Abstract: A latching mechanism includes a body having a trip-latch with a protruding portion that protrudes from the body, a release button coupled to a release shaft disposed inside the body, and a holding edge disposed on the release shaft. The holding edge engages the trip-latch to maintain the release button in a depressed position. The holding edge disengages the trip-latch to place the release button in a non-depressed position in response to urging the protruding portion of the trip latch toward the rotatable body. The latching mechanism may also include a spring coupled to the release shaft that urges the release button to a non-depressed position. The latching mechanism may also include a spring coupled to the protruding portion of the trip-latch that urges the trip-latch to protrude from the body. A non-protruding portion of the trip-latch may engage the holding edge.

Abstract: Content rules engines for playback devices are disclosed herein. A media playback system receives a first command to form a synchrony group comprising a plurality of playback devices. The system receives a second command for the synchrony group to play back first audio content. In response to the second command, the first audio content is played back via the synchrony group. The system receives (i) second audio content to be played back by one or more of the playback devices of the synchrony group and (ii) content source properties associated with an audio source of the second audio content. The system accesses a rules engine to determine playback restrictions based at least in part on the content source properties. Based at least in part on the playback restrictions, operation of one or more of the playback devices is restricted.

Abstract: A content analysis system includes processor and memory hardware storing data analyzed content items and instructions for execution by the processor hardware. The instructions include, in response to a first intermediate content item being analyzed to generate a first text description, receiving the first intermediate content item and analyzing the first text description to generate a first reduced text description. The instructions include identifying a first set of tags by applying a tag model to the first text description and generating a first analyzed content item. The instructions include adding the first analyzed content item to the analyzed content database and, in response to a displayed content item being associated with at least one tag of the first set of tags, displaying a first user-selectable link corresponding to the first analyzed content item on a portion of a user interface of a user device displaying the displayed content item.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is described. This integrated circuit may include: an interface module with a first power domain and a second power domain. The first power domain may include a digital controller, and the second power domain may include a first analog front end (AFE) circuit. Moreover, the interface module may include up/down level shifters that communicate electrical signals that include a DC component from the first power domain to the second power domain. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit may provide a fully on-chip solution to handle level shifting between the AFE circuit and a digital controller in Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 during communication of electrical signals in a full-speed mode and/or a high-speed mode.

Abstract: A packed error correction code (ECC) technique opportunistically embeds ECC check-bits with compressed data. When compressed, the data is encoded in fewer bits and is therefore fragmented when stored or transmitted compared with the uncompressed data. The ECC check-bits may be packed with compressed data at “source” points. The check-bits are transmitted along with the compressed data and, at any “intermediate” point between the source and a “destination” the check-bits may be used to detect and correct errors in the compressed data. In contrast with conventional systems, packed ECC enables end-to-end coverage for sufficiently-compressed data within the processor and also externally. While storage circuitry typically is protected by structure-specific ECC, protection is also beneficial for data as it is transmitted between processing and/or storage units.

Abstract: A system and method for creating natural spatial variations in an audio output. At least one parameter in a set of mixer tuning parameters is dynamically modified over time and within a predetermined range that is defined by a set of modification control parameters. The set of mixer tuning parameters that includes the at least one dynamically modified parameter is applied to a mixer allowing the mixer to create natural spatial variations in the audio output to be played at one or more loudspeakers.

Abstract: Razor handles with integrated spring elements and/or methods of fabricating the same. In one example, a handle for a razor can comprise a head portion and a spring element having a distal end and a proximal end that longitudinally opposes the distal end to define an arc length of the spring element. The head portion can facilitate coupling razor cartridges in pivotal relation with the handle. The spring element can extend integrally from the head portion at the proximal end. The spring element can deflect as an abutment surface on the distal end travels in sliding engagement with a cam surface of a razor cartridge to an end point of the cam surface while exerting progressively increasing return torque as the razor cartridge rotates about a front pivot axis from a neutral position. The end point can fall proximal to a rear edge of the razor cartridge.

Abstract: Technologies for guiding an agricultural vehicle through crop rows using a camera and signal processing to locate the crop row or centers of the crop row. The signal processing uses a filter to filter data from images captured by the camera and locates the row or the centers based on the filtered data. The filter is generated based on a signal processing transform and an initial image of the crop row captured by the camera. The filter is applied to subsequent images of the crop row captured by the camera. In some embodiments, the camera includes one lens. For example, monocular computer vision is used in some embodiments. Also, in some embodiments, a central processing unit generates the filter based on the transform and the initial image of the crop row and applies the generated filter to the subsequent images of the row.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing an enterprise traffic interception service (TIS) to enforce policies that mandate how clients access software as a service (SaaS) offered by service providers and selectively intercept enterprise network traffic utilizing a domain name service (DNS) and a single sign-on (SSO) service on a per-client per-service basis. The TIS may include a DNS server, an identity provider service, a TLS inspecting proxy, and/or a policy server. The DNS server may handle requests to resolve an address of a service, and identify a policy, stored in the policy server, to redirect the client based on the identity of the client and the service. The identity provider service may later query the policy server during client authorization for the service to verify that the client request is in line with the policy and allow or deny access to the service.

Abstract: Identifying data quality along a data flow. A method includes identifying quality metadata for two or more datasets. The quality metadata defines one or more of quality of a data source, accuracy of a dataset, completeness of a dataset, freshness of a dataset, or relevance of a dataset. At least some of the metadata is based on results of operations along a data flow. Based on the metadata, the method includes creating one or more quality indexes for the datasets. The one or more quality indexes include a characterization of quality of two or more datasets.

Abstract: The present discussion relates to structures and devices to facilitate application of an ultrasound therapy beam to a target anatomic region in a replicable manner. In certain aspects, adjustable positioning structures are described that allow a general probe positioning structure to be configured for a specific patient in a manner that allows the device to be used repeatedly to target the anatomic region, even when in non-clinical settings. In other aspects, a probe positioning structure is fabricated that is specific to a respective patient anatomy, such that use of the probe positioning structure provides repeatable targeting of the target anatomic region, even when in non-clinical settings.
