Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a system and method to identify a plurality of noises or their combination to suppress them and enhancing the deteriorated input signal in a dynamic manner. It identifies noises in the audio signal and categorizing them based on the trained database of noises. A combination of deep neural network (DNN) and artificial Intelligence (AI) helps the system for self-learning to understand and capture noises in the environment and retain the model to reduce noises from the next attempt. The system suppresses unwanted noise coming from the external environment with the help of AI based algorithms, by understanding, differentiating, and enhancing human voice in a live environment. The system will help in the reduction of unwanted noises and enhance the experience of business and public meetings, video conferences, musical events, speech broadcasts etc. that could cause distractions, disturbances and create barriers in the conversation.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to a STRADL file system that transparently deploys file blocks across multiple tiers of storage. In a cloud-based storage platform, multiple storage tiers host data via file system APIs. This includes a volatile storage (VS) tier with a VS API, a reliable non-volatile storage (RNVS) tier with a RNVS API, and a highly reliable non-volatile storage (HRNVS) tier with a HRNVS API. The STRADL file system provides an intermediary file system API that presents to a host system a single interface and translates get, put, and other file system requests into commands compatible with the VS API, the RNVS API, and the HRNVS API, without host system awareness of which of the multiple tiers holds requested data and metadata.

Abstract: A system and method to create an intelligent cartoon comic strip based on the dynamic content. Herein, the input is conversation-based text or speech files. The system identifies scenes, objects, sequence and flow for generating the comic strip along with gender of characters appearing in the entire conversation. Text is analyzed to create the situational based background image for the scenes that needs to be rendered. Emotion and placement of characters in the scene is decided by the NLP algorithms along with voice emotional and sentimental analysis. Characters are placed in plain canvas and then text dialog is embedded into corresponding text bubbles. Once this image is obtained, it is overlaid on top of the background based on the context. Further, the scenes are joined into a strip of images in a pattern, which depends on the number, and order of scenes, which is decided, based on the input.

Abstract: An intracavitary applicator, such as a vaginal applicator, includes an elongate outer shell selectively housing an elongate cylinder insert, each having an open, proximal end and a closed and curved, distal end. An endcap selectively closes the proximal ends. A central through-bore extends substantially the length of the cylinder insert. Outer guide channels run along the length and around the curved distal end of the cylinder insert to terminate near an opening of the central through-bore. Guide holes and an endcap through-bore on the endcap align and communicate with the guide channels and central through-bore, respectively, when assembled to form pathways for introduction of radioactive sources and/or other instruments. The outer shell has a thinner wall at the distal end than the side to enable the insert to be closer to the target treatment area. An anchor collar can be used to fix positioning of the intracavitary applicator.
