Abstract: A method of calibrating a multiple-input and multiple-output radar system is provided. The radar system includes a transmitting array and a physical receiving array. The transmitting array includes a first transmitter and a second transmitter spaced a distance away from the first transmitter. In the method, a waveform signal is transmitted firstly from the first transmitter and then from the second transmitter, such that receiving sub-apertures of the physical receiving array overlap with receiving sub-apertures of a virtual receiving array. The waveform signal is received at the physical and virtual receiving arrays. Subsequently, deviations in response between the physical receiving array and the virtual receiving array are computed. Effective positions of the first transmitter and the second transmitter are assessed, based upon the computed deviations. Setup calibrations needed for the multiple-input and multiple-output radar system are then determined, in order to reduce the computed deviations.

Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using natural language processing techniques to define, manipulate, and interact with consumer segmentations. In such embodiments a content consumption analytics engine can be configured to receive and process a natural language segmentation query. The query may comprise, for example, a command that defines a new segmentation, a command that manipulates existing segmentations, or a command that solicits information relating to existing consumer segmentations. The query is parsed to identify individual grammatical tokens which are then correlated with specific segment token types through the use of a token repository. A custom thesaurus is used to identify synonymous terms for grammatical tokens which may not exist in the token repository. User feedback enables the custom thesaurus to learn additional synonyms for future use.

Additionally, the technology may select, on the per image basis, a encoding amount for each region in the plurality of regions based on the luminance level.

Abstract: A computer apparatus is remotely initiated. Confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user remote from the computer apparatus is detected and confirmed via a wireless network. Booting of the computer apparatus is initiated based on receiving confirmation of the detected and authenticated presence of the user remote from the computer apparatus.
