Abstract: A robust, reliable, and efficient UHD HDR Internet Protocol IP client device, such as a set top box, receives content, for example, from a cable service provider so that the content can be displayed to a compatible display device with improved visual effect. The content is 4K or higher content that requires UHD/HDR for a satisfactory user experience. The UHD provides for an improved resolution of the content while HDR provides for a more intense or greater contrast range of the content when displayed on a compatible display device.

Abstract: A computing system for generating predicted images along a trajectory of unseen viewpoints. The system can obtain one or more spatial observations of an environment that may be captured from one or more previous camera poses. The system can generate a three-dimensional point cloud for the environment from the one or more spatial observations and the one or more previous camera poses. The system can project the three-dimensional point cloud into two-dimensional space to form one or more guidance spatial observations. The system can process the one or more guidance spatial observations with a machine-learned spatial observation prediction model to generate one or more predicted spatial observations. The system can process the one or more predicted spatial observations and image data with a machine-learned image prediction model to generate one or more predicted images from the target camera pose. The system can output the one or more predicted images.

Abstract: A Counting Machine for Manufacturing and Validating Event-Relevant IDs, tagged with both Trust and Confidence Scores, for Specific Entities (Individuals and Enterprises) and their Prosoponyms using a Managed Secure-Immutable-Nonreputable-Replicated-Verifiable and Fault-Tolerant Distributed Datastore via an Ensemble-Based Network of both Existing and Newly-Created Heterogenous Single- and Multi-Factor ID Validation Services, the Ensemble consisting of both Commercial Organizations (known as Members) requiring valid Entity IDs for use during various events, such as purchase transactions, and Service Providers (known as Partners) who supply technology services for ID validation (as standalone services or as licensed by Members). The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: Stacked integrated circuit devices, chip packages and methods for operating a chip package are described herein that provide an increased level of backside protection from physical attacks that could compromise confidentiality or authentication of the integrated circuit device. In one example, a chip stack includes a sacrificial integrated circuit (IC) die stacked with a primary IC die. The sacrificial IC die includes a first split key information source. The primary IC die has security circuitry configured to generate an encryption key based at least in part on first split key information transmitted from the sacrificial IC die across a die-to-die interface to the primary IC die. Separation of the dies to probe or modify of the primary IC die would cause the destruction of split key information required to operate the functional circuitry of the primary IC die.

Abstract: An innovative passive cooling solution with sealed UAV enclosure system allows heat from a semiconductor chip to be dissipated to the ambient environment through evaporation/condensation phase-change cooling and air cooling a heat sink such as a fin without any additional power consumption to operate cooling solution. One example of such a solution may include a pipe with a fin and a fluid. The pipe may include a wick structure along an inner surface of the pipe configured to allow the fluid to travel within the wick structure and to allow a vapor form of the fluid to exit the wick structure towards a center of the pipe.

Abstract: A replacement heart valve prosthesis is loaded onto a balloon mounted onto a balloon shaft of a catheter system. The balloon shaft is rotatably engaged with an actuator on the handle of the catheter system. Rotation of the actuator by a first amount in a first direction permits rotation of the heart valve prosthesis by a known amount during the procedure so that alignment of the commissures of the replacement valve with the commissures of the existing valve can be predictably achieved.

Abstract: A rotor includes a plurality of rotor cores arranged in a vertical stack, an end plate having a specified roughness on a surface engaging the vertical stack, and a binder material bonding the end plate to the vertical stack of rotor cores. The specified roughness is configured to allow venting of air beyond the end plate and to prevent passage of resin beyond the end plate.

Abstract: A stacked plurality of alternating laminations and adhesive layers of a rotor are arranged such that each of the adhesive layers bonds an outer periphery of an adjacent pair of the laminations together. Each of the laminations includes a plurality of interlocks, disposed about a central region of the lamination radially inside the outer periphery and lacking presence of any of the adhesive layers, that engage a same adjacent one of the laminations.

Abstract: A framing tool supports one end of beam member while the other end of the beam is secured to another beam or structure. The framing tool includes a support portion, a receiving portion and a strap. The strap wraps around a beam member to secure the beam member within the receiving portion. The support portion holds one end of the beam member in place so that an installer may secure the other end of the beam member without the aid of another installer.

Abstract: An waveguide on access tube (WOAT) system measures soil moisture by sensors placed at various depths of a medium, such as soil. The WOAT system includes a rigid tube into which an inflatable tube with various sensors bonded to it is inserted. Once in place, the rigid tube is removed and the inflatable tube and its sensor are inflated to the diameter of the hole or channel in which it is positioned. The ability to inflate the inflatable tube allows for the sensors on the inflatable tube to be force fit against the interior wall of the hole or channel for proper soil or ambient environment measurements.
