Abstract: A vertical axis turbine having a first rotor and at least one second rotor, the first rotor being configured to rotate around a first rotation axis that is vertical or more vertical than horizontal, in use. The first rotor may be configured to be driven and/or rotated by fluid motion, e.g. by wind or water flow. The at least one second rotor is provided on or coupled to the first rotor such that the first rotor is operable to move the second rotor through the fluid and thereby drive the second rotor upon rotation of the first rotor. The second rotor is operable to drive a power take off system. Optionally, rotation of the first rotor around the first rotation axis moves the second rotor around the first rotation axis. Each second rotor rotates around a respective second rotation axis that may be angled or perpendicular to the first rotation axis of the first rotor and is optionally a horizontal axis or at least an axis that is more horizontal than vertical, in use.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for target object position prediction includes receiving, via an RGB camera a plurality of images depicting one or more persons positioned on a floor. A plurality of person location labels is assigned to each image indicating where the one or more persons are located relative to the floor. A foot position (FP) classifier is trained to classify the images into the person location labels, wherein the FP classifier is configured according to a multi-layer architecture and the training results in determination of a plurality of weights for connecting layers in the multi-layer architecture. A deployment of the FP classifier is created based on the multi-layer architecture, the plurality of weights, and the plurality of person location labels.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for customizing a software application for a target market. A request to access an application is received, by one or more computer servers, from a user. At least one of a preferred language of the user and a location of the user are determined by the one or more computer servers, and a target market is determined using the at least one of the preferred language of the user and the location of the user. The target market defines a language and a region. The application is rendered by the one or more computer servers by modifying at least one of a user interface of the application and a content of the application using the target market.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for providing dynamic media sessions with video stream transfer features are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include: receiving an indication that presentation of the video content item is to be transferred from the first display device to a different display device; in response to receiving the indication, determining whether the first display device supports transferring the presentation of the video content item and determining whether the different display device is capable of presenting the video content item; and transmitting an indication that presentation of the video content item is to be transferred from the first display device to the different display device, wherein the video content item is played back using the different display device from a playback position that is based on the playback state from the first display device.

In some embodiments, the methods include: receiving an indication that audio content associated with a video content item is to be presented by a follower device synchronously with the audio content presented by the leader device; identifying candidate follower devices by determining whether devices connected to a local area network are capable of being designated as a follower device; causing a user interface to be presented that indicates each candidate follower device; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one of the candidate follower devices; and transmitting, from the leader to the selected follower device, control instructions that cause the audio content associated with the video content item to be presented synchronously by the selected follower device with the video content item presented by the leader device.

Abstract: An endoluminal punch with a penetrating stylet and a vibration generator. The vibration generator is operable to cause vibrations and rapid reciprocation of the distal tip of the stylet to facilitate penetration of the stylet through resistant body tissue such as the fossa ovalis. The vibration generator may also be operable to cause vibration of the distal tip of the punch itself, to facilitate passage of the punch through an initial perforation created by the stylet.

Abstract: An endoluminal needle or punch is describes wherein the distal end of the endoluminal needle is able to articulate laterally out of the longitudinal axis of the steerable endoluminal needle.
