Abstract: A wireless router may comprise a spherical housing, and may move an antenna within the housing to different positions. The movement of the antenna may direct a wireless beam between various positions. The movement may also or alternatively be based on one or more device identifiers associated with one or more devices.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for providing variable bitrate content (e.g., video content, audio content, multimedia content, etc.). The content may comprise a plurality of portions (e.g., frames, segments, fragments, etc.). Each portion of the content may be tagged and/or associated with a content element. A content element may be associated with and/or indicate one or more of an encoding parameter associated with a respective portion of the content, attributes of the content (e.g., a scene transition, scene change, etc.) associated with the respective portion of the content, or additional content related items (e.g., one or more advertisements, etc.) associated with the respective portion of the content. The content element may be used to determine a bitrate to associate with the respective portion of the content. The content may be received/retrieved according to the determined bitrates.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for selectively modifying output of one more portions of a content item. Selective modifications may comprise enabling closed captioning for portions with difficult-to-understand dialogue, alerts of upcoming portions of a content item, skipping or replaying portions of a content item, volume adjustments, and/or contrast adjustments. Output modification may be automatic or partially automatic (e.g., based on acceptance after a prompt).

Abstract: An interference signal may be used to add a layer of security to a wireless communication. The interference signal may comprise media content, such as video, audio, text, or other content available to a user device via a media service. The wireless communication may be used to transmit a data signal, which may include sensitive data. The interference signal may be filtered to process the data signal.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for localizing and/or navigating a medical instrument within a luminal network. A medical system can include an elongate body configured to be inserted into the luminal network, as well as an imaging device positioned on a distal portion of the elongate body. The system may include memory and processors configured to receive from the imaging device image data that includes an image captured when the elongate body is within the luminal network. The image can depict one or more branchings of the luminal network. The processor can be configured to access a machine learning model of one or more luminal networks and determine, based on the machine learning model and information regarding the one or more branchings, a location of the distal portion of the elongate body within the luminal network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for configuring and using a wireless network are described herein. A wireless network may include a gateway device, one or more access points, and/or one or more client devices. The gateway device, one or more access points, and one or more client devices may be configured for wireless communication. A computing device may determine the presence or absence of an individual based on signal characteristics of one or more wireless signals and take an action or prevent an action based thereon.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for monitoring of one or more A/V collection devices within a premises. Based on the monitoring, one or more computing devices may determine whether to route or block a data transmission outside a premises. The data transmission may be routed or blocked based on, for example, one or more of the following: whether a transmission window associated with an A/V collection device is open or closed; whether the data transmission is being sent to an authorized destination device; whether the data transmission is encrypted, and the like.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses may be provided for modifying audio content. A content item that includes audio content and video content may be received. The content item may include or be associated with closed captioning data or other text data. The text data and the audio content for the content item may be evaluated to determine when, within the audio content, spoken words are occurring. While the spoken words are occurring in the audio content, the audio content may be modified to reduce or eliminate background noise and other sounds within the audio content that occur at or around the time that the spoken words occur within the audio content.

Abstract: Networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may comprise a movable antenna within a spherical housing having different ports associated with different positions, and may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones by moving the antenna. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices.
