Abstract: Examples of augmented reality (AR) environment control advantageously employ multi-factor intention determination and include: performing a multi-factor intention determination for summoning a control object (e.g., a menu, a keyboard, or an input panel) using a set of indications in an AR environment, the set of indications comprising a plurality of indications (e.g., two or more of a palm-facing gesture, an eye gaze, a head gaze, and a finger position simultaneously); and based on at least the set of indications indicating a summoning request by a user, displaying the control object in a position proximate to the user in the AR environment (e.g., docked to a hand of the user). Some examples continue displaying the control object while at least one indication remains, and continue displaying the control object during a timer period if one of the indications is lost.

Abstract: Embodiments of an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. In some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle includes a sensor array that can produce sensor data. The autonomous vehicle further includes a transceiver that can communicate with and receive data from at least a base station. Further, the autonomous vehicle includes a controller communicatively coupled with the sensor array and the transceiver. The controller includes code that receives a navigation plan data via the transceiver and navigates the autonomous vehicle along a navigation path specified in the navigation plan in such a manner as to avoid an interaction with one or more actual obstacles, in and around the navigation path, detected based at least in part on the sensor data.

Abstract: A system and method for generating radiometrically corrected surface images is provided. This includes providing one or more surface images of a first resolution of a surface area in the form of digital images which has a surface image sensor measurement of an intensity value of radiation in a given wavelength band reflected from the surface for each pixel of the images. A reference image of a second resolution of a corresponding surface area is provided to the surface of the surface image. The reference image has a surface reflectance for each pixel of the reference image for an equivalent wavelength band to the given wavelength band of the surface image. A functional relationship is modelled which relates the surface image sensor measurement for pixels of a surface image to the surface reflectance for pixels of the reference image to provide an estimated surface reflectance for each pixel of the surface images.

Abstract: A container may be provided. The container may comprise a first surface and a second surface concentric with the first surface. The first surface and the second surface may define a volume. The volume may house a concentric length of multiple parallel conductors. The multiple parallel conductors may pass through a restricting mechanism to restrict the multiple parallel conductors to pass at the same rate and at the same length.

Abstract: Techniques for evaluating the performance and effectiveness of user support services and capital resources are disclosed herein. One or more tools are provided that allow a user support services group to be managed more efficiently. User support services groups are managed as a typical profit and loss (P&L) center, and one or more tools provides a P&L-type interface that allows user services support managers to make balancing decision taking into account revenue and cost considerations.
