Abstract: The interactive and shared surface technique described herein employs hardware that can project on any surface, capture color video of that surface, and get depth information of and above the surface while preventing visual feedback (also known as video feedback, video echo, or visual echo). The technique provides N-way sharing of a surface using video compositing. It also provides for automatic calibration of hardware components, including calibration of any projector, RGB camera, depth camera and any microphones employed by the technique. The technique provides object manipulation with physical, visual, audio, and hover gestures and interaction between digital objects displayed on the surface and physical objects placed on or above the surface. It can capture and scan the surface in a manner that captures or scans exactly what the user sees, which includes both local and remote objects, drawings, annotations, hands, and so forth.

Abstract: Memory deterioration detection and evaluation includes capturing human utterances with a voice interface and generating, for a user, a human utterances corpus that comprises human utterances selected from the plurality of human utterances based on meanings of the human utterances as determined by natural language processing by a computer processor. Based on data generated in response to signals sensed by one or more sensing devices operatively coupled with the computer processor, contextual information corresponding to one or more human utterances of the corpus is determined. Patterns among the corpus of human utterances are recognized based on pattern recognition performed by the computer processor using one or more machine learning models. Based on the pattern recognition a change in memory functioning of the user is identified. The identified change is classified, based on the contextual information, as to whether the change is likely due to memory impairment of the user.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to distributed virtual reality. In examples, a depth buffer and a color buffer are generated at a presenter device as part of rendering a virtual environment. The virtual environment may be perceived by a user in three dimensions (3D), for example via a virtual reality (VR) headset. Virtual environment information comprising the depth buffer and the color buffer may be transmitted to a viewer device, where it is used to render the virtual environment for display to a viewer. For example, the viewer may similarly view the virtual environment in 3D via a VR headset. A viewer perspective (e.g., from which the virtual environment is generated for the viewer) may differ from a presenter perspective and may be manipulated by the viewer, thereby decoupling the viewer's perception of the virtual environment from that of the presenter.

Abstract: A process of making a fuel product from a non-combustible high protein organic material such as a biological by-product or waste material. The moisture content of the high protein organic material is mechanically reduced and dried to reduce the moisture content to less than ten percent (10%). The high protein organic material is pulverized to a particle size of less than about 2 mm. The high protein organic waste material is fed into a combustion chamber and separated during combustion such as by spraying high protein organic waste material within the combustion chamber. Temperature and combustion reactions within the combustion chamber are controlled by controlling the moisture in the combustion atmosphere and energy injections at or downstream of the combustion chamber. The concentration of protein thermal decomposition by-products, temperature, and residence time and/or additions of energy plasma within the combustion chamber environment are controlled to degrade hazardous polyfluoro compounds.

Abstract: A fuel cell power system that includes multiple strings that each have multiple sub-stacks of fuel cells. Each sub-stack is electrically isolated from other sub-stacks and each sub-stack can be independently controlled by a DC control module on a printed circuit board. The DC control module of a sub-stack can regulate or shut off the output power of the sub-stack if the sub-stack becomes weak or fails. A sub-stack can be shut off while other sub-stacks in the system continue to operate. The output power of other sub-stacks can be increased to compensate for sub-stacks that are shut down.
