Abstract: An aspect of the invention is directed to a system of both atmospheric and underwater sensors for measuring pressure waves from a noise source. A system of pressure sensors can be formed to determine the location of an external noise source, whether in air or underwater. The system includes at least two arrays consisting of pressure sensors, including at least one atmospheric pressure sensor and at least one underwater pressure sensor, such as a hydrophone. Each sensor may be a seven-fiber intensity modulated fiber optic pressure sensor. The system includes an analog to digital converter for digitizing the pressure data received from each sensor and a processor which processes the received signals to calculate an approximate location of the noise source based upon the pressure signals received by the sensors at different times of arrival. The system can provide this capability in remote applications due to its low power requirements.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a motion detection system detects gestures (e.g., human gestures) and initiates actions in response to the detected gestures. In some aspects, channel information is obtained based on wireless signals transmitted through a space by one or more wireless communication devices. A gesture recognition engine analyzes the channel information to detect a gesture (e.g., a predetermined gesture sequence) in the space. An action to be initiated in response to the detected gesture is identified. An instruction to perform the action is sent to a network-connected device associated with the space.

Abstract: A marker-coordinate detecting unit detects coordinates of a stent marker on a new image when the new image is stored in an image-data storage unit; and then a correction-image creating unit creates a correction image from the new image through, for example, image transformation processing, so as to match up the detected coordinates with reference coordinates that are coordinates of the stent marker already detected by the marker-coordinate detecting unit in a first frame.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a coordinated microservice system including a coordinator and multiple services, which interact with each other. Each of the services can have multiple execution instances, which run independently of each other. In operation, each instance of each service can use, or otherwise depend upon, one or more of the other services to perform at least some of its respective function(s). The coordinator monitors execution requests from each instance of the services to other services and calculates an available capacity of the other services upon which the requesting services depend to execute each of the execution requests based on the monitored performance metrics of the other services and level(s) of resource consumption associated with each of the execution requests. The coordinator then selects one of the execution requests based on the available capacity of the other services to service the execution requests without degrading the other services.
