Abstract: A sensor arrangement for measuring liquid height in a tank can include a housing, a transducer, and a couplant. The housing can have an interior and an aperture, the aperture placing the interior of the housing in communication with the environment external to the housing. The transducer can be seated within the aperture. The couplant can be mechanically connected to the transducer and can have a compressible couplant body. The couplant body can extend between the transducer and the external environment for transmitting an acoustic pulse from the transducer to a tank bottom for measuring height of a liquid overlaying the transducer.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for performing automated measurements on medical images. In one example, a method includes acquiring a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image in accordance with a patient exam workflow, wherein the patient exam workflow calls for one or more measurements including a first measurement to be obtained on at least the first ultrasound image, automatically assessing whether the first ultrasound image is suitable for obtaining the first measurement during a time period where the second ultrasound image is being acquired, and if the first ultrasound image is automatically assessed as being unsuitable for obtaining the first measurement, automatically prompting the user, while the second ultrasound image is still being acquired, to reacquire the first ultrasound image.

Abstract: An integrated HOFS meander line polarizer radome including: a substrate including layers having a dielectric constant (dk) greater than 2.0 and less than 5.0; a Higher Order Floquet-mode Structure (HOFS) may include HOFS lines disposed in a first subset of the layers; and meander lines, to provide a phase shift and match, disposed in a second subset of the layers, where at least one layer of the first subset is disposed between the second subset of the layers.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of a prediction mode that combines an intra prediction and an inter prediction. The intra prediction is based on at least a first reference sample in the current picture, and the inter prediction is based on at least a second reference sample in a reference picture of the current picture. Further, the processing circuitry determines coding tools associated with the prediction mode that combines the intra prediction and the inter prediction and reconstruct at least a sample of the current block according to the determined coding tools associated with the prediction mode.

Abstract: The techniques described herein improve user interface consistency when presenting a guest application running on a guest operating system as if it were a native application running on a host operating system. Specifically, window placement limitations imposed by the guest operating system are overcome by coordinating size and location between the guest application and a host proxy application. When the proxy application is confined to a single display, the size and location of the guest application and corresponding proxy application are synchronized. When the proxy application is moved or resized so as to be rendered on multiple displays, the application hosting engine decouples the location synchronization, leaving the guest application within a single display. Before being forwarded to the guest application, user interface events received by the proxy application are adjusted according to the different locations of the guest application and the proxy application.

Abstract: An acceleration of a head of an occupant of a vehicle relative to the vehicle is determined based on data describing motion of the vehicle and respective poses of the head from a plurality of consecutive frames of image data. A vehicle suspension is adjusted based on the determined acceleration.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing online advertising data secure sharing. One method includes receiving, at a server, a request for proprietary data from a data consumer, the request including a data consumer identifier; retrieving, from a database of proprietary data, proprietary data based on the request; determining, by the server, whether the retrieved proprietary data is at least one of: designated to be processed and designated to have privileges set; processing, by the server, the proprietary data when the server determines the proprietary data is designated to be processed; setting one or more privileges to the proprietary data using the certificate associated with the data consumer identifier when the server determines the proprietary data is designated to have privileges set; encrypting the proprietary data using the certificate associated with the data consumer identifier; and transmitting the encrypted proprietary data to the data consumer.

Abstract: Beam forming antennas for base station applications are configured as dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) having arrays of dielectric resonator radiating elements (DRRE) therein with dual-polarized radiating properties. Each DRRE includes a dielectric radiating element (DRE) electromagnetically coupled by a resonant cavity to a respective cross-polarized feed network, which is responsive to first and second radio frequency (RF) input feed signals. Each resonant cavity may be configured as a polymer-filled resonant cavity, and each DRE may be configured as a cylindrically-shaped or dome-shaped dielectric radiating element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to utilizing a buffer management system to efficiently manage and deallocate memory buffers utilized by multiple processing roles on computer hardware devices. For example, the buffer management system utilizes distributed decentralized memory buffer monitoring in connection with augmented buffer pointers to deallocate memory buffers accurately and efficiently. In this manner, the buffer management system provides an efficient approach for multiple processing roles to consume source data stored in a memory buffer and to deallocate the buffer only after all roles have finished using it.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically restricting rendering of unauthorized content included in information resources are provided herein. A computing device can identify an information resource including a content object specifying one or more graphical characteristics. The computing device can determine that the content object corresponds to a restricted content object by applying at least one of an action-based detection policy to detect actions performed on the information resource or a visual-based detection policy to detect the graphical characteristics of the content object. The computing device can modify by applying a content rendering restriction policy the information resource to alter rendering of the content element on the information resource responsive to the determination.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for providing batch performance using a stream processor. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising detecting a real close of books (COB) of a data transport, the real COB associated with a set of raw events transmitted over the data transport, flushing a stream processor in response to detecting the real COB, and retrieving a set of processed events from a distributed file system after the flushing is complete. A fact COB computation is then performed on the set of processed events and the set of raw events, the fact COB computation outputting a number of missing events, each missing event representing a raw event that is not present in the set of processed events. The processed events are then certified upon determining that the number of missing events is below a threshold.
