  • Publication number: 20260147464
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide techniques for modifying hue, saturation, and luminance (HSL) parameters across different colors depicted on an image. A computer-implemented method can include providing a set of color sub-spectrums extracted from an image. The method can also include displaying, on a graphical user interface, an interactive graph for a particular color sub-spectrum of the set of color sub-spectrums. The method can also include selecting one or more colors of the particular color sub-spectrum in response to a first interaction relative to a first dimension of the interactive graph. The method can also modifying HSL parameters associated with the one or more colors in response to a second interaction relative to a second dimension of the interactive graph. The method can also include generating a color-adjusted image by applying the modified HSL parameters to one or more pixels of the image.

  • Publication number: 20260147463
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide techniques for adjusting color parameters using an integrated color-control interface. A computer-implemented method includes generating an integrated color-control interface for a first color parameter and a second color parameter. In some instances, the integrated color-control interface includes a visual-feedback indicator that conveys color distribution of pixels of an image. The method also includes receiving a gesture-based interaction within the integrated color-control interface. The gesture-based interaction includes using one or more gestures to adjust the first color parameter, the second color parameter, or both. The method also includes transforming the image in accordance with the adjusted first and second color parameters.

    Abstract: A multidirectional support device is configured to move upon a traversed surface and includes a base. A multiaxial mobility element is attached to the base and includes main and secondary rolling elements having a main rolling axis and a secondary rolling axis The main rolling element is configured to allow rolling about the main rolling axis, and the secondary rolling element is configured to allow rolling about the secondary rolling axis. The multiaxial mobility element is arranged to support the base in a first stabilized equilibrium when the base is moving on the traversed surface and supported by the multiaxial mobility element. A controlled-mobility element is configured for controlled mobility and attached to the base. In the first stabilized equilibrium, the controlled-mobility element does not impede multidirectional movement of the device; and in a second stabilized equilibrium, the controlled-mobility element engages the traversed surface, impeding the multidirectional movement.

  • Publication number: 20250112754
    Abstract: An input signal is sampled at a current sampling phase by a sampler device of a receiver device. The sampled input signal is equalized by an adaptive equalizer of the receiver device. One or more parameters of the adaptive equalizer are adapted, based on the equalized input signal, under one or more adaptation constraints. Phase gradient information indicative of an offset of the current sampling phase from an optimal sampling phase is determined, and the one or more adaptation constraints of the adaptive equalizer are updated based on the phase gradient information to move the current sampling phase towards the optimal sampling phase.
