Abstract: An object recognition determination produced by a perception system from data received from a ranging sensor system can be verified. A certificate can be produced that includes data for points of readings from the ranging sensor system. The points can have been segmented, by the perception system, into point sets that correspond to objects in an environment of a cyber-physical system. The certificate can also include lists of pairs of points in a point set and a velocity of the point set. A test of information in the certificate can be performed. Based on a result of the test: a rectification can be made to the perception system or the ranging sensor system or a communication can be transmitted to a control signal production module configured to produce, in response to the communication, a control signal to be transmitted to an actuator system configured to control the cyber-physical system.

Abstract: In a user device, a determination may be made as to whether an audio output device has been connected to an audio port of the user device. When it is determined that the connection has been made, instructions may be sent to a server, instructing the server to identify only audio content. The audio content identified by the server may be identified by the server in a manner consistent with preferences of the user. The server may send one or more identifiers of the audio content to a user interface of the user device. A selection of a particular audio content item in the audio content may be received at the user device. The corresponding audio content may be received from the server. The audio content may be output via the audio port of the user device. The determining of whether a connection has been made to an audio port, the instructing of the server by the user device, and receiving may be performed by an aggregator application executing on the user device.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring electromagnetic energy includes a coil arrangement operable to transmit magnetic flux to a receiver or to receive magnetic flux from a transmitter, wherein the coil arrangement includes a main coil and at least one auxiliary coil electrically combined with the main coil such that the combination of the main coil and the at least one auxiliary coil is arranged to alter an electromagnetic coupling between the coil arrangement and the transmitter or the receiver to increase an operation alignment range between the coil arrangement and the transmitter or the receiver.

Abstract: The home viewing of movies currently being shown in one or more theaters is facilitated. Facilitating home viewing of first-run, feature length movies may increase the amount of money earned during the theatre run of the movies. For example, this may enable users that would not be able to view movies in the theatre, and/or that would not be willing to view at least some of the movies in the theatre, to purchase the ability to view the movies.
