Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses using haptic augmentations starts with processor receiving a media content item from a first client device and receiving from the first client device a selection of a haptic overlay associated with a haptic feedback response to be applied to the media content item. The processor generates a modified media content item by overlaying the haptic overlay on the media content item. The processor receives from the first client device a selection of a second user associated with the second user and causes the modified media content item to be displayed by a second user interface of the second client device. The processor detects a selection of the haptic overlay from the second client device, and in response to detecting the selection of the haptic overlay, causing the second user interface to generate the haptic feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.
Abstract: A display apparatus having an excellent boosting function is provided. The display apparatus is provided with a pixel having a function of adding data (a boosting function). A capacitor for boosting voltage is provided in the pixel, and data is added by capacitive coupling to be supplied to a display device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating enriched light sources by utilizing surface-centric representations of three-dimensional surfaces. Specifically, the disclosed system utilizes a surface-centric re-parameterization that combines geometric and algebraic components of a sphere to model different light source types in a continuous range of lighting configurations. The disclosed systems utilize a set of intuitive parameters to determine a shape and emission parameters for generating an enriched light source. Additionally, the disclosed system provides a set of interactive light source controls to modify a position, orientation, shape, emittance, and lighting attenuation over distance of a light source within a three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system determines the light source controls based on sets of three-dimensional interaction primitives to control one or more parameters of the light source.

Abstract: A control mode of speed control includes a first control mode in which an actual speed is caused to follow a target speed through active use of a brake and a second control mode in which the actual speed is caused to follow the target speed while use of the brake is suppressed. An autonomous driving system changes a threshold value to a value larger than a value in the first control mode when the control mode is switched from the first control mode to the second control mode, and changes the threshold value to a value smaller than a value in the second control mode when the control mode is switched from the second control mode to the first control mode.
Abstract: An apparatus includes a processing resource configured to receive a feature vector of a data stream. The feature vector includes a set of feature values. The processing resource is further configured to calculate a set of feature labels based at least in part on the set of feature values to generate a label vector, provide the label vector to another processing resource, and receive a plurality of classifications corresponding to each feature label of the label vector from the other processing resource. The plurality of classifications are generated based at least in part on a respective range of feature values of the set of feature values. The processing resource is configured to then combine the plurality of classifications to generate a final classification of the data stream.

The grip includes a channel through an inside of which an insertion portion of the endoscope is inserted. The operation portion is configured to advance the insertion section by moving forward relative to the grip. The liquid storage is provided on an interior portion of the grip and configured to store a liquid. The tubular member is provided on an interior portion or an exterior portion of the insertion portion of the endoscope, is connected to the liquid storage at one end of the tubular member, and is configured to guide the liquid toward another end of the tubular member opposite to said one end.
Abstract: An oscillator and a clock circuit are disclosed. In an oscillator (100), a tail inductor connected to a cross-coupled transistor includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. Therefore, an inductance of the tail inductor is less than an inductance of any one of the inductors. This can address a design difficulty that a tail inductor with a smaller inductance needs to be used as an operating frequency of a VCO increases. The oscillator (100) includes a first cross-coupled transistor (121) and a first tail inductor (111). The first tail inductor (111) includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. The first tail inductor (111) is coupled to a source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121). The source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121) is coupled to a power supply or a ground through the first tail inductor (111).

The mold is then used to mass produce fish models for force measurement testing at various blade speeds, thickness, and impact angles. Each fish model includes a surrogate skin and an internal sensor for strike force measurements. Optional additional sensors include strain gauges, temperature probes, pressure probes, and load sensors, for example.
