Abstract: A method of encoding video data into a video bitstream having a plurality of precincts. The method comprises generating a plurality of coding cost estimates for a current precinct by testing a corresponding candidate coefficient truncation level for the current precinct, each of the coding cost estimates being an over estimate of an encoded data size for coding the current precinct at the candidate truncation level and being determined using a most significant bit plane index, wherein each of the coding cost estimates is independent of a value of coefficient bits in the current precinct. The method includes selecting one of the candidate truncation levels according to the corresponding coding cost estimate and a budgeted coding cost for the current precinct, the budgeted coding cost representing an allowable size of encoding the precinct; and encoding the current precinct of video data into the video bitstream to generate the video bitstream.

Abstract: The pilot communication system employs a transducer array of individual spaced apart speakers and/or microphones for deployment within the cockpit. A signal processing circuit interfaces with the transducer array and also with the aircraft avionics communication system, and selectively applies different time delays to the individual speakers and/or microphones to create in the array an acoustic beam having steerable coverage within the acoustic space of the cockpit. By adjusting the time delays the signal processing circuit directs and focuses sound from the speakers to the pilot and similarly focuses the microphones on the pilot's mouth. In this way the pilots can communicate with each other and with air traffic control without the need to wear headsets. The system also significantly reduces flight deck warnings from being introduced into the cabin environment.

Abstract: Hypoglycemic event prediction using machine learning is described. A CGM platform includes a machine learning model trained using historical time series glucose measurements of a user population. Once trained, the machine learning model predicts hypoglycemic events for users. When predicting hypoglycemic events, a time series of glucose measurements for a day time interval is received. The glucose measurements of this time series for the day time interval are provided by a CGM system worn by the user. The machine learning model predicts whether a hypoglycemic event will occur during a night time interval that is subsequent to the day time interval by processing the time series of glucose measurements using the trained machine learning model. The hypoglycemic event prediction is then output, such as via communication and/or display of a notification about the hypoglycemic event prediction.
