Abstract: Drip irrigation emitters having low activation pressures, desirable flow rates, and are configured to clog less than existing emitters are provided. The disclosed emitters include membrane cavities that are devoid of a channel and a land to help advance fluid through the cavity, to an outlet, and to an outside environment. Instead, the membrane cavities have various shapes and configurations that, in conjunction with a depressed membrane, help to drive fluid out of the membrane cavity and to an outside environment. The shapes of the membrane cavities include a sinusoidal configuration, a cylindrical shape configuration, and a flat bottom configuration. Various features of such emitters, and methods of using the same, are also provided.

Abstract: A color electrophoretic display that includes sets of duplicative waveforms to reduce visible artifacts during image updates. Such methods include driving extra pixels where the boundary between a driven and undriven area would otherwise lead to artifact by providing paired sets of driving instructions, allowing the undriven area to be driven while maintain the desired (undriven) optical state.

Subsequently, method comprising generating root cause model based on the sub-graphs and the graph data structure information and generating at least one sub-graph cluster and corresponding probabilistic graphical model using the root cause model and the knowledge graph.

Abstract: A method for driving electro-optic displays so as to reduce visible artifacts are described. Such methods include driving extra pixels where the boundary between a driven and undriven area would otherwise lead to artifact by providing paired sets of driving instructions, allowing the undriven area to be driven while maintain the desired (undriven) optical state.

Abstract: There is provided systems and method for a virtual display device for an interactive merchant sales environment. A device, such as a communication device, may allow a user to view virtual images of items in a user environment so that a user may view what their potential purchase may look like when placed into the user environment. The user environment may include a residential room, an office, a car interior, or other location where a user may place purchased items. The user may submit a request to view an item in the user environment to the device, which may communicate the request to a merchant or a service provider. The virtual image may correspond to digital image(s) of an item used to present a three dimensional virtual image of the item in the user environment. The device may receive the virtual image(s) and display them to the user.

Abstract: A cover for an operator console of a machine includes a first section rotatably coupled to the operator console. The first section selectively rotates between a first position and a second position about a rotational axis. The cover also includes a second section rotatably coupled to the operator console and the first section. The second section selectively rotates between a third position and a fourth position about the rotational axis. The second section is also adapted to engage with the first section during rotation of the second section from the third position to the fourth position to rotate the first section from the first position to the second position. The second section is further adapted to engage with the first section during rotation of the second section from the fourth position to the third position to rotate the first section from the second position to the first position.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses method and a road region determination system for determining drivable road regions for safe navigation of an autonomous vehicle. The road region determination system receives real-time images of road in which autonomous vehicle is travelling, from image sensors. Each of real-time images of road is segmented into polygon regions and trend lines to obtain plurality of features using pre-trained road segmentation model. An orientation of the road is identified in real-time images as one of linear orientation and non-linear orientation based on slope measured between successive intermediate points distributed evenly on trend lines. The road region determination system manages redistribution of intermediate points on trend lines based on orientation of the road. Thereafter, paired points from intermediate points redistributed on the trend lines is identified, where paired points are connected using a horizontal line to determine drivable road regions for autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related in general to image processing and a method and system for generating a multi-level classifier for image processing. An image processing system may analyze an input image of a predetermined image type to extract unique key feature descriptors associated with the input image. Further, the unique key feature descriptors are resized into a predefined standard template format which is utilized to develop an image type classifier. Furthermore, the unique key feature descriptors are resized into each of one or more template classifiers of the predetermined image type. Further, signal quality value of each of the template classifiers is determined by validating each of the unique key feature descriptors resized based on each of the template classifiers and an image prediction classifier is developed based on the signal quality value.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for generating communicable linkages that collectively provide a cloud-based dynamic credential selection and implementation system. The system generates a user profile containing user preferences, historic trends, and user resources based on information collected from a user and user associated accounts. The dynamic credential selection and implementation system is triggered by the user signaling the system of a proposed transaction. The system requests updated resource characteristics from resource managers. The user profile, resource characteristics and transaction characteristics are evaluated and ranked by the dynamic credential selection and implementation system before completion of the transaction, which in some embodiments requires user approval of the selected resource.
