Abstract: [Object] The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method that enable more flexible operations to be performed. [Solving Means] A reception apparatus receives a content transmitted in an IP transmission system, acquires, based on first control information that is transmitted in a first layer in a protocol stack of the IP transmission system and includes information indicating whether second control information transmitted in a second layer higher than the first layer exists, the second control information, and controls operations of units that process the content based on the second control information. The present technology is applicable to television receivers supporting the IP transmission system.

Abstract: An imaging directional backlight apparatus includes a waveguide and a light source array, providing large area directed illumination from localized light sources. The waveguide may include a stepped structure, and the steps may further include extraction features optically hidden to guided light, propagating in a forward direction. Returning light propagating in a backward direction may be refracted, diffracted, or reflected by the features to provide discrete illumination beams exiting from the top surface of the waveguide. Viewing windows are formed through imaging individual light sources and define the relative positions of system elements and ray paths. The imaging directional backlight apparatus further includes a control system for controlling the light output directional distribution in an automotive or vehicle environment in dependence on the output from sensors mounted on the vehicle.

Abstract: The system and method described herein may use various natural language models to deliver targeted advertisements and/or provide natural language processing based on advertisements. In one implementation, an advertisement associated with a product or service may be provided for presentation to a user. A natural language utterance of the user may be received. The natural language utterance may be interpreted based on the advertisement and, responsive to the existence of a pronoun in the natural language utterance, a determination of whether the pronoun refers to one or more of the product or service or a provider of the product or service may be effectuated.

Abstract: A shallow bed solvent extractor comprises at least one moving bed having upstream and downstream ends and a feed inlet positioned adjacent to the upstream end, wherein a first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material is introducible to the at least one moving bed through the feed inlet. An outlet is positioned adjacent to the downstream end, wherein the first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material is carried on the at least one moving bed and exits the extractor through the outlet. A drive system is operatively connected to the at least one moving bed. The shallow bed solvent extractor further comprises a plurality of sprayers disposed above the upstream and downstream ends of the at least one moving bed and a non-polar solvent. The plurality of sprayers spray the first batch of wet cannabinoid and terpene containing material with the non-polar solvent.

Abstract: Various techniques for theft proofing autonomous driving vehicles (ADV) for transporting goods are described. In one embodiment, sensor data of a moving object representing a person within a predetermined proximity of an ADV are captured for real-time analysis by a theft detection module, to determine a moving behavior of the moving object based on the sensor data in view of a set of known moving behaviors. The theft detection module further determines whether an intention of the person is likely to remove at least some of the goods from the ADV using a process derived from historical image set, and sends an alarm to a predetermined destination in response to determining such an intention of the person. Other sensor data, for example, real time movements and weights of the ADV, can be used in conjunction with the process derived from historical image sets to determine the intention of the person.

Abstract: A wild game call includes a bugle tube and a damper. The bugle tube includes a first end with a first aperture, a second end with a second aperture, and a wall extending from the first end to the second end. The wall defines an interior volume, and the first aperture and the second aperture provide access to the interior volume such that a flow path is defined through the bugle tube from the first end, through the second end, and out the second end. The bugle tube includes a metal and is configured to generate sound waves by vibrating responsive to air flowing along the flow path. The damper surrounds the outer surface of the wall of the bugle tube between the first end and the second end and may reduce unwanted ringing while improving the sound of the bugle call.

Abstract: A system for increasing satisfaction of a passenger in a vehicle having an automated driving system structured to operate the autonomous vehicle may include a first sensor structured to detect a driving environment of the vehicle, the first sensor being operably coupled to the automated driving system; a processor operably coupled to the first sensor and the automated driving system, the processor being structured to calculate a vehicle path plan based on the driving environment of the vehicle and local infrastructure information; and a display operably coupled to the first sensor, the processor, and the automated driving system. The processor may be structured to control the display to display a graphical representation of the driving environment of the vehicle and the vehicle path plan.

Abstract: An outlet for a forced air system of a vehicle comprising: a primary air flow chamber; a secondary air flow chamber adjacent the primary air flow chamber; an air flow diverter between the primary air flow chamber and the secondary air flow chamber that diverts a portion of air flow from the primary air flow chamber and into the secondary air flow chamber, with the diverted portion of the air flow flowing back into the primary air flow chamber; and a tray configured to retain an aromatic agent, the tray movable into and out of the secondary air flow chamber to selectively place the aromatic agent in contact with air flowing through the secondary air flow chamber to aromatize the air before flowing back into the primary air flow chamber.

Abstract: A disclosed tailgate hinge clip is mountable within a gap between a tailgate and a cargo bed and provides a surface for engaging a seal. The disclosed tailgate hinge clip includes a main body portion including a seal surface and a clip portion extending from the main body portion.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper evident feature which includes a base and lid joined by a flexible hinge having a tamper evident tab. The base and a lid are hingedly connected to each other via a hinge part and so interlocked form-locking latched that in the closed state. The hinge consists of a flat in the open state of the package, in which a substantially U-shaped tab separating lines of weakness to the outer edge of the flat area.

Abstract: A composition comprising a synthetic growth factor analogue comprising a non-growth factor heparin binding region, a linker and a sequence that binds specifically to a cell surface receptor and an osteoconductive material where the synthetic growth factor analogue is attached to and can be released from the osteoconductive material and is an amplifier/co-activator of osteoinduction.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of tissue regeneration. It concerns more particularly new standardizations and medical devices for the preparation of A-PRP, PRP, BMC, fat tissue, alone or in combination with a biomaterial or cell extract.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for reclassifying content in an online service. One method includes an operation for classifying a content item, to be presented on an online service, as low-quality or approved. The method further includes an operation for storing, in a content database of the online service, the content item with a content certification record (CCR). The CCR includes a result of the classifying of the content item, a content classification platform signature (CCPS), and a content signature. Further, the method includes operations for detecting a trigger for determining if the content item has to be reclassified, and for checking if the item needs to be reclassified. The checking includes comparing the CCPS in the CCR to a latest CCPS and comparing the content signature in the CCR to a current content signature of the content item. The content item is reclassified based on the checking.
