Abstract: A data transformation system is provided for extracting source data and transmitting it to a transformation processing unit. The transformation processing unit transforms the source data into standard format data through a mapping profile. By collecting format descriptions of the source data and data examples, in cooperation with documentation and a specification file of a standard format and a specification file of the mapping profile, a language model algorithm is used to create the mapping profile.

Abstract: The technology described herein improves data security by giving users control over data collected by and/or for machine-learning (ML) systems through a computing system. A first aspect of providing control to the user is the display of a data-collection status indicator. The status indicator, which may take the form of an icon or other user interface feature, communicates whether data collection is active or inactive. A second aspect of providing control to the user is providing a data-collection management interface through which the information collected can be managed. The data-collection management interface allows the user to provide and/or edit data-collection policies and to delete previously collected data. These policies can establish criteria indicating when data may or may not be collected. The data-collection management interface may allow the user to pause data collection for a period of time.

In some embodiments the vehicle protector comprises a lock which secures the sections together to reduce the potential for theft.

Abstract: A smart panel system comprises a network of interconnected smart panels, each including subpanels and micropanels. Each micropanel includes layers, such as a processing layer, communications layer, and module controller. The module controller uses an Artificial Intelligence Operating System (AIOS) to control and monitor the subpanels and micropanels. The AIOS includes software Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents dedicated to specific tasks, such as analyzing data, generating prompts, and applying AI outputs to the smart panels. The system can be monitored and controlled remotely using identification data, state data, and operating data transmitted by the smart panels.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to automated cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging systems and methods that can be used to produce both cine and delayed enhancement images with minimal interaction by a clinician and minimal dependence on system hardware and clinician skill and experience. The images may be acquired during patient free-breathing and does not require a contrast agent. The resulting images be time-resolved three-dimensional images having isotropic resolution, permitting retrospective two-dimensional image reconstruction in any plane image reconstruction according to a retrospectively determined inversion time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and/or mitigating video artifacts in a video. A processor in a computing device may be configured to receive the video from a video source (e.g., codec or from any other video source compressed or uncompressed) subtract pixel intensities from two consecutive frames in the video to generate a residual, analyze the residual to detect small rectangular shapes, and identifying a video artifact in the video based on a result of the analysis.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for broadcasting data streams. The CDN allows a streamer to stream live (in realtime) on a network(s), such as the Internet, for a live audience to view and to interact with the live entertainment. Each of the broadcast clients send data streams to the CDN via an input node, wherein the CDN output a selected media stream to one or more selected viewing clients via the output node. The architecture of the CDN contains one or more System Racks. Each of the System Racks contains multiple media channels. In operation, the data stream of a broadcasting client is sent to the CDN and distributed into selected channels. The data streams in each of the selected channels are outputted to viewing clients of a corresponding type.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing delivery of content to client devices of a network via both multicast and unicast mechanisms. In one embodiment, a system for use in a managed content delivery network is described to bridge multicast to unicast, so that the total network bandwidth consumption is significantly lower than a corresponding unicast-only delivery solution, yet which still provides improved quality of service and user viewing experience as compared to a multicast-only delivery solution. In addition, various exemplary aspects of the present disclosure are readily adapted for real-time multicast to unicast streaming of audio and data to, among other things, minimize network bandwidth usage, while maintaining the guaranteed delivery of unicast streams with little or no modification to the existing client device logic.
