Abstract: The disclosed technology addresses the need in the art to enable users to broadcast a status that indicates that a user is inviting others to join their livestream, such that they are either prepared to livestream or is livestreaming. An invite-to-join status may be limited to the specific friends and community members of the user's choosing. If the user has no viewer yet, the user will not broadcast a livestream and will continue with what they are doing, such as playing a game or watching a movie. Once a first viewer joins, then the user screen may be broadcasted into a livestream.

In one or more arrangements, the bit guide has a boring drill bit slidably located within a guide cylinder, a stop collar coupled to the boring bit, and a spring around the throat of the boring bit between a top spring surface of the guide cylinder and a bottom spring surface of the stop collar. In one or more arrangements, the spring is configured to urge the boring bit into a non-contact position with the workpiece.

Abstract: In some aspects, finer grained parallelism is achieved by segmenting programmatic workloads into smaller discretized portions, where a first element can be indicative both of a configuration or program to be executed, and a first data set to be used in such execution, while a second element can be indicative of a second data element or group. The discretized portions can cause program execute on distributed processors. Approaches to selecting processors, and allocating local memory associated with those processors are disclosed. In one example, discretized portions that share a program have an anti-affinity to cause dispersion, for initial execution assignment. Flags, such as programmer and compiler generated flags can be used in determining such allocations. Workloads can be grouped according to compatibility of memory usage requirements.

Abstract: Augmented reality-based training and troubleshooting is described for medical devices. An electronic mobile device can be equipped with an AR application that, when executed, causes the electronic mobile device to provide augmented reality-based training on how to set up, or perform maintenance on, one or more components of a medical device. The AR application, when executed, can also cause the electronic mobile device to provide augmented reality-based troubleshooting for one or more components of a medical device.

Abstract: Aspects relate to tracing rays in 3-D scenes that comprise objects that are defined by or with implicit geometry. In an example, a trapping element defines a portion of 3-D space in which implicit geometry exist. When a ray is found to intersect a trapping element, a trapping element procedure is executed. The trapping element procedure may comprise marching a ray through a 3-D volume and evaluating a function that defines the implicit geometry for each current 3-D position of the ray. An intersection detected with the implicit geometry may be found concurrently with intersections for the same ray with explicitly-defined geometry, and data describing these intersections may be stored with the ray and resolved.

Abstract: Aspects include a multistage collector to receive outputs from plural processing elements. Processing elements may comprise (each or collectively) a plurality of clusters, with one or more ALUs that may perform SIMD operations on a data vector and produce outputs according to the instruction stream being used to configure the ALU(s). The multistage collector includes substituent components each with at least one input queue, a memory, a packing unit, and an output queue; these components can be sized to process groups of input elements of a given size, and can have multiple input queues and a single output queue. Some components couple to receive outputs from the ALUs and others receive outputs from other components. Ultimately, the multistage collector can output groupings of input elements. Each grouping of elements (e.g., at input queues, or stored in the memories of component) can be formed based on matching of index elements.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for modifying parametric continuity between portions of a digital image in piecewise parametric patch deformations. For example, the disclosed system determine parametric patches in a parametric quilt corresponding to a digital image in response to a request to deform the digital image. The disclosed system divides the digital image into a plurality of separate portions along edges of the parametric patches, each parametric patch comprising a separate set of control points. The disclosed system generates sets of interactive handles for each anchor control point in the parametric patch corresponding to metadata flags that determine parametric continuities between portions of the digital image. Additionally, in response to a user input, the disclosed system modifies the parametric continuity at a portion of the digital image corresponding to an anchor control point by modifying a metadata flag for the control point.
