Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a blended reality view to a user, the blended reality view combining images reflected by a mirror with images transmitted from a screen behind the mirror. Systems for generating blended reality views can include a display device with a screen positioned behind a mirror. The display device can generate a pattern of illumination and non-illumination on the screen so that the illuminated portions of the screen substantially transmit through the mirror. Projectors can be used to illuminate objects in front of the mirror so that the illuminated objects are reflected by the mirror. In combination, the portions of the screen transmitted through the mirror and the illuminated objects reflected by the mirror can provide a blended reality view to a user viewing the mirror.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating an artificial terrain map can select a plurality of component terrains for each of several terrain types. Values of a selection noise map ranging between a lower bound and an upper bound can be computed on a tile-by-tile basis. One or more noise bands within the range of selection-noise-map values can correspond to each terrain type. The noise map can be sampled on a tile-by-tile basis to determine a tile value for each tile. Each respective tile can be assigned to the noise band in which the tile value falls. A terrain value can be assigned to each respective tile in the selection noise map based on the noise band assigned to the respective tile. Generated maps in machine-readable form can be converted to a human-perceivable form, and/or to a modulated signal form conveyed over a communication connection.

Abstract: A computer-automated method is described for identifying and remediating anomalous data points for acquired performance parameter (e.g., KPI) values for components of a mobile wireless data network—such as PDSNs. The remediated data point sets is thereafter used as input to a forecasting model rendering a forecast for a mobile wireless network performance indicator/parameter. Data point sequence seasonality is exploited to improve the detection of anomalous data points. Furthermore, correcting data point sets is reiterated until changes between two iterations of the correction process are within a threshold magnitude for terminating the iterative data point sequence correction process.
