Abstract: This disclosure describes an artificial reality system that presents artificial reality content or artificial reality effects based on, or in response to, interactions with one or more physical objects within a physical environment. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes determining that a user has performed a trigger action on a trigger object; responsive to determining that the user has performed the trigger action, generating artificial reality content; presenting the artificial reality content on a display associated with a head-mounted display; determining that the user has performed a de-trigger action; and responsive to determining that the user has performed the de-trigger action, discontinuing presentation of the artificial reality content.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.

Abstract: A medical information navigation engine (“MINE”) is capable of inferring referral activity not reported into a referral workflow system by utilizing intent-based clustering of medical information. The intent based clustering reconciles received medical data, from a variety of sources, and then clusters the data by applying one or more clustering rules. After the referrals not otherwise reported are inferred, they may be utilized to generate metrics that can be utilized to enhance patient care, and reduce costs. Metrics may be generated for both in-network and out-of-network referrals in order to distinguish differences in reporting activity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication with modulation using electromagnetic polarization. In some implementations, a device receives input data to transmit over a wireless communication channel, and the device has a (i) first antenna feed to receive signals for transmission with a first polarization and (ii) a second antenna feed to receive signals for transmission with a second polarization. The device modulates a radiofrequency carrier to generate modulated output that encodes a first subset of the input data, then upconverts the modulated output of the modulator to generate upconverted output. The device varies a polarization with which the upconverted output is transmitted based on a second subset of the input data, such that the input data is transmitted using both (i) modulation of the radiofrequency carrier signal and (ii) variation of the polarization with which the modulated signal is transmitted.

Abstract: In an aspect, data characterizing an instruction for an activation of an igniter and an operating mode of a smoke generator that includes the igniter can be received. A first amount of energy required for an ignition of a fuel source by the igniter can be determined based on the operating mode characterized by the received data. The igniter can be caused to activate based on the received data. A second amount of energy, output by the igniter over a period of time during which the igniter is activated, can be determined. A determination of whether the second amount of energy exceeds the first amount of energy can be made. The igniter can be caused to deactivate in response to a determination that the second amount of energy exceeds the first amount of energy. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Technologies for storing and accessing data from persisted data objects of an object-oriented system are provided. The disclosed techniques include a system that receives, a first request to perform an operation on data of data objects, where the data objects are capable of being persisted in a database. The system generates a second request by translating the first request from a first programming language to a second programming language. The system uses an object relational mapping data structure, which maps data object attributes to database properties, to map the second request parameters to corresponding database operation parameters. The system generates one or more database requests based on the corresponding database operation parameters and causes the one or more database requests to be executed on the database. The disclosed techniques describe creating and running a RESTful microservice to persist JSON objects in a relational database.

Abstract: A technique for real-time trailer utilization measurement includes a three-dimensional depth monitor operable to monitor loading of a trailer and a processor operable to determine trailer utilization in real-time during loading of the trailer using image information from the monitor. A graphical user interface can receive utilization information from the processor and display a visual representation of real-time loading of the trailer. Utilization is a ratio of cumulative package volume to currently loaded volume of the trailer, wherein the cumulative package volume is determined from dimensional scans of packages to be loaded in the trailer and the currently loaded volume is determined by the monitor.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques for the design and use of multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) units to perform matrix multiplication by systolic arrays, such as those used in accelerators for deep neural networks (DNNs). These MAC units may take advantage of the particular way in which matrix multiplication is performed within a systolic array. For example, when a matrix A is multiplied with a matrix B, the scalar value, a, of the matrix A is reused many times, the scalar value, b, of the matrix B may be streamed into the systolic array and forwarded to a series of MAC units in the systolic array, and only the final values and not the intermediate values of the dot products, computed for the matrix multiplication, may be correct. MAC unit hardware that is particularized to take advantage of these observations is described herein.
