Abstract: A system for dark current compensation in SPAD imagery is configurable to capture an image frame with the SPAD array and generate a temporally filtered image by performing a temporal filtering operation using the image frame and at least one preceding image frame. The at least one preceding image frame is captured by the SPAD array at a timepoint that temporally precedes a timepoint associated with the image frame. The system is also configurable to obtain a dark current image frame. The dark current image frame includes data indicating one or more SPAD pixels of the plurality of SPAD pixels that detect an avalanche event without detecting a corresponding photon. The system is also configurable to generate a dark current compensated image by performing a subtraction operation on the temporally filtered image or the image frame based on the dark current image frame.

Abstract: An end-to-end service delivery system provides customers representing mobile network and enterprise operators with an online repository for services that are created from virtual network functions, and which are available from multiple service creators and operable across infrastructure underlying the customer's software-defined networking-based mobile network including diverse private, public, and hybrid cloud platforms. The network functions delivery system provides a user interface (UI) exposing a catalog of differentiated services of varying types. When the customer selects a service from the catalog, the service delivery system uses an installation engine to deploy the selected service on the customer's mobile network. The system provides a lifecycle management and orchestration engine that orchestrates the deployed service on an end-to-end basis across domains and network platforms.

Abstract: An iridocorneal angle of the eye can be opened with a plurality of treatment locations at least about 2 mm radially outward from a limbus of the eye. The opening on the angle can be beneficial for treating both narrow angle glaucoma and open angle glaucoma. The plurality of treatment locations located away from the limbus can decrease invasiveness and complexity of the procedure. The plurality of treatment locations at least about 2 mm away from the limbus can provide tensioning to zonules coupled to the lens of the eye to flatten the lens of the eye, which can allow the iris to move posteriorly so as to open the iridocorneal angle. The plurality of treatment locations may comprise scleral locations, in which shrinkage of scleral tissue at the plurality of treatment locations provides tensioning to the zonules.

Abstract: A barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, and a tracking system that tracks and records the locations of road barriers as they are placed on a road surface so that the last locations of the barriers can be established for evidentiary purposes and/or for alerting operators or others of mis-positioned road barriers.

Abstract: Neural network-based categorization can be improved by incorporating graph neural networks that operate on a graph representing the taxonomy of the categories into which a given input is to be categorized by the neural network based-categorization. The output of a graph neural network, operating on a graph representing the taxonomy of categories, can be combined with the output of a neural network operating upon the input to be categorized, such as through an interaction of multidimensional output data, such as a dot product of output vectors. In such a manner, information conveying the explicit relationships between categories, as defined by the taxonomy, can be incorporated into the categorization. To recapture information, incorporate new information, or reemphasize information a second neural network can also operate upon the input to be categorized, with the output of such a second neural network being merged with the output of the interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a supply of gas cylinders in a gas cylinder storage cage, such as identifying a number of full gas cylinders and a number of empty gas cylinders, and/or a total number of gas cylinders present in the gas cylinder storage cage, and displaying the determined numbers to a user. In one embodiment, a method includes: transmitting distance measurement data from a sensor within a gas cylinder storage cage to a control system of a cage monitoring system; determining, with the control system, whether a gas cylinder is present at a sensing location within the gas cylinder storage cage proximate the sensor; and when the control system determines that a gas cylinder is present at the sensing location, determining, with the control system, whether the gas cylinder is full or empty.

Abstract: Replication of data from a primary computing system to a secondary computing system. The replication is single-threaded or multi-threaded depending on one or more characteristics of the data to be replicated. As an example, the characteristics could include the type of data being replicated and/or the variability on that data. Also, the multi-threading capabilities of the primary and secondary computing systems are determined. Then, based on the identified one or more characteristics of the data, the primary computing system decides whether to perform multi-threaded replication and the multi-threading parameters of the replication based on the one or more characteristics of that data, as well as on the multi-threading capabilities of the primary and secondary computing system.

Abstract: Transmedia scheduling systems and methods are described in which a user interface is generated via a channel engine that includes first and second channels. The channels are based on one or more channel templates stored in a channel database, and are preferably populated with concurrent transmedia stories. Each of the transmedia stories can be based on at least one transmedia object stored in a transmedia database and may be dynamically generated.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing automated robocall detection. In various embodiments, a computing system may compare first abstracted raw data, obtained from a portion of call data from a first call from a first originating party, with each of a plurality of abstracted raw data, obtained from portions of call data from a plurality of calls from a corresponding plurality of originating parties. In some instances, the plurality of abstracted raw data and the first abstracted raw data may each include at least one of word count data, phoneme count data, inter-word timing data, voice pitch estimation data, and/or background noise data. The computing system may determine whether the first abstracted raw data is indicative of the first call being a suspected unsolicited or unwanted communication, based at least in part on the comparison. If so, the computing system may perform one or more tasks.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an animated notification indicator, which may be used to provide an indication of a notification. The animated notification indicator may be less distracting than displaying the notification itself, while, compared to a static indicator, the animated notification indicator may have a higher likelihood of catching the user's attention. The indicator may be animated for a predetermined amount of time, after which it may transition to a static indicator. Interaction with the indicator may display an associated notification, perform an associated action, or present a notification preview and/or set of quick actions, among other examples. In some instances, a context associated with the user's computing device may be processed by a notification platform, and the notification may thus be determined remotely. As a result, the animated notification indicator may be presented at the user's computing device as a result of such a remote determination.

Abstract: A friction-based therapeutic light penile device is configured to provide light therapy to the penis when in an erect state to more effectively ensure penetration of the emitted therapeutic light into the penis as the skin tissue is thinner. The device forms a sleeve for insertion of the erect penis and a friction material for arousal to maintain the erection during therapy. The light devices may be configured proximal to an outer rigid shell and emit light through an elastomeric friction material. The light devices may be configured to heat the friction material for further arousal and a vibratory device may further enhance arousal. The therapeutic light may be a specific wavelength of light, such as a blue, red and/or infrared. A testicular flange may extend from the sleeve and have light devices for the scrotum and testicles. The elastomeric material may form an insertion flange that is vagina shaped.
