Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient information deficiency processing. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing/executing label-based information deficiency processing. In one example, a method includes receiving a predictive input associated with a predictive entity based on the predictive input; determining a plurality of encoding probability values for the predictive entity based on the predictive input; determining a plurality of attention-based encoding vectors for the predictive entity based on the plurality of encoding probability values; determining an encoding deficiency prediction for the predictive entity, wherein the encoding deficiency prediction indicates a deficient subset of a plurality of encoding designations; and for each encoding designation in the deficient subset, performing a corresponding prediction-based action.

Abstract: An example user network provides information and entertainment for users via handheld information terminals. The “look and feel” and personality of the handheld information terminals can be location-specific so that the most relevant information and entertainment can be provided to users in a useful and appealing manner.

Abstract: A digital camera accessory is provided for use with a game system having a processing system to execute a video game program and player controls operable by a user to generate video game control signals. The digital camera accessory includes an image sensor for capturing video images, communication circuitry configured to transmit the captured video images, and a connector that, in use, electrically connects the digital camera accessory to the game system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for pre-stressing devices incorporating materials subject to stress softening is disclosed, as well as the resulting device. The method includes fabricating a heart valve with an inflow side and an outflow side. At least a portion of the heart valve includes a material subject to stress softening. The material experiences stress when a pressure differential occurs between the inflow side and the outflow side of the valve. The method includes creating a stress in the material prior to implantation in order to stabilize the stress/strain response of the material prior to implantation.
