  • Publication number: 20240333961
    Abstract: Generating a compound predictor block includes generating a first predictor block and generating a second predictor block. The first predictor block includes a first pixel and the second predictor block includes a second pixel. The first and the second pixels are located at a same location within the first predictor block and the second predictor block, respectively. A first weight is determined for the first pixel based on a difference between a first value of the first pixel and a second value of the second pixel. A second weight is determined for the second pixel based on the first weight. The compound predictor block is generated by combining the first predictor block and the second predictor block. The compound predictor block includes a weighted pixel that is determined based on a weighted sum of the first pixel and the second pixel based on the first weight and the second weight.

  • Patent number: 12083657
    Abstract: A fastening tool for driving a fastener into a workpiece is described herein. The fastening tool includes a contact trip, a magnet, and a magnetometer. The contact trip is disposed at a first end of the fastening tool and is configured to move toward a second end of the fastening tool opposite of the first end when the contact trip engages the workpiece. The magnet is configured to generate a magnetic field. The magnet is coupled to the contact trip such that movement of the contact trip causes the magnet to move. The magnetometer is configured to detect a change in the magnetic field generated by the magnet when the magnet moves relative to the magnetometer and, based on the detected change in the magnetic field, to generate a signal indicating when the contact trip engages the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20240255943
    Abstract: Technology for generating and displaying a graphical user interface for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed herein that generates and updates a representation of a spline flight path. In various implementations, a graphical user interface detects user interactions with a remote control device directing the flight control subsystem of the UAV to record keyframes and to compute a spline based on the keyframes during flight. The graphical user interface displays a real-time perspective of the UAV with a representation of the spline and the keyframes overlaying the view. The graphical user interface continually updates the representation as the UAV flies and when the spline is updated as the keyframes are updated.

  • Publication number: 20240061690
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes embedding natural language processing (NLP) and/or user action capture into a browser to monitor a user's intent when navigating web page(s) within the browser. An indication of a navigation to a first web page via the browser is received and it is determined whether a first action attempted to be taken on the first web page matches the user's intent. In response to a determination that the first action attempted to be taken on the first web page does not match the user's intent, an intent-based blocking action is issued to prevent the first action on the first web page. A computer program product according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

  • Publication number: 20230335217
    Abstract: Disclosed is a configuration for determining a genotyping label composition of a target individual using direct acyclic paths. The configuration includes receiving a phased genotype of the target individual, including a first haplotype and a second haplotype. The configuration initiates a full-ethnicity hidden Markov model (HMM) including nodes with a set of ethnicity labels. The first haplotype is input to determine a first subset of ethnicity labels that match the first haplotype. The second haplotype is input to determine a second subset of ethnicity labels that match the second haplotype. The first and second subsets of ethnicity labels are combined to create a candidate subset of ethnicity labels for the target individual. The configuration initiates a simplified HMM with nodes from the candidate subset of ethnicity labels. The phased genotype of the target individual is input to the simplified HMM to determine genotyping label composition of the target individual.

  • Publication number: 20230336517
    Abstract: Techniques for limiting unwanted comments are described. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a first account of the social networking system, a request to post content. In some examples, the social networking system may further receive an instruction to limit an ability of certain accounts lacking a characteristic from commenting on the first account’s content. In some cases, the social networking system may receive, from a second account. Upon determining that the second account lacks the characteristic, the social networking system may refrain from sharing the comment with one or more additional users.

  • Patent number: 11624557
    Abstract: A material drying system, method, and control system therefor that provides for consistent and efficient drying of various materials is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a vacuum kiln can use various temperature measurements to reduce the chance of overheating the materials. In certain embodiments, a vacuum kiln (or a control system therefore) can use sensed information, such as the temperature differential across a platen assembly or the duty cycle of a vacuum pump, to determine when a large group of material has reached a substantially uniform dryness level. In certain embodiments, a vacuum kiln as disclosed herein can reduce checking, splitting, over-drying, and under-drying of material without requiring parameters from a user.
