Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to the optical identification of telecommunications equipment. In examples, a user interacts with an application to capture image data relating to a device according to instructions presented to the user. The application may further generate metadata, such as user responses to one or more questions. The image data and/or metadata are evaluated using a machine learning model to generate an equipment classification for devices pictured therein. The data may also be used to generate an equipment configuration for the device, as well as an operational state (e.g., based on one or more indicators present on the device, log data, etc.). Accordingly, such information may be used to update a pre-existing inventory record for the device, or generate a new inventory record. In other examples, such information is used to generate one or more predicted issues and associated actions to troubleshoot the device.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for scene aware searching. A system may include a media player configured to play a video stream, a database, and a server configured to host an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The server may further include a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, when executable by the processor to receive, from the media device, a search query from a user. The AI engine may further be configured to obtain the video stream associated with the search query, identify one or more objects in the video stream, derive contextual data associated with the one or more objects, identify one or more matches based on the contextual data, and determine a result of the search query.

Abstract: In one implementation for providing a user interface of a software application, a request to enable a user to perceive the user interface of the software application may be received. A context and a user interface expression may be determined based on the request. The user interface expression may be evaluated based on the context to generate a user interface definition. The user interface definition may be provided to a user interface renderer. The user interface renderer may be configured to process the user interface definition to enable the user to perceive the user interface.

Abstract: A multi-layered composite gasket (10) includes three, preferably metallic cores (12, 14). A solid center core (12) is flanked on both sides by bonded paper layers (30). Perforated cores (14) mechanically interlock with each paper layer (30) through inwardly directed tangs (22). Graphite layers (26) are disposed outside of each perforated core (14) and are mechanically interlocked thereto by outwardly directed tangs (20) extending from the perforated cores (14). When using the gasket (10) material for sealing cylinder heads in internal combustion engines, a fire ring (46) may be affixed with a fire ring holder (48). The gasket (10) can be manufactured by making first and second preform sheets (32) comprised of one perforated core (14) sided with one paper layer (30) and one graphite layer (26). The preform sheets (32) are then bonded to a center core (12) using a heat activated adhesive.

Abstract: An apparatus for anchoring a boat to a bottom of a body of water is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base securely coupled to a transom of a boat and an elongated member having a proximal end hingably coupled to the base. The apparatus further includes a spear hingably coupled to a distal end of the elongated member, such that when the elongated member is positioned substantially horizontally, the spear is positioned substantially vertically so as to extend below a hull of the boat. The apparatus further includes a maneuvering arm hingably coupled to the elongated member for manually lowering the elongated member into a substantially horizontal position. The apparatus further includes a stopping member perpendicularly coupled to the distal end of the elongated member, so as to halt the spear from rotating beyond ninety degrees from the elongated member.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a tread with at least one groove having a groove depth Dg extending from an initial tread surface to the base of the groove. The tread has at least one tread wear indicator having at least two different colored portions. The tread wear indicator is a strip inclined at an angle relative to the tread surface and extending to a depth Dr at least equivalent to the groove depth Dg. In manufacturing the tire, the tread wear indicator is applied to a splice cut edge of the tread rubber such that, after splicing the tread rubber, the tread wear indicator strip is located within the tread splice.

Abstract: A marine craft maintained floating in a capsized condition by flotation components which permit angular displacement substantially about a rotational axis established intermediate the bow and stern. Venting of air entrapped within the craft forwardly of the rotational axis initiates angular displacement of the hull until the craft assumes a stabilized position intermediate the capsized and upright positions. Continued angular displacement of the craft toward the upright position is induced by upward pivotal displacement of a counterweight suspended by a boom pivotally connected to the craft to establish the rotational axis.
