Abstract: A system and/or device for transabdominal fetal oximetry and/or fetal pulse oximetry and/or uterine tone determination may include one or more articulating, adjustable, and/or selectable components such as a light source and/or a photodetector. In some embodiments, the positioning of a light source and/or detector may be adjustable. The articulation and/or adjustment of position of the light source and/or photodetector may be in any plane (X, Y, and/or Z) and, in some instances, may be responsive to a fetal position within a maternal abdomen. Light detected by the detectors may be used to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level and/or a muscular state (e.g., contracted or relaxed) of the pregnant mammal's uterus.

Abstract: Technology is provided for conversation analysis. The technology includes, receiving multiple utterance representations, where each utterance representation represents a portion of a conversation performed by at least two users, and each utterance representation is associated with video data, acoustic data, and text data. The technology further includes generating a first utterance output by applying video data, acoustic data, and text data of the first utterance representation to a respective video processing part of the machine learning system to generate video, text, and acoustic-based outputs. A second utterance output is further generated for a second user. Conversation analysis indicators are generated by applying, to a sequential machine learning system the combined speaker features and a previous state of the sequential machine learning system.

Abstract: Independent component analysis may be performed on a plurality of detected electronic signals to separate signals within the detected electronic signals that are contributed by different sources. Each of the plurality of detected electronic signals may be received from a separate detector and may correspond to a detected optical signal emanating from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein. The detected optical signals may correspond to light that is projected into the pregnant mammal's abdomen from a light source. The separated signals may be analyzed to determine a separated signal that corresponds to light incident upon the fetus, which may be analyzed to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus. An indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level may then be provided to the user.

Abstract: Photoacoustic and/or acousto-optical techniques may be used to transabdominally perform fetal oximetry and/or trans-abdominal fetal pulse oximetry. In some cases, a composite acoustic signal that has emanated from an abdomen of a pregnant mammal may be received by a processor from, for example, an ultrasonic detector and/or microphone positioned on, or near, a pregnant mammal's abdomen and the composite acoustic signal may result from an optical signal incident on the pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein. A portion of the composite acoustic signal that was incident on the fetus may be isolated from the composite acoustic signal and then analyzed to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level and/or a fetal tissue oxygen saturation level.

Abstract: Display of a test pattern on a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) device or other display device can expose a problem with control logic that causes perceptible shifting in color values away from correct color values. For example, a test pattern evaluation tool determines a test pattern that is based at least in part on a base pattern of pixels. The test pattern evaluation tool successively renders the test pattern for display on a display device. In doing so, the test pattern evaluation tool offsets the base pattern by a number of pixels (e.g., shifting by one pixel horizontally) between successive rendering operations at the native refresh rate of the display device, which facilitates evaluation of whether chromatic shift is induced among at least some sub-pixel display elements of the display device.

Abstract: A method in accordance with an embodiment allows for a user to change a wireless speed setting for a device. The method includes sending, from a server over a network, information for displaying an interface in a web page to allow a user to change a wireless speed setting for the device. The method further includes receiving, by the server over the network, a selected wireless speed setting as input by the user into the interface. The change of the wireless speed is then performed by sending, to a computer of a wireless network provider, a request to change the wireless speed setting for the device to the selected wireless speed setting.
