Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes one or more processors configured to define a virtual model of a workspace that is world-locked to a three-dimensional environment by a pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to adjust a fit of the virtual model to the workspace by adjusting a position of a virtual component of the virtual model relative to the pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to receive telemetry data including position information indicating a location of a telemetry event relative to the pair of anchor points in the workspace, and determine a visualization model based on the virtual model of the workspace, and project telemetry data to the visualization model based on a mapping of a pair of points in the visualization model to the pair of anchor points in the virtual model.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, design structures, and other implementations, including a method for crest factor reduction (CFR) processing that includes receiving a first complex-valued sample of a signal for radio transmission, determining a resultant clipped complex-valued sample for the first complex-valued sample, resulting from projection of a second complex-valued sample, associated with the first complex-valued sample, into a selected one of a plurality of different tangent lines that are tangential to a circle representation with a radius h in a complex-valued plane, and processing the signal using the determined clipped complex-valued sample to produce a resultant CFR signal.

Abstract: A service management system prepares computing resources for use before a client requests the resource. For example, a service management system of a provider may restore an operating system image to a volume. The service management may then assign a processing resource to the volume to form a virtual machine. The service management system may cause the processing resource to finish preparation of the operating system on the volume. The service management system may disconnect the resulting staged volume from the processing resource. The staged volume may remain active in the low-latency data store and be added to a list of available staged volumes having the operating system. When a client requests a virtual machine having an operating system, the service management system may determine that the client receives the staged volume as part of the virtual machine to avoid the start-up costs of preparing a volume.

Abstract: A system and method for providing content for broadcast by a messaging platform, including: receiving an identifier selected by a user of a client computing device during composition of a message; identifying a content provider associated with the identifier; providing, by a computer processor, a set of content items of the content provider for presentation by the client computing device, wherein the user of the client computing device selects a content item from the presented set of content items; and broadcasting the message with a reference to the selected content item to a plurality of accounts of the messaging platform.

Abstract: Message corrections are effected on a user electronic device using a touch-based user interface. In response to user input in a messaging application input field indicating that a replacement or correction operation is to be carried out, the device identifies multiple strings corresponding to the correction in at least one previous message sent by the messaging application. These strings are presented in context in a user interface in a visually distinguished manner, such as highlighting. The strings may be presented with replacement text. The user then confirms which strings are to be corrected by touch input at the location of the string in the user interface. In response to the touch input, the previous message is updated with the desired changes. The updated message can then be sent to a recipient. The user interface can be used in find and replace or spellcheck operations in an editing or composition application.

Abstract: A wearable computing device is provided, comprising a camera and a microphone operatively coupled to a processor. Using both camera image data and speech recognition data, an object is detected and classified as an inventory item and inventory event. The inventory item and inventory event are subsequently recorded into an inventory database. Classifiers used to determine the inventory item and inventory event from the image data and speech may be cross trained based on the relative confidence values associated with each.

Abstract: A host computing device can include a host domain that includes an agent for configuring the operation and/or functionality of virtual machine instances and/or operating systems associated with the instances, which may be heterogeneous (i.e., running different operating systems than each other). One or more data volumes associated with the host machine can include an image of an operating system. In an embodiment the agent can access the image of the operating system and configure operating system settings, add data, and/or remove data.

Abstract: A method and mobile transceiver providing container security is described. In accordance with one aspect, there is provided a method of operating a mobile transceiver comprising a processor, memory, wireless transceiver and radiation detector. The method comprises detecting, by the radiation detector, radiation emitted from a radioactive emitter. The radiation detector and the radioactive emitter are arranged such that a substantially constant rate of radiation from the radioactive emitter is detected when one or more doors of the shipping container are closed. When the detected radiation is outside a tolerance of the constant rate, the processor wakes up the processor from a low power mode, and updates an asset tracking log stored in the memory by adding a record representing a door open event.
