Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for measuring glycated A1c hemoglobin. A glycated hemoglobin level measuring system includes a sample testing apparatus having a microchannel that compresses a blood sample traveling through, a first pair of electrodes coupled to the microchannel, and a second pair of electrodes coupled to the microchannel. The glycated hemoglobin level measuring system further includes an analysis apparatus having sensors coupled to the first and second pairs of electrodes and configured to calculate a travel time taken by a red blood cell to pass through the first and second pairs of electrodes. The glycated hemoglobin level measuring system can use the travel time to measure a rigidity of the red blood cells and the corresponding glycated hemoglobin level.

Abstract: A permanent data indicator and managing and adapting methods are provided. In particular, the permanent indicator is a pictogram permanently present on a screen of a terminal in active mode. The permanent indicator relates to a second datum and being able, furthermore, to form a permanent indicator relating to a first datum distinct from the second datum, the first datum being delivered by a first process implemented by the terminal. Thus, a given indicator is able to permanently inform the user of an active terminal of the value of the distinct datum, for example the permanent pictogram of a clock will indicate the time but also the time remaining to the next alarm, the weather forecast for the next 12 or 24 hours, air-quality, etc. The management of the permanent indicators will therefore be optimized.

Abstract: A method and device for encoding an image divided into blocks. The image contains two separate zones. The method implements the following: only in the event where the current block pertains to one of the zones of the image: encoding the current block using a prediction, the current block being predicted using a previously encoded and then decoded block located in the other zone of the image, the blocks of the other zone having been previously encoded and then decoded, and encoding information indicating the application of the prediction; and for any decoded block pertaining to the other zone of the image, storing the decoded block data.

Abstract: Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes communicate with one another in half-duplex mode. Such a multiplexing of the communications of the IAB node requires simultaneous execution of a “mobile terminal” function and of a “base station” function by the IAB node. However, these two functions are not synchronised with one another, resulting in a lack of temporal alignment between the data communicated with the parent node and the data communicated with the child node, which causes interference that negatively impacts the quality of the communications between the different IAB nodes involved. Existing solutions suffer from long data processing times and are expensive. Accordingly, a time offset is introduced during the processing of the data by the child node, in order to take into account the lack of synchronisation between the “mobile terminal” function and the “base station” function of the current node.

Abstract: A method and device for encoding and a method and device for decoding a signal including encoded data representing an image sub-divided into blocks, and information representing a correction block and a residual block. For a current block of the image, a first pixel is encoded from a prediction value obtained for the first pixel from at least one pixel of a previously rebuilt block. The prediction is corrected using at least one value of a pixel of the correction block. At least one current pixel of the current block is encoded from a prediction value obtained for the current pixel from at least one previously corrected pixel of the current block. The prediction is corrected by using at least one value of a pixel of the correction block, delivering a prediction block for the current block. The residual block is computed from the current block and the predictive block.

Abstract: A method and a system for traversing a planned path in a marked facility are provided. A transport vehicle transits from a first location to a second location in the marked facility for traversing the planned path. The first and second locations are indicated by first and second location markers, respectively. The transport vehicle records a movement pattern of the transport vehicle, while transiting from the first location to the second location. The transport vehicle halts at an intermediate location when the transport vehicle fails to detect the second location marker at the second location. A first path traversed to reach the intermediate location from the first location is retraced by the transport vehicle based on the recorded movement pattern. On reaching the first location, the transport vehicle re-attempts to transit from the first location to the second location.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) based computer systems and methods are disclosed for autonomously creating customer service help guides via a graphic user interface (GUI). Computing instructions operating on processor(s) are configured to automatically crawl digital product categorie(s) and create action script(s) derived therefrom. The action script(s) comprise user directive(s) for completing user task(s) on a computing device and software application configured to render a GUI. A natural language understanding (NLU) model associates the action script(s) with text of the user task(s). The action script(s) are tested against completion criteria to output success result(s). An AI model is trained on the action script(s), the text of the user tasks, and the completion criteria.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to the field of transport, particularly motor vehicles. A motor with predictive adjustment is described, as well as a motor controller of a vehicle, which is capable of automatically adjusting a physical parameter of a motor, such as the width of the air gap of an electric motor. A motor of a vehicle can include at least one physical parameter capable of being adjusted according to characteristic data predicted from the current path of the vehicle based on data provided by at least one vehicle motor sensor. Thus, the motor can be automatically adjusted according to characteristic data predicted from the current path based on the data of a motor sensor for optimizing the use of the motor, with respect to a parameter such as power consumption, transmission efficiency, or rotor warming, regardless of the route.
