Abstract: The present approach automatically generates an optimized building façade design given a set of building design parameters including a specified interior layout. The generated building façade design comprises a set of MegaPanels that are then displayed to the building designer for review and facilitate customization as desired by the façade designer. Some or all of this process can then be repeated when building design parameters are changed thereby facilitating automated and iterative building façade design as differing design parameters and resulting optimized building façade designs are considered.

Abstract: Method, apparatuses, and systems are described to display image data to a sub-pixel within a micro-LED (mLED) display. A sub-pixel image data value is stored at the sub-pixel. The sub-pixel is turned to an ON state. A shared row counter value is provided to the sub-pixel. The shared row counter value and the sub-pixel image data value are compared at the sub-pixel. The sub-pixel is turned to an OFF state if the shared row counter value is equal to or greater than the sub-pixel image data value.

Abstract: A system and method for stall recovery of mud motors may be implemented in a steering control system. The stall recovery system and method may involve automatic detection of a stall of a mud motor during drilling controlled by the steering control system, and may respond to the stall in a rapid and controlled manner to avoid or minimize damage to the mud motor, such as by immediately reducing mud pressure and stopping rotary drilling, if used, faster than a typical human operator could perform. The stall recovery system and method may farther take actions to automatically restart drilling.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: A system and method for the automatic distribution of rewards for user content within social networks is provided. Content that is posted by users to social networks may display a qualifying product or service, as determined by the operator of the system and method. Such content is identified by software algorithms and evaluated for its marketing value. A quantity of that evaluated value is then paid out to the original user, either immediately or on a deferred basis, in the form of currency. The present invention provides for a novel method to compensate social media users for their unpaid labor they have performed by inadvertently advertising products and services, and thus represents a material benefit for a large segment of the population.
