Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at a thermal modeling module, data from a Power Sourcing Equipment device (PSE) for cables extending from the PSE to Powered Devices (PDs), the cables configured to transmit power and data from the PSE to the PDs, calculating at the thermal modeling module, thermal characteristics for the cables based on the data, and identifying a thermal rise above a specified threshold at one of the cables. The data comprises real-time electrical data for the cables. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a spike event decision-making device, method, chip, and electronic device to eliminate inherent delays of an output spike event of the neuromorphic chip when reading decisions. The spike event decision-making device includes a first counting module configured to count a number of input spike events of the spiking neural network, a second counting module configured to count some or all of the output spike events of the spiking neural network; and a decision-making module configured to generate a decision-making result according to numbers of spike events fired by neurons in an output layer of the spiking neural network when the number counted by the first counting module reaches a first predetermined value, or when the total count counted by the second counting module reaches a second predetermined value.

Abstract: In aspects, the present approaches allow neural networks to be taught to understand patterns of human behavior without the need of expert data labeling or laboratory studies. First and second neural networks are trained to understand these patterns without labeling. Once trained, the neural networks can be deployed with a trained classifier to determine or classify human activity based upon received sensor inputs.

Abstract: A divisive normalization method, device, audio feature extractor, and a chip are disclosed. For improving the robustness against variations of the background noise, the proposed per-channel divisive normalization method comprises: obtaining an average number of input spikes over an averaging window by a low-pass filter to produce a threshold parameter, then deciding whether to enable an integrate-and fire (IAF) counter counting over a clock period of a divisive normalization module, when the count value of IAF counter reaches the threshold, resetting IAF counter and producing a single spike at the output. Compared with the prior art, the proposed method does not require any Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and is easier to implement. It also has a simpler structure, higher accuracy and better statistical performance, and a lower cost and a lower power consumption.

Abstract: An integration platform provides a third party channel products from a merchant, so that the third party channel may cause an opportunity to be presented to a user to purchase one of the products. In response to an indication of a user purchase, the integration platform transmits a purchase request to the electronic commerce platform to create an order for the purchase. The integration platform may create a payment for the purchase with the merchant's payment processor and transmit the payment to the payment processor, update the order with the merchant's electronic commerce platform with the payment information, update the status of the order to shipped, and capture payment information by communicating with the payment provider. The merchant's electronic commerce platform may then update the order with the integration platform, which may notify the third party channel of the update so that update may be communicated to the user.

Abstract: A system and application for purchasing one or more items via quick online transactions from a vendor system is provided. An electronic shopping page listing products for sale and corresponding buy selectors is provided on a user device that includes the quick transaction system. Upon user selection of a buy selector, the user's log on status and payment information are determined, and, if necessary, the user is prompted to log on to the quick transaction application and/or complete any missing user payment information if necessary. A single click or tap on the buy selector generates a completed purchase transaction without the need for a shopping cart or user checkout process. Methods and machine-readable medium for quick online transactions are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for video collaboration enhancement are presented. An example system can include one or more computer processors programmed to perform one or more operations. In some examples, the one or more operations can include initiating a virtual camera, where the virtual camera can be configured to output an augmented video feed, the augmented video feed including one or more virtual overlay effects. In some examples, the one or more operations can include combining one or more virtual overlay effects with a video feed received from a physical camera to form the augmented video feed, where the one or more virtual overlay effects are displayed in conjunction with the video feed received from a physical camera. In some examples, the one or more operations can include displaying the augmented video feed on a display device.

Abstract: An estimate of a functional capacity such as VO2Max is made by applying the vital signs of a monitored human to a trained encoding neural network producing a cardio profile vector. The vector is applied to a trained functional capacity (VO2Max) neural network to estimate the functional capacity. Once estimated, an action is taken.
