The smart irrigation system also includes one or more processors configured to receive a first signal from the first sensor, receive a second signal from the second sensor, and route the fluid to the location in response to the first signal indicating that the moisture level is below a moisture threshold and the second signal indicating that the contamination level is below a contamination threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods described in this disclosure provide methods and systems for automatic deployment of a vehicle covering apparatus to protect the vehicle from environmental conditions such as severe weather.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a chassis, a plurality of tractive assemblies coupled to the chassis, and a controller. Each tractive assembly includes a tractive element and an actuator coupled to the tractive element and configured to move the tractive element relative to the chassis. The controller is configured to control at least one of the actuators to vary a load supported by one of the tractive assemblies in response to an indication that a portion of a first tractive assembly of the plurality of tractive assemblies is disabled.

Abstract: A system for preventing collisions between users of the system. The system includes a central processing server receiving first path information relating to a first user and second path information relating to a second user. The central processing server determines a projected path of each user. The central processing server compares the projected paths identifies points of intersection, which are locations that put the users at risk of a collision. The central processing server sends navigation directions to avoid the collision to the first user.

Abstract: A method and system of providing guidance and information to an end-user during an emergency situation. A network of one or more enrolled devices can obtain infrared data that will be used by the system to determine whether there is a high likelihood of a fire in a building. When an emergency situation such as a fire is detected, alerts can be generated at the enrolled devices that provide navigation cues based on user preferences and suggested evacuation routes to safely guide the end-user to the nearest designated exit.

Abstract: The disclosed wearable device systems include several features for alerting and guiding persons who are approaching or near to potentially hazardous or high-risk conditions in their nearby environment. Sensor data from wearable devices (also referred to herein as “wearables”) are used to determine the presence of various unsafe environmental conditions and phenomenon, including dangerous terrain or other unusual conditions. The wearable would be used to warn a person, for example via auditory or haptic-based feedback, if the person is about to encounter an unsafe condition. In particular, the proposed systems can be of great benefit to the visually impaired, those persons with physical disabilities, or persons otherwise vulnerable to particular environmental conditions.

Abstract: Technology for placing a user on-hold can include sending a push notification to a user device after the call has been placed on-hold. A link in the push notification can request authentication credentials from the user. When the authentication credentials have been received and verified, a chat window can be launched via an application on the user device. The intent of the call can be determined based at least in part by information received via the chat window. The authentication information and the intent of the call can be transferred to a representative answering the call.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to instructions to compartmentalize memory accesses and execution (e.g., non-speculative and speculative) are described.

Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store an adapted network that is configured to generate a modified image based on a single image. The device includes a processor configured to obtain, from a stream of video data, a first distorted image depicting an object, and to provide the first distorted image to the adapted network to generate a first modified image. The processor is configured to obtain, from the stream of video data, a second distorted image depicting the object, and to provide the second distorted image to the adapted network to generate a second modified image. The object is distorted differently in the second distorted image than in the first distorted image. The processor is configured to generate a video output including the first modified image and the second modified image without visible artifacts due to distortion differences between the first distorted image and the second distorted image.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a sprung mass including a cabin coupled to a chassis, tractive assemblies each including at least one tractive element, springs coupling the tractive elements to the sprung mass, each spring imparting an upward force on the sprung mass, load sensors each configured to provide a signal indicative of the force imparted by one of the springs, and a controller operatively coupled to the load sensors. The controller is configured to determine a weight of the sprung mass using the signals from the load sensors and monitor at least one operational condition of the vehicle. The controller is configured to determine whether or not to disable determination of the weight based on the at least one operational condition.

Abstract: Technology for determining a queue position of a call from a user can include receiving, at an enterprise, the call from a user device associated with the user. The user device includes an application associated with the enterprise. The call is placed into an on-hold queue. A weighted level of importance associated with the call is determined based on call history information associated with the user device and call frequency associated with the user. The weighted level of importance is compared to at least one weight threshold. A wait time for the call is decreased based on the weighted level of importance meeting or exceeding the at least one weight threshold.
