Abstract: The present application is at least directed to a system including a processor and non-transitory memory including computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform receiving, via a user operating the system, a selection of a mode for recognizing objects. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions of causing a camera operably coupled to the system to operate in the selected mode for recognizing objects. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions of receiving, via the user operating the system, an image of a selected object. The processor is even further configured to execute the instructions of evaluating, via a trained machine learning model, one or more attributes of the selected object. The processor is yet further configured to execute the instructions of generating an image description based on at least a subset of the evaluated one or more attributes.

Abstract: The free-space gesture MIDI controller technique described herein marries the technologies embodied in a free-space gesture controller with MIDI controller technology, allowing a user to control an infinite variety of electronic musical instruments through body gesture and pose. One embodiment of the free-space gesture MIDI controller technique described herein uses a human body gesture recognition capability of a free-space gesture control system and translates human gestures into musical actions. Rather than directly connecting a specific musical instrument to the free-space gesture controller, the technique generalizes its capability and instead outputs standard MIDI signals, thereby allowing the free-space gesture control system to control any MIDI-capable instrument.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for scheduling reservations across a communications networks receives a plurality of connection requests specifying a time for the connection, and attempts to find a route for the connection. If an available route is found, the connection is reserved in advance. Unscheduled connection requests are stored in the list, which is generated as a display view at a graphical user interface. Similarly, reserved connections are stored in another list which forms a basis for a display view of reserved connections. The list of reserved connections is used by a network controller to implement the reserved connections at the appropriate times.

Abstract: A method of managing a communications network is described which makes use of information about the current state of the network and in addition, information about past and/or future states of the network. Information about the current state of the network is stored in a management information base (MIB) and the information about the past/future states is either stored in this MIB, or separate past/future MIBs are created. The information about the past/future states is stored in a way such that it can be operated on in the same way as the information about the current state of the network. By storing the information in this way management of the network is improved. For example, future states of the network can be tested before being implemented. Also, information about past states can be used to predict future states. Fault management, configuration management, accounting management and performance management can all be improved by using the information about past/future states.
