Abstract: In various examples, network conditions associated with a video stream are observed over time to determine a virtual scaling factor that may be applied to the images of one or more frames of the video stream to generate scaled images that may be appended with a padding region that maintains the original resolution of the video and/or video stream such that a receiving device may crop the padding region from the received video stream during the decoding process without restarting or including additional intra-coded frames.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting dynamic objects using a mesh network of nodes coupled to cameras are disclosed. The system can receive sequences of frames captured by a first capture device having a first pose and a second capture device having a second pose, and track objects over time across the first sequence of frames and the second sequence of frames. The system can map the objects to three-dimensional (3D) positions in a 3D coordinate space based on correspondences between the indications of the objects. The system can determine a 3D displacement of a subset of the 3D points, and generate a 3D volume surrounding the subset. The system can use the 3D volume to classify and predict a trajectory for the dynamic object, as well as determine a risk the dynamic object poses to a protected volume in the 3D coordinate space.

Abstract: A self-contained, low-cost, low-weight guidance system for vehicles is provided. The guidance system can include an optical camera, a case, a processor, a connection between the processor and an on-board control system, and computer algorithms running on the processor. The guidance system can be integrated with a vehicle control system through “plug and play” functionality or a more open Software Development Kit. The computer algorithms re-create 3D structures as the vehicle travels and continuously updates a 3D model of the environment. The guidance system continuously identifies and tracks terrain, static objects, and dynamic objects through real-time camera images. The guidance system can receive inputs from the camera and the onboard control system. The guidance system can be used to assist vehicle navigation and to avoid possible collisions. The guidance system can communicate with the control system and provide navigational direction to the control system.

Abstract: A marker delivery assembly for a biopsy device includes an integration module and a marker delivery module. The integration module includes a connector defining a cavity and a neck that extends outwardly from the cavity in a longitudinal direction. A transmission cover having a shaft is disposed about the neck, and further includes a spindle gear and a drum gear. A bevel drum is rotatably coupled to the drum gear and a pushrod is engaged to the bevel drum. The marker delivery module includes a marker housing releasably coupled to the integration module. A marker delivery cartridge engages the marker housing, and is rotatable between an initial position and a delivery position. The pushrod extends through the marker delivery cartridge and forces at least one marker into the biopsy device.

Abstract: A window assembly for attachment to a frame of a vehicle includes a window having a top, a bottom, sides, an outer surface, and an inner surface. A height of the window extends from the top to the bottom of the window. A width of the window extends between the sides of the window. A thickness of the window extends between the outer and inner surfaces. The window defines a plurality of slots. A clamp is securable to the frame of the vehicle for mounting the window assembly to the vehicle. A bolt is extendable through the clamp and window to couple the window to the clamp and frame. A fastener is engageable with the bolt to secure the window assembly to the frame.

Abstract: A performance metrics of a receiver is obtained using frames of an application hosted by a server that are received via a network. The one or more performance metrics include information indicative of a current occupancy of a frame buffer corresponding to the receiver and information indicative of a target occupancy of the frame buffer corresponding to the receiver. The frame buffer of the receiver is used to queue frames of the application for display. A frame rate associated with rendering at least one next frame of the application is adjusted using the one or more performance metrics of the receiver to control population of the frame buffer. Subsequent frames of the application hosted by the server are rendered using the adjusted frame rate. Upon rendering the subsequent frames, the server sends the subsequent frames to the receiver for display.

Abstract: Disclosed is an identification system to improve safety on roads and allow for the driver or for the vehicle itself, if it is autonomous or semi-autonomous, to have readable and useful information about road signs, roadways, and adjacent roadway information. The disclosed identification system comprises a marker with marker communication information that can be read by a vehicle information system to provide information to the vehicle. Information that the marker communication information may convey would allow the vehicle information system to detect or recognize, or both detect and recognize critical road sign, roadway information, and adjacent roadway information. Then, the vehicle information system could respond to the information received from the marker communication information.
