Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for providing virtual experiences. The system accesses, by a messaging application, an image depicting a person. The system generates, by the messaging application, a three-dimensional (3D) avatar based on the person depicted in the image. The system receives input that selects a pose for the 3D avatar and one or more fashion items to be worn by the 3D avatar and places, by the messaging application, the 3D avatar in the selected pose and wearing the one or more fashion items in an augmented reality (AR) experience.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating a body mesh from a single image. The system predicts both a volumetric reconstruction tensor of the monocular image and a pose of an object by applying a first machine learning model to a monocular image. The system identifies a portion of the pose of the object that corresponds to a point in a canonical space associated with a set of position encoding information. The system obtains a point of the volumetric reconstruction tensor corresponding to the identified portion of the pose. The system classifies the obtained point as being inside or outside of a canonical volume by applying a second machine learning model to the obtained point of the volumetric reconstruction tensor together with the set of position encoding information. The system generates a three-dimensional (3D) mesh representing the object in the canonical space.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating an animatable garment from a single image. The system accesses a monocular image depicting a person wearing a fashion item and generates a three-dimensional (3D) mesh representing the person in a canonical space. The system determines a pose of the person depicted in the monocular image and modifies a pose of the 3D mesh to match the determined pose of the person. The system extracts a portion of the 3D mesh corresponding to the fashion item and generates an extended reality (XR) item using the extracted portion of the 3D mesh.

Abstract: An advanced manufacturing plant and process to efficiently deconstruct and recycle post-consumer carpet primarily in an aqueous environment. The water-based technology substantially eliminates airborne particulate emissions into the workplace and the environment. It also significantly increases the quality and quantity of the resources recovered from the carpet. In addition to recycling residential carpet, it also reclaims and recycles material from commercial broadloom carpet.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product for partitioned data replication are described. A data replication system can partition a file stored on a primary storage device into multiple data blocks, and store an index mapping the blocks and the file. Initially, the system can replicate the file and the index to a secondary storage device. The data stored in the file can change after the initial replication. The system can determine which block among the data blocks has changed by updating the index and comparing the updated index with the original index. The system can then replicate the change by replicating only the changed block and the updated index to the secondary system.

Abstract: System, method, and computer program product key compression and cached-locking are described. A computer system can store database files or operating system files in a tree data structure. The system can store data or metadata as key-value pairs in nodes of the tree data structure. The keys in the key-value pairs can have a hierarchical structure, which may or may not correspond to the tree data structure. The system can compress the keys by reducing duplicated storage of shared portions of the keys. The system can use an index in a tree node to represent the hierarchical structure of the key-value pairs stored in that tree node. To access a value in a key-value pair, the system can identify the tree node to search, query the index in that tree node to locate the value, and then access the value at the indexed location.

Abstract: Various wall-mounted cameras are disclosed that have embedded computer systems that functionally link the camera to various electronic devices, such as switches, lights, passive infra-red devices, and remote computer systems. The wall-mounted camera could be triggered by passive infra-red devices, which cause the camera to record video streams and transmit them to remote computer systems for analysis and triggering of alternative systems.

Abstract: A receiver with orthogonal beam forming technique is achieved that is capable of differentiating different signal components within the received composite signal. An adaptive processor is used to eliminate the signal component whose phase information is known or can be calculated. The phase information of the major component of a signal can be easily acquired by using a limiter. The phase information of other signal components can be acquired by their direction information and other characteristics, such as modulation scheme, etc. Multiple orthogonal beams can be formed by eliminating one unwanted signal component each time by the adaptive processor until all unwanted signal is eliminated. Thus, a composite signal from multiple sources can be broken down into their component signals.

Abstract: An advanced digital beam forming technique is achieved that is capable of simultaneously forming multiple beams and attenuating the cross-pol component at multiple locations. The proposed invention, comprising a series of signal inputs, optimization loops and weighting processes, successfully eliminates the side effect of an increase of the cross-pol in the process of beam-forming, thus reducing potential interference. This technique utilizes the orthogonally polarized signal component which is already available and can minimize both the horizontally polarized and vertically polarized cross-pol at the same time. The complexity of computation can be reduced by using only part of the orthogonal polarized components in the optimization.
