The magnetographic camera may measure a spatial distribution of magnetic field produced by a sample that may be stationary in time or may dynamically vary with time. The magnetographic camera may include a magnetic field detector housing containing a vapor cell. The magnetographic camera may include a laser light source to illuminate the vapor cell causing a magnetic field image of a sample to be generated.

Abstract: A computing system may receive an image captured by a camera, and determine based on (1) one or more regions in the image that include a portion of a body of a user, and (2) a camera pose of the camera, a three-dimensional volume constraint that stems from the camera pose in which an elbow of the user is likely to be located. The system may infer, based on at least the three-dimensional volume constraint, an elbow pose of the user, wherein the elbow pose includes a location associated with an elbow of the user in three-dimensional space. The system may determine the location associated with the elbow is outside the three-dimensional volume constraint, and in response to the determination, adjust the inferred elbow pose. The system may generate, based on the adjusted elbow pose, a body pose of the user that includes at least the adjusted elbow pose.

Abstract: Methods of identifying corner case simulation scenarios that are used to train an autonomous vehicle motion planning model are disclosed. A system selects a scene that includes data captured by one or more vehicles over a time period. The data includes one or more actors that the vehicle's sensors perceived over the time period in a real-world environment. The system selects a scene that includes a safety threshold violation, and it identifies the trajectory of an actor that participated in the violation. The system generates simulated scenes that alter the trajectory of the actor in the selected scene, selects simulated scenes that are more likely to occur in the real world and that may include safety threshold violations that go beyond any that may be found in the original scene, and uses the selected simulated scenes to train an autonomous vehicle motion planning model.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that enable low-power radar. The described techniques enable a radar system to reduce overall power consumption, thereby facilitating incorporation and utilization of the radar system within power-limited devices. Power consumption is reduced through customization of the transmission or processing of radar signals within the radar system. During transmission, different duty cycles, transmit powers, or framing structures can be utilized to collect appropriate data based on detected activity in an external environment. During processing, different hardware or different radar pipelines can be utilized to appropriately analyze the radar data. Instead of disabling the radar system, the described techniques enable the radar system to continuously monitor a dynamic environment and maintain responsiveness while conserving power.

Abstract: A system for updating continuous image alignment of separate cameras identifies a previous alignment matrix associated with a previous frame pair captured at one or more previous timepoints by a reference camera and a match camera. The previous alignment matrix is based on visual correspondences in the previous frame pair. The system also identifies a current matrix associated with a current frame pair captured at one or more current timepoints by the reference camera and the match camera. The current matrix is based on visual correspondences in the current frame pair. The system also identifies a difference value associated with the reference camera or the match camera relative to the one or more previous timepoints and the one or more current timepoints. The system also generates an updated alignment matrix by using the previous alignment matrix, the current matrix, and the difference value as inputs.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring logical routers of a logical network. The logical routers are implemented in a Kubernetes cluster as a first set of Pods that each perform logical forwarding operations for the logical routers and a second set of Pods that each perform L7 service operations for a respective logical router. From a Kubernetes control plane component, the method receives a notification that the first set requires scaling to include an additional Pod. The first-set Pods process data messages between the logical network and external networks. Within the network management system, the method defines at least one new interface for processing data messages between the logical network and external networks. The method configures the at least one interface on the additional Pod to communicate with external physical routers to receive traffic from the external networks and send traffic to the external networks.

Abstract: Training and/or utilizing a single neural network model to generate, at each of a plurality of assistant turns of a dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, a corresponding automated assistant natural language response and/or a corresponding automated assistant action. For example, at a given assistant turn of a dialog session, both a corresponding natural language response and a corresponding action can be generated jointly and based directly on output generated using the single neural network model. The corresponding response and/or corresponding action can be generated based on processing, using the neural network model, dialog history and a plurality of discrete resources. For example, the neural network model can be used to generate a response and/or action on a token-by-token basis.
