Abstract: A system may include emitters configured to emit radiation at a first wavelength of electromagnetic (EM) radiation and a second wavelength of EM radiation towards a biological tissue, and receivers configured to receive responses to the first and second wavelengths of EM radiation after the wavelengths of EM radiation interact with the biological tissue. The system may also include a signal mixer unit configured to perform operations that include replicate and mix first signals representative of the responses to the first wavelength of EM radiation received by the receivers and second signals representative of the responses to the second wavelength of EM radiation received by the receivers to generate a set of spectro-spatial responses, replicate and mix the spectro-spatial responses to generate markers, and replicate and mix the markers and user-selected markers to output a sequence associated with characterization of the biological tissue.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using mobile data to generate social graph information are disclosed. Using the social graph information for targeted advertising is further disclosed herein. Mobile data from a telecommunications network is received at one or more network servers and processed to generate node and edge information in a social graph. The mobile data may be used to infer relationships and develop a social graph profile for a node. The social graph profile can be used to implement targeted advertising. Data from the mobile network may also be merged with connected object data or data provided by Internet of Things (IoT) devices, allowing for the creation of social graphs according to interactions between users of devices as well as interactions with IoT devices. Targeting advertisements to nodes that have been within a definable proximity to connected products in the real world is also disclosed.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described herein that comprise a multi-screen application which allows users to establish communication sessions with other users of the multi-screen application as well as allowing the user to request multimedia content using the same multi-screen application interface. The user makes a connection request to establish a multimedia session by entering a name or phone number. The multi-screen application uses a request string from the connection request to search a user's contact directory in order to determine possible user connection identifiers associated with the request string. The multi-screen application may additionally or alternatively transmit the request string to a directory server maintained by a service provider. The directory server may provide an endpoint for retrieving multimedia content associated with the string. The multi-media application may be used to allow a user to ‘call’ multimedia content using the same user interface used for calling another user.

Abstract: A projection system for projecting an image with an increased apparent resolution is provided. The projection system includes one or more projectors, a resampler module and a deconvolution module. The resampler module is configured to upsample an incoming high-resolution signal, perform an integer shift operation on a signal, and downsample to two or more low-resolution signals. The deconvolution module is configured to filter the upsampled high-resolution signal using a spatial domain deconvolution operation, the spatial domain deconvolution operation approximating frequency domain optical corrections based on characteristics of the one or more projectors. Preferably, the spatial domain deconvolution operation uses an N×N spatial kernel extracted from a spatial domain approximation of a Wiener filter.

Abstract: Summarizing an aggregate contribution to a phenotypic characteristic for an individual includes: receiving information pertaining to the phenotypic characteristic of an individual; identifying, using one or more computer processors, a set of one or more markers associated with the phenotypic characteristic; obtaining a set of one or more marker measurements of the individual that corresponds to the set of one or more markers; obtaining a set of one or more statistical factors that measure associations between the set of one or more markers and the phenotypic characteristic; determining an aggregate contribution to the phenotypic characteristic of the individual based at least in part on the retrieved set of one or more statistical factors; and outputting a display characteristic to be displayed that is associated with the aggregate contribution to the phenotypic characteristic for the individual.

Abstract: A device, system and method for content-adaptive resolution-enhancement is provided. A plurality of subframe streams are generated from a video stream, each of the plurality of subframe streams comprising a lower resolution version of the video stream, pixel-shifted from one another. A plurality of output subframe streams are generated from the plurality of subframe streams in a one-to-one relationship by: applying a plurality of video enhancement filters to each of the plurality of subframe streams, each of the plurality of video enhancement filters for enhancing different features of the video stream; and, combining one or more resulting enhanced subframe streams into a respective output subframe stream based on data in one or more regions of the video stream. One or more projectors are controlled to project the plurality of output subframe streams to combine the plurality of output subframe streams into a higher resolution projected video stream.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for simultaneously amplifying multiple nucleic acid regions of interest in one reaction volume as well as methods for selecting a library of primers for use in such amplification methods. The invention also provides library of primers with desirable characteristics, such as minimal formation of amplified primer dimers or other non-target amplicons.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a search request including a search input; and identifying a history information item based on the search input. The history includes information describing a prior state of an object. The method also includes determining whether information describing a current state of the object corresponds to the search input. The method includes outputting a prior-state based search result item that identifies the object and includes information based on the history information item. If the information describing the current state of the object corresponds to the search input, the method includes outputting a current-state based search result item that includes a link for accessing the object.

Abstract: Embodiments as described herein provide a simplified turbo recharger for an efficient, reliable, low-cost system that delivers good performance for improving efficiency of a vehicle using electric power. Embodiments as described herein may be used with electric motor, combustion engine hybrid vehicles to improve the fuel efficiencies of such vehicles. A turbine may be positioned in an exhaust stream of a vehicle that is coupled to a generator to recharge the battery of a vehicle. The turbine may include a wastegate to permit the exhaust stream to enter or bypass the turbine depending on the charge of the battery, the rate of rotation of the turbine, pressure within the turbine, the speed of the engine, or a combination of the above.
