being custom composite layers having a plurality of axial fibers interwoven intermittently with substantially consistent first and second sets of biased fibers. In some embodiments, the preform is initially fabricated in an intermediate configuration prior to being moved to a final configuration.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are neural networks for generating target classifications for an object from a set of input sequences. Each input sequence includes a respective input at each of multiple time steps, and each input sequence corresponds to a different sensing subsystem of multiple sensing subsystems. For each time step in the multiple time steps and for each input sequence in the set of input sequences, a respective feature representation is generated for the input sequence by processing the respective input from the input sequence at the time step using a respective encoder recurrent neural network (RNN) subsystem for the sensing subsystem that corresponds to the input sequence. For each time step in at least a subset of the multiple time steps, the respective feature representations are processed using a classification neural network subsystem to select a respective target classification for the object at the time step.
