Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for improved feature correlation. For instance, an apparatus for improved featured correlation is provided. The method may include a projector configured to project a pattern into a scene for feature correlation by an imaging device that captures images of the pattern as projected into the scene; wherein the apparatus is separate from the imaging device.

Abstract: RhoA inhibitors that can covalently bind RhoA are described herein. The disclosed RhoA inhibitors show improved inhibitory efficacy (i.e., an IC50 value down to about 400 nM). Further, the disclosed RhoA inhibitors can specifically bind RhoA over other GTPases, such as other Ras GTPases (e.g., K-Ras and N-Ras) and particularly other Rho GTPases (e.g., Cdc42 and Rac1). The combination of high RhoA inhibitory efficacy and high RhoA specificity of the disclosed RhoA inhibitors allow these compounds to show high cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic effects in cancer cells, with negligible toxicity in normal cells, in vitro and in vivo. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the RhoA inhibitors and methods of using the RhoA inhibitors or pharmaceutical composition thereof for treating cancer are also described.

Abstract: In various aspects and embodiments, the invention relates to bacterial strains and methods for making terpene and terpenoid products. The invention provides bacterial strains with improved carbon flux through the MEP pathway, to thereby increase terpene and/or terpenoid product yield by fermentation with carbon sources such as glucose.

Abstract: In some examples, a display device includes a panel, a scaler circuit, and a backlight control circuit. In some examples, the scaler circuit receives a panel identification from the panel and determines a backlight module driving configuration based on the panel identification. In some examples, the backlight control circuit receives the backlight module driving configuration from the scaler circuit and controls a backlight for the panel based on the backlight module driving configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides methods of implanting an implantable device in contact with a brain of a subject. Also provided are kits and systems for the implantation of one or more implantable devices.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for wireless communication. For example, a process can include obtaining a first image of an environment, the first image including a pattern of light. The process can further include determining a pixel window for a pixel of the first image; determining a set of transform pixels based on the pattern of light, wherein the set of transform pixels are a subset of pixels from the pixel window; performing a census transform based on the pixel and the set of transform pixels to obtain census transform information for the first image; and generating depth data based on the census transform information for the first image and census transform information for a second image.

Abstract: A method of automatic configuration of a communications interface of an unknown data network, the method comprising connecting an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) to the unknown data network, attempting to open communication ports, in response to attempting to open communication ports, receiving data from the unknown data network, determining, by a controller module, if the selected communications interface can interpret the received data, and operating the communications interface of the EFB in accordance with the selected communications interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating monitoring of a first user of a plurality of users is provided. The method involves causing at least one processor to receive a first user device identifier for identifying a first user device associated with the first user and first user registration information associated with the first user, causing the at least one processor to store in memory the first user device identifier and first user information including the first user registration information, causing the at least one processor to receive a first information request including the first user device identifier, and causing the at least one processor to produce signals representing the first user information for causing at least one display to display the first user information to be displayed in association with a representation of a location of the first user. Apparatuses, systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: A method for a fuel system is provided, comprising: during a first engine-off condition, coupling a fuel tank to a fuel vapor canister, and indicating degradation based on a change in pressure at the fuel vapor canister, and during a second engine-off condition, coupling the fuel vapor canister to an intake of an engine, and indicating degradation based on a change in pressure at the fuel vapor canister. The first engine-off condition may include an absolute fuel tank pressure greater than a threshold, while the second engine-off condition may include an engine spinning unfueled. In this way, a vacuum or pressure may be applied to the fuel vapor canister during an engine-off condition without requiring a dedicated vacuum pump coupled to the fuel vapor canister.
