Abstract: Techniques for secure fast channel change in live content streaming are described. In some embodiments, during content preparation, a packager and/or an encoder encrypts media content items at both the service level (e.g., by encrypting a first portion of the plurality of segments with a service level access key unique to a service) and the channel level (e.g., by encrypting a second portion of the plurality of segments with a channel level access key unique to a channel associated with the service). On the receiving end, a client device (e.g., a media player) requests a service level access key prior to content acquisition. As such, a client can join any channel on a segment protected with the service level key without waiting for a license for that channel first, and the channel license can be acquired in parallel with the content acquisition during channel switching.

Abstract: An image capture system comprises a camera configured to capture an image of a whiteboard, or similar, viewed from an acute angle. A linear polarizer has a surface substantially perpendicular to a plane of the board and an axis of polarization substantially perpendicular to the plane of the board or within 30° of the perpendicular to the plane of the board. The camera is configured to capture the image of the board through the polarizer. A normal to the polarizer is directed in a different direction to a direction defined by an optic axis of the camera.

Abstract: A method of chromatically-corrected image demosaicing for a sensor with a colour filter array (CFA) such as a Bayer filter array. The demosaicing makes use of local chromatic aberration correction data to determine chromatically-corrected pixel positions for spatial interpolation. In implementations a chromatically-corrected quadratic adjustment is also applied.

Abstract: In immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL), the unique antibody light chain (LC) protein that is secreted by monoclonal plasma cells in each patient misfolds and/or aggregates, a process leading to organ degeneration. For treating AL patients, such as those with substantial cardiac involvement who have difficulty tolerating existing chemotherapy regimens, provided herein are small molecule compounds of Formula Ia, Formula Ib, and Formula II that are kinetic stabilizers of the native dimeric structure of full-length LCs, which compounds can slow or stop the amyloidogenicity cascade at its origin.

The apparatus having an LED arrangement at a port assembly configured for illumination at the port and configured to provide illumination via the cable to a remote end of the link. An identifier providing component controls the LED arrangement based on a unique attribute of the link including: detecting a status change of a link; obtaining the unique attribute related to the link from a layer of a protocol received on both ends of the link; selecting an identifier based on the unique attribute related to the link; and instructing the LED arrangement to be configured to provide a light output of the selected identifier.

Abstract: A GaN layer of micro-LEDs is exposed to ion implantation to amorphize one or more regions of the GaN layer. As a result, the GaN layer through which light rays propagate have non-uniform refractive indexes that modify propagation paths of some light rays. Ions are implanted in a region overlapping an active region that emits light to function as a converging GRIN (gradient-index) lens. The ion implanted regions collimate light rays that propagate along predetermined directions. As such, the light extraction from and the focus of the micro-LEDs is increased.

Abstract: A method for generating motion-corrected medical images includes obtaining, via a processor, k-space data of a region of interest acquired by a magnetic resonance imaging system utilizing a 3D radial pulse sequence with ZTE acquisition including optional magnetization preparation pulses. The method also includes sampling, via the processor, the k-space data to obtain a plurality of interleaved k-space segments. The method further includes reconstructing, via the processor, one or more interleaved k-space segments of the plurality of interleaved k-space segments to generate a respective motion navigator volume. The method even further includes co-registering, via the processor, each respective motion navigator volume to estimate motion and performing motion correction on the one or more interleaved k-space segments and their corresponding k-space trajectories.

Abstract: Techniques for rapid video on demand (VOD) media content breach response are described. In some embodiments, during content preparation, a server generates an encrypted media content item by generating a first encrypted portion using a first key derived from a first seed that is of a first type and generating a second encrypted portion using a second key derived from a second seed that is of a second type. In some embodiments, the server classifies the first portion in a first category (e.g., a prioritized category) and the second portion in a second category (e.g., a non-prioritized category). During a breach response, the server repairs the encrypted media content item by re-encrypting portions in the first category, e.g., re-encrypting the first encrypted portion using a replacement key derived from a replacement seed that is of the first type, and updating encryption metadata.
