Abstract: According to one implementation, an automated audio mapping system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing an audio mapping software code including an artificial neural network (ANN) trained to identify multiple different audio content types. The hardware processor is configured to execute the audio mapping software code to receive content including multiple audio tracks, and to identify, without using the ANN, a first music track and a second music track of the multiple audio tracks. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the audio mapping software code to identify, using the ANN, the audio content type of each of the multiple audio tracks except the first music track and the second music track, and to output a mapped content file including the multiple audio tracks each assigned to a respective one predetermined audio channel based on its identified audio content type.

Abstract: A switch for transferring data including a master unit. The switch including a plurality of slave units. The switch including a bus through which the master unit communicates with the slave units. The switch including a memory in communication with the master unit having a software program which causes the switch to automatically recover when a slave unit fails. A method for transferring data. A software program.

Abstract: A portable computer system with an ergonomic input device is comprised of a housing having a top surface. A central processing unit is carried in the housing. A heads-up display is provided for displaying information to a user, with certain of the information being selectable by the user. The display is under the control of the central processing unit. A first rotary switch produces a first input signal for identifying the information to be selected. A second input switch produces a second input signal for selecting the identified information. Both the first and second input switches are carried on the top surface of the housing. An input interface receives the first and second input signals and encodes the information therein into an eight bit byte for input to the central processing unit. In one embodiment, the housing may be carried in a case which is worn by the user while the heads-up display is positioned proximate to the user's eye by a headband.

Abstract: A rollable intraocular lens and related methods of fabrication and implantation. The lens includes a lens body having first and second faces, a peripheral edge, and first and second flared portions spaced from one another along the peripheral edge. A first haptic element is attached to the flexible lens body at the first flared portion and a second haptic element is attached to the flexible lens body at the second flared portion. The lens body is foldable along an axis between the first and second flared portions to reduce the insertion profile of the lens.
